shout out to the girly that made a tiktok about twilight and influenced me to randomly decide to binge the twilight saga, YOU ARE A REAL ONE!
I unironically LOVED this a lot, it is so interesting to see how much i liked the book even more than the movies even though I should have known! I really liked to see how much more they get to deepen their relationship, not only Bella and Edward, but also Bella and the Cullens, specifically Alice and Jasper.
It makes so much sense that the parts that stood out to me about this book were the tropes and plot points that I usually gravitate towards in current reads haha (“maddy knew who she was from a very young age”) like age gap, possessive and protective mcs, obsessed mmc, quirky and intelligent fmc with a some parental issues lol, the list goes on!
def jumping right into new moon, shout out my library for having the audiobooks available.
“I love you”, I whispered.
“I love you”, I whispered.
“You are my life now”, he answered simply.

this turned into one of my favorite dark mafia romances ever not even half way through reading it but I don’t think I’ll ever read this again, it was heartbreaking 😭😭 they both went through hell and back together and came out on the other side together 🥹 I loved how trauma was discussed and how Amara was seen by everyone around her as so strong because not despite everything she went through and still came out alive and fighting.

I loved how amazing this book was as a compliment to the first and also to expand the universe for the rest of the series! I am now very invested and will most likely binge tf out of this haha
something that really stood out for me from their relationship was not only how indescribably linked they had been their whole lives but also how they were able to meet each other where they were at, even with how prideful and stubborn they were. the spice is even better because of how emotional their relationship is.
I am looking forward to see how Dante and Amara's relationship develops with the next book

This was a messy ass book but I was entertained? The spice was good but the gap in communication was awful 🤷🏽♀️ good for a quick spicy billionaire romance

THIS WAS AMAZING
I’m honestly really mad at myself for waiting this long to read this book but I will say I’m glad I did since I got to buddy read it and that just made the experience ten times better!
I immediately ordered the next one in the series since it follows the same couple but I also bought Gothikana cuz I have a feeling I’ll like anything Runyx likes

i really liked this one! I knew going into it that it was spicy which i loved but i was pleasantly surprised by the amount of character growth! Even the side characters being present and growing as well as the two main characters made me have a great time reading this and really hope for the next ones in this series to come out soon! Also yess it is pretty spicy but it totally didn't feel gratuitous at all, it felt purposeful, i.e. the last scene was one of the best emotionally charged spicy scenes I have read!

freaking loved this one, one of the spiciest bev jenkins books I’ve read so far! Prolly one of the most emotional ones too, both Cara Lee and Chase go through it but the ending is so satisfying as every book by her is 🥰

my man Kane did not play about Tami at all!! I loved how he was extremely protective and caring of her, the fact that he could literally smell her change in moods really helped that too. I do wish the climax was a little more fleshed out but other than it was a quick and good time
