Ritual Income by B.L. Brown

Did not finish book. Stopped at 5%.

The story does seem interesting but there was just too many mixes of foreign languages alongside words created for this book that it was hard for me to be able to follow along.

I was already struggling at 5% so decided not to force myself :( Book itself seems decently wrote but just not for me.

An Unexpected Gift

M/M Romance
Dislike to Lovers
Grumpy x Sunsine

Pros: For a short book it fits a lot of storylines without being overcrowded or confusing. Both Ezra and Kyle have very realistic reactions to the plot in a way that makes their conversations so smooth to read. Knows when to have banter and when to let emotional aspects shine.

Cons: Sometimes Kyle can seem a bit full on with how invested he is from the get go. The plot is fairly predictable after a certain point

I genuinely thought the twist was coming that Kyle was a murderer to the point that I laughed when Ezra himself pointed out thats how Kyle was coming across. Also 3rd act break up. Why!

There is also a couple of translation errors/grammar issues on kindle version but easy to ignore
