Heres what I had issues with. - Even though this was a fantasy the author really made it aware how very human-like this world of "vampires" are so the age gap, and timing of when they got together grossed me out completely. - Even though I felt sorry for Rose and im trying not to judge her hard since shes not even an adult, she made some really stupid choices when it came to her love life. - Almost 2000 pages read and it was so anticlimactic that im kind of stunned. This series had sooo much potential. - It kind of would of made the series more interesting if Rose did succeed in killing Dimitri. Also if she later on also died because the explanation for the bond going away was cheap. What I liked about this series - That it finally ended....more
Hey, yeah so this is kind of crazy. So ur telling me they both fell in love in a span of a week while she was also pining for another guy. Bullshit. PuHey, yeah so this is kind of crazy. So ur telling me they both fell in love in a span of a week while she was also pining for another guy. Bullshit. Pushover fmc, doesnt know her own worth, too forgiving honestly i cant think of anything positive to say about her no self-respect. MMC was a lunatic even if he was drowning in grief. Sort of funny at times, in a cartoon sort of way meaning no one acts like that irl. He did however heavily prey on the fmc since shes a doormat and all. Did not like any of the characters in this book. Did not care for their "love story" either....more
Ughh I really wanted to like this book I just very strongly disliked the fmc. I love reading about headstrong fmc who dont let anyone push them over. Ughh I really wanted to like this book I just very strongly disliked the fmc. I love reading about headstrong fmc who dont let anyone push them over. However Meyer was a very rude character seemingly for no good reason. I could see a point in where shes scared Jackson would sell his half of the shares but since it was obvious her contempt to the mmc was to force a kind of enemies to lovers ordeal it just ruined the whole book and fmc to me. If the fmc was changed to a whole other personality this book could be a solid 3,5 however its a weak 2. I also chose to ignore that she called him "honey" it always just gives me the ick without fail....more

Anytime anyone is ever that invested in fixing their friend up while also being so nosy either has no life or their own relationship status is crumbling. They literally got together the last 15 pages and it was not even a slow burn since he was immediately in love with her. Boring. Bottom line: Dislike meddling friends. Insta love No slow-burn Closed door....more

As a houseguest who the hell drinks from the cartons and fights with one of the residents there? It's not cute its disrespectful, wheres the class? I'm going to skip their "love story" timeline because it was also childish and ridiculous. The way that man betrayed her was stone cold. The fmc says she wont ever forgive him and that she wont acknowledge him in public. Yet she does, she says that she will block him when he texts her, aaand she doesnt. As a 23 year old I honestly cant connect with her at all. If anything he acts 23 and she acts 12. Really didnt like this book. ...more

No, no nononono just no. I cant get past the fact that this girl has crushed on this man from her wholeee childhood years and to her adult years with no encouragement from him. She describes herself as plump and blends in everywhere. This is just a bit too pathetic for me to read, I dont care about her looks but pining for someone for what 30 years is just too much. There are some people who pity themselves to the point where you feel like one conversation with them drains all the energy from you. I picked up this vibe from her right away and id much rather keep my attitude than drain it....more
One conversation could have made this book alooooooooot shorter and less annoying. I feel like sometimes authors always seem to include a "mystery" orOne conversation could have made this book alooooooooot shorter and less annoying. I feel like sometimes authors always seem to include a "mystery" or some sort of issue the heroine has. They drop hints about it only to reveal the "mystery" at the very end. That part is really annoying and almost 90% always predictable....more

I thought she would be more cold or jaded based on her past and it kinda pissed me off that she was so meek? Girl couldnt keep herself from rambling and stuttering around him and even if she did have a crush on him ive yet to encounter a person actually fumbling for words like that. I didnt really care for the characters to be honest, all the thousands of different terms of endearments? it was just too sickly sweet. I need to read something very violent after this book to cleanse myself. Also whenever I see the word "honey" it makes me want to throw up....more

There were alot of things that couldve made this book better, this is however just my preference. Couldve been more of a slow burn, I didnt love the fact that he jumped her i like barely 24 hours. The love declaration at the very end? Come the fuck on. Also the plot twist was where? If I had to rate the plot twist alone on a scale from goosebumps to a heart attack it wouldnt even make it on the scale. Also she was so devoted to her mother yet was ashamed about her previous work and the scenes with the mom were so skimmed she had no real presence in the book....more
