    Bit disappointed with how this turns out; based from the beautiful cover art, I'd expect something horror, bone-shaking, spooky mixed with a bit sexiness inside. And after The Hacienda, I can't help but feel Isabela's about to strike again but unfortunately, it doesn't happened. gif

    This book has such potential; it has a strong beginning with an interesting plot and solid theme of freedom & control but after a while, it lost its sparks and fell flat all the way to the end. The characters, for me, doesn't really work well together, emotional and physical chemistry are basically non-exist; Elias & Alba's are supposed to have this electrical yet forbidden attraction but I don't feel it at all (they're just like two best friend hanging out on random Tuesday while trying to get rid of the evil as their mission). Also, the lack of footnotes or glossary is another loss point for me

    Why do I get the sense that the author doesn't have any ideas on how to build the emotional relationship between the characters? It's so painful to see how bland and flat Alba & Elias's let alone their interaction.

    I'm still trying to find the right vibes from this book; yes, it should be haunting, dark and ultimately horror but I haven't find it yet. Instead of it, I find everything pretty plain and stable.

    The fainting bride had died yesterday afternoon. Coffins began to appear soon thereafter, carried on slumped shoulders through the winding streets of the city.

    hmm my guts telling me the bride had something to do with that Bartholomew but I just can't prove it 🤔🤔

  • New Feature: Track your reading progress 🥳 (app update required) [10/10/25]

    Massive quality of life update coming your way!! We're dipping our toes into the stats waters with this one.. you can now update and track your progress on your current reads!

    Click the progress bar below your current read on your home page to update progress. You can edit your progress for the day until midnight, and a status update with your reading progress will be added to your feed and shared to your followers :) This status update is the perfect place to add a comment for more personal updates that will be shared only to your followers.

    Some notes on the nitty gritty:

    • An app update is required to see this on iOS/Android!! Please update your app version (especially if you're seeing a weird "unhandled resource_type" message in your feed)
    • only 1 update will be added to your feed per day per book when tracking progress (if you’re reading multiple books, one update for each book can be added to your feed). If you update your progress later in the day, the existing feed activity will be updated with the new progress.
    • We are now passing your local time to our servers, which means you can edit that day’s progress until midnight local time for you and your start/finish read dates will reflect your local time rather than server time

    We're working on home feed controls and updates to the Pagebound Club and Discuss tab next!

    Happy Reading, Jennifer & Lucy 💜💙
