Shout out to bookclub because I ordinarily wouldn’t have picked this up. This is a Latvian slice of life book and I’m glad to have read about Latvia and her history. I love the way the author wrote about depression.

I was engaged but I wanted more. The “reveal” felt flat to me. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop but it never did.

I’m obsessed with them your honour!!!
This might be my favourite one yet, which is interesting considering I’m not a fan of the nanny and single dad trope. Oh but I enjoyed this so much, the romance was delicious, everything else was beautiful 🥹
Can’t wait for wild and wrangled!!

The suffering in this knew no end and I simply will not participate. I read spoilers and immediately no. All that for her to die??? Kristin when I catch you?

It would have hit me more if I wasn’t heavily medicated on anti depressants. Loved my queen Tova 👵🏼and Marcellus 🐙
Cameron pissed me off to no end but a beautiful book nonetheless

For She is Wrath by Emily Varga
I’ve only watched the count of monte cristo so that was my frame of reference.
The revenge was lacking for me. There was so much talk of revenge and the execution was not satisfying.
I simply did not care for the romance one bit and that’s saying something. The friendship between Noor and Dania might have healed something in me.
I wished Noor wasn’t a voice of reason and allowed Dania to enact her revenge to her full potential. The feminine rage seemed to cool off once we found out that of course Maz didn’t betray her and let’s leave the emperor and forget about our revenge… like miss mamas???!!
And another thing that pissed me off, the grandmother… you wretched little wench. Oh that story line pissed me off so much.
With that being said it was an engaging read and I finished it in two days. I liked that it took some things from the monte cristo story(per what I watched) but not all of it and the changes were very welcome.
In conclusion I wanted more rage and revenge.

It started off very strong however I got tired when I got to the 70% mark. It did not need to be that long and Dominic gave me the ick after a while.
I love how spousal grief was handled and Sloane’s relationship with her sister in law and mother in law. I cannot believe I’m saying this but I wanted less smut and more relationship 🫢
I will be continuing with the series because I enjoy the author’s writing so much
