Well...I was wrong when I said I'd probably read the whole series.
The FMC is just so irritating. Like she genuinely just says the stupidest things but it's cute because she's "quirky". No. It's just annoying.
The relationship between her and the Guardians also just kind of...happens? It didn't feel like there was any build up or development at all. They're just like "welp, guess we're together now". It didn't make me care what happened with them at all. It all just feels...meh to me.
I really wanted to like this since I've liked series from both authors in the past but the writing and humour just feels really childish. Especially considering the FMC is supposed to be 28. She feels really immature and naive which doesn't really fit who her character supposed to be.
Speaking of, a lot of people were complaining in the reviews for the first book that all she thinks about is sex. I didn't really agree then but I definitely do now. Really important, detrimental events will be going on and all she can think about is having more sex. It was just really bizarre timing.
Overall, I really struggled to finish this. The first half was fine but the second half just felt like it tracked on despite it being a fast-paced book.
🌶Spice🌶 is a 4/5 based on this scale:
0 - no spice whatsoever
1 - kissing, fade to black
2 - making out, vague/non-explicit discription
3 - full description, explicit language
4 - light-medium kink (bdsm, exhibitionism, etc)
5 - heavy kink (CNC, knife play, dubcon, etc)
5+ illegal kinks (incest, necrophilia, bestiality, etc)
With three major spicy scenes
