The MC is a little bit more annoying because she’s dumb. And I wish authors would just give us what we want and gift us the poly ending we deserve after an annoying (to say the least) love triangle. I do love the kind of reverse harem thing going on though. Also a nice excuse to imagine the prettiest people as the characters by having all supernatural creatures be hella beautiful.
The world of deadly beauties sucked me in and I couldn’t put the book down. The lores, characters, drama (relationship, family), I love everything about them.
Also, why the fuck would you even consider going back to Kane after all the shit he gave you when he was ‘hurt’? That was borderline abusive and most definitely toxic but because of a ‘bond’ (that’s already broken at that point) you just keep going back to him??? Just because he said sorry doesn’t mean he wasn’t a dick. Choose the dutiful man who protects you despite everything (and is definitely the hotter one anyway).
