I don't want to be rude, but oh my god. I just wanted to slap Maddie across the face the entire time and tell her to shut up. Even James sometimes almost made me puke, and that is saying a lot. How do you mess up an overprotective, broody mmc that we all usually love? This is how. Shadow and Mist saved this book. Also, I find it extremely hilarious how this book is a giant (failed) attemp at a therapy session, and then one of the characters describes the other with “He is not a okay in the head.” Like, are you kidding me? Okay in the head?
Oh! And one more thing!
Maddie is a really bad person and an even worse friend. We didn't need the confirmation from her evil “therapist”, it was obvious from page one.
I know this is only a book, but come on! I needed at least one thing to be realistic. People do NOT act like that in small towns. You don't just go and sit next to the person you saw once in your life and, what? Order and deliver them a breakfast? And you fall in love with them after you spent two more seconds with them? Based on what?
Also, this didn't feel like grumpy x sunshine, more like an adult x a child. Alice, please, grow up.
Three stars for the small town setting / atmosphere which I really liked! And for Margaret, because it was interesting, whatever the hell that was.
I hate Rue so much I cant even finish this book.
You can sleep with random strangers but can't talk like a normal person? with the people you know? also, if you are feeling SO guilty that you betrayed your best friend, whyyyyy did you do it? I really cannot be on her side and I don't really care what happens to her.
pass!
I see this book is getting a lot of hate because the humor is cringy, the characters are a bit flat, blah blah. And you know what? It's true. But sometimes I just want to read a silly little book and giggle like a silly little girl. No dramatics, no stupid characters that are only making things worse pRoTeCtInG their love interest, etc.
I rarely like FMCs because they are always so moody and wounded and “badass” but then, they act like little bitches. But my girl Evie!!! Loved her. So much.
a waste of time.
dnf at 60% (soooooo much time wasted)
soooo boring, at some point I let the audiobook just go on🤣
I would tune in every now and then, realize that Raeve is STILL whining like a little bitch (sorry, badass emotionless assassin) that she is, and tune back out again. eventually I just gave up. sorry!
Okay, this was interesting enough to finish it. I will probably read the second part because I want to see more of Zade. Addie annoys me to the point I skipped some parts in order to GET to the POINT.
Yeah, yeah, we get it
You get turned on every five seconds, good for you!
The murder mystery turned out to be very... not important after all? Maybe there will be more to it in the second part.
