-did this as my first ever buddy read on Storygraph with my friend Haley and now I'm addicted and I want to do more. Wow seriously what a cool feature, I now have 3 book tracker apps lmao
-slow but captivating in the beginning
-my connection to this was very different than most people; one of the MCs name was "Keira" which is close to Kiera and of course I found myself rooting for her the entire fucking time
-The books that were described that Roza wrote made me wish they were real, they all sounded so good
-i've never read the word "undulated" more in my life, it's like the authors signature word
-a couple surprise spicy scenes, that *ahem* worked. (hallway/banister pgs 123-124 on kindle)
-non-con drugging TW
-don't sign a fucking NDA unless you read the damn thing
-didn't quote connect with the Lamia possession thing
-def would read more from julia bartz, which is something bc i said i will never read another andrea bartz (her sister) book again in my life
