this started off pretty interesting but then it ended up being 600 pages on my kindle which should be illegal! idgaf what’s going on, no romance book this started off pretty interesting but then it ended up being 600 pages on my kindle which should be illegal! idgaf what’s going on, no romance book should be over 320 pages and these authors must be stopped.

like 10% i was enjoying it because i could see the potential but the further i got the more i realized how shitty the writing is and how fucking stupilike 10% i was enjoying it because i could see the potential but the further i got the more i realized how shitty the writing is and how fucking stupid this book is. not sure why it has literally 4 stars when nothing is happening? i’m literally on my knees and begging you guys to want more from the books you read. ...more
i find the world very fascinating but i just could not bring myself to give a shit about the romance, i think ill read the other books since they’re si find the world very fascinating but i just could not bring myself to give a shit about the romance, i think ill read the other books since they’re standalones but im just so disappointed because i really enjoyed kingdom of the wicked and it’s romance but the romance was just so boring here and felt like it was only created purely for the smut ...more
it wasn’t exactly terrible, actually pretty decent but the lack of characterization is why it gets 2 starsbruh i should’ve just left this as a dnf omg
it wasn’t exactly terrible, actually pretty decent but the lack of characterization is why it gets 2 stars. if you’re going to publish your fan fiction you need to remember to give these characters personality. this is now your story so you can’t use the source material characterization as your own. i just feel like a lot could’ve been edited out and that this could’ve been a stand alone because there is no real conflict until the very last page. this book was written with enemies to lovers in mind first and the plot… not even in mind....more
this isn’t my first omegaverse book and it won’t be my last. first thing i noticed about other reviews is that people who’s first venture into omegavethis isn’t my first omegaverse book and it won’t be my last. first thing i noticed about other reviews is that people who’s first venture into omegaverse was this book and honestly you’re missing out if that’s the case, it’s fun! you’ll have to pry omegaverse out of my cold dead hands (pun not intended)but this is my first where they both aren’t werewolves so that was interesting. i also don’t read a lot of published omegaverse books because i feel like they’re painfully straight and they often times miss the point of omegaverse but WHATEVER
i really enjoyed the lore in this book it really feels like ali hazelwood put in her all but unfortunately it seems she forgot to make it interesting…? about 100 pages in i was bored and ready for the plot. i’m aware it’s a standalone so i tried to be patient which caused me to focus on how this absolutely is not an enemies to lovers romance. don’t know why it’s marketed as that when they aren’t enemies? their species are enemies but the two characters just didn’t care for each other? so miss leading!
idk this is my fourth ali hazelwood and it might be my last. i really really really loved the love hypothesis but i don’t think my love for that can ever be replicated again. im very confused as to why people were hyping up this book acting like it’s so great it’s literally so bland omg? i feel like most readers must not have ever read omegaverse before or something so they don’t have anything to compare it to? AMATEURS!...more

i thought this was really fun and a bit insane, i enjoyed how messy it was because it kept me intrigued. igregory “down astronomically bad” bridgerton
i thought this was really fun and a bit insane, i enjoyed how messy it was because it kept me intrigued. i love how much gregory loved romance and his friendship with kate! i wish the romance was a tiny bit better because they randomly were like “oh so THIS is what love feels like? well i love lucy/gregory” and it just kinda felt rushed instead of making it a bit organic but other than that i had a time!...more

clio evans kinda writes the same plots because the characters in her books always go out on dates and then they hook up and they also basically become a couple that same day because it’s really instalove. the smut was good but the characters kept saying or thinking random shit that would piss me off. the random plot thrown in at the end also was just kinda like?...more
i liked this book but i wanted to love it, i thought i was going to love it but i just don’t think this had the kind of tension and angst i w3.5 stars
i liked this book but i wanted to love it, i thought i was going to love it but i just don’t think this had the kind of tension and angst i was expecting from rivals to lovers. i felt like things kinda moved too fast and it felt very fluffy which isn’t really for me. the smut was good though and im so glad this book was about two black girls in love. i just think this author may not be for me, ive read another one of her books and it just doesn’t hit like i want it to. ...more
