The gang of characters in this book have buried absurdly deep inside my lil heart, and I love that through every situation they find themselves in, the team stay so connected to each other and the depth of their friendship is completely endless.
HOWEVER, I read to escape the real world, not to experience it in the books I enjoy.... so the obvious political undertone of this whole book made me feel icky down to my core.
Just give me superheroes, the rag tag gang, Nicky's ADHD brain shenanigans, awful dad jokes, cringey sex talks, and let Seth and Nicky kiss.... I do not need or require a 5 minute monologue about police brutality or police corruption and real world issues disguised as an upset parent yelling at another parent for being a cop. It felt weird and unimportant to the story. Police corruption alone would have worked, but it just took it too far to a point it was strange.
I STILL LOVED IT THOUGH, THE BOOK WOULD HAVE BEEN 5 STAR IF THE POLITICS COULD HAVE TAKEN A CHILL PILL, BUT THAT ENDING WAS FUCKING EPIC. [image]...more

I love going into a book completely blind, and then it BLOWS YOU OUT OF THE FUCKING WATER.
The atmosphere was DUMMY THICCCCCCCCCCCCCCC with this one.
Genderfluid MC Mars, goes back to the last known whereabouts of their dead twin sister to try and work out why she went insane, which ultimately leads to her death. This was creepy and haunting af, especially considering it's a YA??? Bruh. I WAS CAPTIVATED. I listened to the last 30% in one go because I couldn't stop.
I low-key feel it's borderline psychopathic behaviour to sit on your couch with your headphones in, doing nothing with your hands, listening to an audiobook.... ...more

Not only did you bring me immense joy with this series, but you brought me so much closer to the girls in my book club, you opened conversations to me with random people on the internet, you wrote a series that I could tell my friends about and hoped they enjoyed as much as I did, you wrote something that allowed me and my book besties to talk about over months, you wrote two infuriatingly loveable characters and mixed it with the most intense action movie moments that you could ever read on paper. And on top of that, you gave Jack and Ethan THE ENDING THE DESERVED....more
What da FUQ did I just read and why do I feel guilty for having THE BEST TIME?
This book was a fucking SHOCK to my little vanilla icecream, white breadWhat da FUQ did I just read and why do I feel guilty for having THE BEST TIME?
This book was a fucking SHOCK to my little vanilla icecream, white bread, pepper too spicy system. (I know there's WAY worse/more fucked books out there, but most of the time I like to read for fun, silly tehe's and men kissing, so I'm very inexperienced in the fucked up book world)
WOW. Wow. wow.

To say I was UNDERWHELMED for 80% of this book, would feel like an understatement.

Sure tTo say I was UNDERWHELMED for 80% of this book, would feel like an understatement.
It was just doing fine? It just really did be plotting along...
Sure there was mystery (one I didn't solve before the reveal, because I am dumb and don't piece things together because i'm just trying to vibe here)
But the frustrations lied with... the fact the boys do not talk about their feelings. Everything felt up in the air. The fact there was like no wolf content for most of the book was kinda weird too, but towards the end you do get a lil crumb, and I ATE THAT SHIT UP. GIVE ME PROTECTIVE WOLF PARK. ...more
