Serpentine Valentine by Giana Darling

5 Stars!
“it takes courage to love someone who thinks they are broken,”
I love everything I've read by Giana Darling, so I instantly signed up for this ALC without even looking into the tropes. When I tell you I screamed in excitement that Giana Darling was gracing the world with a sapphic romance, I think I scared my roommates. It was such a beautiful story about a college student who was advantage of by a man in power, and how sometimes the systems meant to protect us fail us the most. This is a powerful story of a strong FMC who deals with an intense trauma, who must then find the new her amongst broken pieces as she makes a stronger version of herself while healing. This book was a deliciously slow, but extremely steamy romance. I loved Lex and Luna as a couple, and I love that Luna supports in her in so many ways. I love that it's not just a story of romance, but also one of justice for voices that were silenced in the past. It was just overall stunning.
What to expect:
FF romance
Medusa Retelling
Revenge / feminine rage
Dark academia
Story on trauma and finding you voice when society tries to silence you
