I'm glad it was relatively short. It did have me wondering different scenarios of what could be happening but in the end I was not surprised and was not very clever IMO.

3.5

Enjoyed the audiobook, it was narrated very well.

The characters were interesting and didn't get bored of any of them. The writer set the scenery in a way you can easily picture the house, the town, characters, and the vibe. It wasn't too long but the story wasn't rushed, it was done just right in length. It definitely wasn't what I expected.

No rating (I don't rate nonfiction. )

I took realizations about myself and my family from this and some good laughs. All in all, a good therapy session

The characters weren't intriguing. Addie is the most unimaginative person in the book. She wants to have her freedom (completely understandable) but yet she hardly did anything with it for over 300 years. To be fair i can understand it would be difficult to trick your way into many things like airlines for traveling but it seemed like she made everything difficult, for example, stealing a book when there's libraries around? Being broken hearted by not being remembered, yet always inflicting that pain by going back to the same people and have them meet you all over again.

I do not understand how Luc (the devil who made her the deal) even got interested in her. He is apparently ageless and has met countless people but yet Addie Larue is the girl whom you can't let go? Ok.

I will at least give her props for being determined not to quit and give up her soul quickly even after all her hardship.

As for the romance, it seemed like the only reason she even wanted to be with Henry was because he remembered her. She mentioned more how he didn't fit with her than why she liked being around him. Which is funny considering he always felt unloved or not enough. Addie basically just used everyone she came into contact with and tried to make herself the victim.

I didn't care who died or vanished from this book. The only time I actually felt any emotion was with her last visit to see her mother. I felt more bad for her parents than I did for her or anyone else.

This book should have just been called The Exploitations of Addie Larue

Finished this in a day. I didn't expect to like it so much since I rarely read about fae. This was so talked about a lot though as a non YA cozy read I decided to give it a try.

A warning: if your vocabulary isn't vast like mine, you will have to look up many words
