LOVED how plot-heavy and fast-paced this book was, but it didn't wow me the way ninth house did. can't fkn wait for the next book tho bc i love every character

3.5
spooky

rly RLY good! super creepy and atmospheric, and i'm really digging the get out x haunting on hill house premise. tiffany d. jackson is such an underrated author & deserves sm more hype! definitely gonna read more of her backlist later in the year :))

3.5
i liked this much better than the ‘if love' books bc of the soap opera-esque dramatics. very trashy, very entertaining. also surprisingly not as spicy as i was expecting

my first liane moriarty novel and i really enjoyed it! the story & reveals were well-paced and all the characters were pretty vivid. also loved reading a more mature character's pov hehe i loved being in the head of a sweet old lady.

i quite liked this one! it reminded me a lot of the show alias w/ jennifer garner! for some reason the end seemed a little too convenient and a little cheesy to me, but i do think it makes sense. but the plot leading up to the big reveal really had me on my toes

4.5
what the hell this was so good?? ali hazelwood has really done it. my fave by her that i've read so far!

2.5
was fully gonna stop reading this series bc this shit it SO repetitive but the cliffhanger at the end... i guess i'll read the next one

this one was hard to get through. such a let down compared to the silent patient

3.25
how ~mysterious~. let's see if the rest of the duology keeps me engaged

god i'm so happy that i'm (pretty much) (still need to read the epilogue) done with this series. the stories started getting sooo repetitive. the first trilogy was pretty addictive, but the three books after didn't have to exist imo. also them all being in high school kinda creeped me out LOL. i hope the kingdom duet rly pulls thru bc if it doesn't, i rescind my commitment of reading all of rina kent's entire backlist.

3.25
a really important read but pacing and format was kinda meh. i still think this book could be very impactful on young adults that may not have prior knowledge about domestic abuse, eating disorders, and mental health issues. not necessarily enjoyable, but definitely informative.

using this as a placeholder for boycotted titles bc fuck SMP & fuck authors that aren't pro-palestine. no promo from me :)

1. read an SMP title

tbh xanders book made me a lil bored of this series but this one was wAY better. if ur gonna read please check trigger warning as there are details of child abuse.

4.25!!! thoroughly enjoyed it, loved all the characters & i am obsessed

while i do not think this was as good as the other books in THG trilogy, it definitely added to the world! it's so interesting to see snow just as a normal person. it wasn't exactly the villain origin story i was expecting, but i do think it's a realistic one. this book didn't validate his action in THG trilogy at all thankfully, but it definitely shows how power and notoriety were his biggest goals. sorry to break it to u snow, but when the dust settled at the end of mockingjay snow did NOT end up on top :/

bought this book on a whim and i gotta say i am so pleasantly surprised!!! it was so sweet & emotional but also shows the realities of falling in love with someone outside of your social norms. loved it so much abby jimenez rly knows how to write a story that has me blushing and crying. can't wait to pick up another one of her books <3333

if this is anywhere NEAR being as good as icebreaker i will explode

god i live for a trashy toxic romance

aiden rly tried to fuck the trauma out of her

15/02/23: this one BETTER be purple

UPDATE 24/02/23YES IT'S PURPLE god it's gonna look so cute on my shelf :3

FINISHED 9/09/23
this was everything i ever wanted and more
