This book is a very clear example to me that sometimes you just need to take some time before reading a book. 

I tried reading this when it was relatively new, and my brain just didn't connect with it at all.. and yet, this time around it's hitting all my likes, and I've completely fallen in love with the characters! 

the book is really well written and I'm having a grand time with them. I definitely see myself rereading them when the next books come out!

Assist by L.A. Witt
Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.

it jus never caught my attention. the polycule was uncomfortable to read, and the way the characters thought was too samey.. it felt like selfcest between 3 copies of the same person 
too many sec scenes abd too little actual development

honestly I never really felt caught by it. I saw the twist coming from a mile away and honestly the only character I wanted to know more about was Henry. 
I've loved several of Schwab's other books (savage song and gallant) and I plan to continue with vicious, but I must admit to being disappointed about this one, especially with all the hype .
