I craved a seriously intense mind reset after the last book, and Knot So Lucky by Trilina Pucci hit the spot perfectly. Once again, @tierney.reads nailed it with her recommendation. This rom-com is dripping with enough smut to make your heart race. Seriously, the playful banter between Eleanor and Crew had me in stitches. And the tweedles? What more can I say? It’s an absolutely delectable read that leaves you wanting more.
Never have I wished for a story to conclude as fervently as I did with A Curse Curved in Bone by Danielle L. Jensen. At times, it felt like pure torture reading it, yet my determination to finish was unshakeable. I fully understood what I was diving into; several friends had forewarned me, but curiosity compelled me to experience it for myself. I awarded it 3 stars for its exquisite writing, the captivating world-building, and that plot twist that blindsided me—I genuinely believed it held the potential for a 5-star rating. But then there was Freya. Ugh! She drained every last drop of enjoyment from the narrative. It wasn’t until the final 20 to 25 percent that she finally redeemed herself, but by then, trust was a distant memory. Hadn’t she led me astray before? If I had the chance to go back, would I willingly embark on this series again? Absolutely! It was worth every moment of anguish. And before anyone criticizes me, let me clarify: I adore strong female characters; it was just her pettiness, rudeness, hatred, righteousness, and condescending attitude that felt like relentless overkill.
Let me start by express that this is a remarkable book! Danielle L. Jensen is undeniably one of my all-time favorite authors. The world-building is exquisite, with captivating Nordic elements that truly transport you. Yet, the main female character utterly drained my enjoyment of the entire story. I’m accustomed to encountering unlikable characters, often villains that add complexity, but I’ve never experienced such disdain for a protagonist. Her negativity, hatred, rudeness, and condescension were overwhelming—where’s the spark of positivity? It’s heartbreaking that she overshadowed the book, especially since my hopes were soaring to love it. The only thing keeping me from abandoning the series is Bjorn and my lingering hope that Freya will somehow redeem herself. Here’s to wishing for that redemption!
I couldn’t resist the urge to dive into this series and rate it after experiencing its brilliance! First and foremost, how have I only just discovered this gem? Someone has been keeping this treasure from me! Sadie Kincaid is nothing short of a literary mastermind. The Broken Bloodlines Series is an exquisite tapestry of storytelling. Set in an enthralling academic backdrop, it weaves together the enchanting realms of witches, werewolves, vampires, and yes, even dragons! It’s a reverse harem narrative where the main male characters shower the female lead with kindness right from the start. Expect a whirlwind of love, passion, and heart-pounding adventure, capped off with a mind-blowing plot twist that will leave you gasping! The emotional rollercoaster, particularly in the gripping third book, Bound in Blood, is utterly captivating. While reading the short prequel, Born in Blood, isn’t essential, I indulged in it at the end and treasured the glimpse it gave into Axl’s backstory. I wholeheartedly recommend this series!
