  • Who are your auto-buy authors?

    Is there anyone whose books you immediately pre-order before barely checking what they're about? For me it's: - Kristen Britain - Lucy Holland - Adrienne Young - Laini Taylor

    one thing i love is that while no one is explicitly gay, no one is explicitly straight in any of Olivie Blake's books, we are all 💅 together

    Read Original Review Here

    AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Hello my fellow bloggers,

    Please please please ignore my screaming a second ago, but I just cant help it. This book is just too good.

    I have not read a lot of self-published books. The lack of hype and marketing around them make it hard to be aware in my opinion. But there was an insane amount of TikTok hype for this book so I had to pick it up.

    And I am so glad I did.

    Neil’s story is such a good story. To intrigue you, there is the mafia, gay romance, and morally grey (like dark dark grey) characters. He is placed on an Exy (it’s basically lacrosse but whatever) team with these ragtag bunch of teens who act more like gang members than college sports athletes.

    It reads like a fanfiction but is full of OCs. The writing is a bit bland at times but it makes the story really easy to follow. With the writing, there is a certain lack of details but it is still a decent book. Some important details about characters are glanced over. A lot of actions are easily forgiven or the drama that ensues after them seems a bit dramatic.

    I have not read any of the other books, but I have seen fanart for the pairing in the books. If that pairing is canon, this is a SLOOOOOOOW burn enemies to lovers for Neil. So far I am just seeing a man way to overprotective about someone he seems not to care about. But that is what we love, am I right?

    It is kind of a triggering book and has a lot of drug abuse and violence in it. It does have dark undertones of the story. There are so many secrets to find out. The end leaves on a huge cliff hanger.

    Even with some of the negatives, it is still a really good book. It is kind of a nice side book to have when you feel bored reading your main book.

    I highly recommend people go check this out. When you are finished, go check out the fanarts for it too. They really are fantastic.

    As always, thanks for reading,

    A Bookie

    I really wanna keep reading this, but its just tacking sooo long to get anywhere. They are once again on an island, meeting people, and not getting closer to actually encountering the goddamn serpent... I feel like nothing is really happening
