this was good if you are looking for a beginner novel into scifi. this had enjoyable characters but gotdamn was kyr annoying! it was so frustrating3.5
this was good if you are looking for a beginner novel into scifi. this had enjoyable characters but gotdamn was kyr annoying! it was so frustrating reading from her perspective as i found her to lack a lot of personality that other characters had. but it was still fun in the end and had a lot of good moments. ...more
i don’t know if it’s because i have insomnia myself or the fact that i read this faster than i could blink but i absolutely loved this book.
i don’t ki don’t know if it’s because i have insomnia myself or the fact that i read this faster than i could blink but i absolutely loved this book.
i don’t know if everyone will love this but surely it’s for me! i loved how it felt like scooby do but adult, i loved the graveyard setting and i loved this weird friend group they formed. i loved that not every character was a college student and that every character had something personal going on even with how short this book is.
one of my favorite tropes is when the found family is an unlikely group, where they form a found family relationship but either the characters hated each other beforehand or they’re so vastly different you wouldn’t expect them to be friends and surprisingly this book does that well! i think Rio does a good job at writing found family’s or group dynamics in general and i hope to see more of that from her in the future.
i do agree with everyone on the fact that it should’ve been longer but mostly because i fell in love with the characters and wanted more from them. i do think it’s the perfect length for this story because i actually don’t think for me that it would’ve worked as a full length novel....more

this book is so dramatic, it kept assuming it came out in 2017 or something because of the way it reads but no it literally came out 2 years ago. i althis book is so dramatic, it kept assuming it came out in 2017 or something because of the way it reads but no it literally came out 2 years ago. i also feel like the book had WAY too many characters at first but after a while it was pretty decent, it made it a bit more fun actually. other than that i think this book was super fun! it read like a netflix or hulu book adaptation. it brought me back to when i used to read contemporaries in high school and they were just fun. ok and this book had an only girl in a group of guys trope which i love so it really made the book that much better for me ...more
honestly i’m just happy i finished! this is a character driven story and one thing i learn from the tv show is that this is a story that grows on me. honestly i’m just happy i finished! this is a character driven story and one thing i learn from the tv show is that this is a story that grows on me. i needed time with the characters learning this world and everything to happen at the pace it did so (hopefully) i could enjoy the rest of the series. i will be continuing!...more

y’all… i have so much to say yet i cannot figure how to put it into words? first of all i took notes reading this book just because i wanted to see ify’all… i have so much to say yet i cannot figure how to put it into words? first of all i took notes reading this book just because i wanted to see if i could be on my detective shit and it was so much fun, i think it helped with my enjoyment of the book. that and i’ve read 3 of the shakespeare plays that they did (macbeth being my fav). i loved the characters and the story itself. i love how this was basically a shakespeare novel, like the tragedy of it all… a lot of shakespeare retellings usually just use him as inspiration but no this bitch really said i’m going to be in my shakespeare bag and she ate! i need her to write another book and quickly! i enjoyed the friend group so much. it’s so hard for me to connect to found families that are already established but the author did such an amazing job at showing their dynamic’s individually and together. it was just so good and the ending? omg ...more
i need more superhero/supervillain books and i need more books by this author specifically. before i get started i jus“i am a fucking delicate flower”
i need more superhero/supervillain books and i need more books by this author specifically. before i get started i just want to say that i listened to this via audiobook and i HATEDDD the authors narration for jane, the voice she used made me hate her i get what she was trying to do but she shouldn’t have.
anywaysssss i loveddd this book. THIS BOOK INTRODUCED ME TO A NEW TROPE I DIDNT EVEN KNOW I LOVED AND I CANT EVEN SAY IT BC SPOILERS. the villain? immaculate, the characters? immaculate, the found family vibes? immaculate!! i really really wish this was a series it was sooo good. you can tell this author has a love for superhero movies and mostly villains. as a lover of all superhero movies especially dc villains i’m just absolutely obsessed with this book.
it was a bit hard to get into the book in the first chapter but once i was into it i was in!!! i know this is adult and Renegades is YA but like this is what i wanted from that series!! it was a bit corny to be but that’s because it’s for YA or people who enjoy that kind of YA but this!! this is for me!
the body horror towards the end? chefs kiss, yeah Natalie you got an autobuy outta me girl. i really hope the author releases more books because this really just did it for me. ...more
CONNOR MF COBALT okay so i didn’t want to read these books because i didn’t enjoy the addicted books, i started this book before but hated how the authCONNOR MF COBALT okay so i didn’t want to read these books because i didn’t enjoy the addicted books, i started this book before but hated how the authors writes the romance once they’re together instead of letting us see the progress of the relationship. i randomly decided to read this because i missed rose and conor and boy did i make the right choice, i love reality tv and i completely forgot that’s what this book was about. it had so much good drama, good smut snd dirty talk. i love the core six so much, i lowkey felt like i missed them. ugh soo good!!! this was literally like reading gossip girl but with my favorite ships rose and conor are blair and dan, ryke and daisy are nate and jenny, i don’t care for lily and lo so i have nothing to say for them except i won’t be reading the addicted books anymore. i will say daisy being 17 and the way the talk about sex with her makes me so uncomfortable though like they’re so open about it which is cool i guess it’s just weird ...more
okay when i first went into this book i tioyght it was going to be a cutiesy fantasy romance and boy was a i wrong! this was fun and honestly this hadokay when i first went into this book i tioyght it was going to be a cutiesy fantasy romance and boy was a i wrong! this was fun and honestly this had more plot in less than 200 pages than books that are 500+. the book was hilarious and the romance? oh man the demon was giving demon combined with klaus from tv. not to mention that smut!! this was a pleasant surprise and everything i’ve been looking for. please don’t let the corny, long title deter you from reading this. ...more
4.5 stars (updating this rating bc i cannot stop thinking about this book) let me start off by acknowledging the fact that i am a hypocrite yes. i know4.5 stars (updating this rating bc i cannot stop thinking about this book) let me start off by acknowledging the fact that i am a hypocrite yes. i know i said i would not be reading from this author, i know i said i wouldn’t read this book. i don’t support the author, i read this book illegally and i definitely don’t recommend it. i was watching cari can read’s video and i was GAGGED i had to read it myself i’m so sorry i had to read it for myself. y’all know i love tea, i love drama and this book was THAT.
now let’s get into this review. hunt and bryce were cute, im not really here for the romance so i didn’t care much for them. one thing i can say it that SJM has some good ass side characters. my boys, ithan, tharion, declan and cormac were everythinggg. i kinda fw ruhn too also i love hypaxia that is my GIRL. i also kinda have a love for the hind too i’m not even gonna lie. SJM can write a world chile, like i’m obsessed with the nine realms so the world being called midgard is cool to me. this book just hit so much more than the first one did for some reason? i think i liked the plot better. also no hate to bryce, i like her but the book following other people more and her less was just it for me. danika still ruining people lives from the grave was my favorite part of this story like i can’t wait to see how things happen in the third book like how many secrets her ass had that end up in that book. i’m not a huge SJM fan or a fan at all really but that end had me GAGGING. she’s kind of.. an evil genuis? in a previous review for the last book my complaint was that the book didn’t need to be that long. although i still feel like this book didn’t need to be long i do feel like she made great use out of 800 pages...more
i’m actually lost for words? i was so scared this was going to disappoint me and for a second in the beginning i was kinda thinking it would but just i’m actually lost for words? i was so scared this was going to disappoint me and for a second in the beginning i was kinda thinking it would but just when i needed it to leigh bardugo pulled through. i loved the found family vibes, i loved galaxy stern and i loved darlington naked with horns in his slut era this entire book. leigh bardugo better never make me wait 3 years again but this was definitely more than worth it....more
