I wouldn’t say this is a romance. I’d describe it a sci-fi thriller/horror with some romantic elements. 

That being said, I really liked it!

Julia has led a million lives and I enjoyed hearing about all of them. 

I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

Sad and thoughtful while still leaving us with hope. This is the first memoir I’ve read on a long while and a good one to break the streak.

She had to go, but Makima is one of my favorite villains ever. I like how they explained why she was the way she was without excusing it.

So good! I’m excited to read part 2!

I have a headache. 

Makima! 

Not Power! She was one of my favs and will be missed.

Kobenie! Please start punching people who deserve it. We saw what you’re capable of. 

Super interesting to think of what Makima’s erased though. Three endings other than death!?!? I’m sure they’ll never go deeper into that, but I’m curious.

NOOOOOOOO!

Never say what you love. Violence is gone. Kobeni is gone. Aki is DEAD!!!!!!

I did really like Power & Denji, though. I liked how they showed them doing things that looked romantic/sexual, but weren’t. They’re friends and they love one another. I liked seeing the extent of that connection shown on page.

The installment was great, but damn!

My favorite installment so far! 

A lot happens in this chapter, but the pace still feels right.

Darkness looked amazing. Kobeni/Violence were so cute. Doll Devil!

I’m loving all the action in this chapter and all the new characters. 

Kobeni is one of my favs I do not care!

her and Biolence were unexpectedly cute! She got a new car!

Poor, Reze. Poor, Denji.

For the first time in this series, I wish they wouldn’t have taken more time with the introduction of this character and their story with Denji. 

The story hit me, but it would’ve hit so much harder if we’d had more time with these characters.

And a new contender enters the Frey!

I wish she wasn’t known by devils though.
