Pagebound recommended me this book, thank god I did not see the original cover pages as I do judge a book by its cover. Really enjoyed this.

Pacing was very bad, like no slow burn and the ending confirmed that 🩷

I think when you view books as intellectual property rather than storytelling you lose the element of freedom. I enjoyed psycho shifters a year or two ago and I saw the discourse of the way Jasmine Mas writes, I began to believe that if I read this book now I’d enjoy it less, but I did not. I find the internal dialogue entertaining when the scenes seems to be tiring due to their mundane nature (mental battles of studying). The rapid sentences also provided the storyline with rhythm as we weren’t jumping from one scene to the next choppily paced, but we seamlessly walked through the scenes.

I loved these books years ago so decided to revisit them. I didn’t enjoy this book, it was story telling without the emotional emphasis. Like a close proximity and an un forbidden romance should have yearning and guilt which it lacked so much. I wasn’t even anxious about what was going to happen when the best friend found out like I didn’t end up caring. The reason for the ‘now’ trip did not warrant any of the behaviour the bff had towards the fmc

In loveeeee.

Literally no slow burn, yearning or tension.

I ate this up! I prefer this much more than the second one, I love forced proximity! The miscommunication wasn’t bad at all!

What the actual fuck. Like I’ve been sickened by the stress of this book! I never doubted that she was going to attempt to kill him, which had me soooooo stressed. I really enjoyed the writing plot and characters like there are no flaws besides I found the first half of the book was tedious, but not even in a bad way.

I love a post apocalyptic world, Claire is the only author I trust to read when I need this scratch to itch. I loved last light, this book was more insta-love which I’m not a fan of but I enjoyed the action and pacing towards the end of the book.

Enjoyed this, but definitely wasn’t as good as the first book. I believe it was a filler to create more storylines for future books. Let’s hope

World building was very digestible, like easy to understand, everything new was explained within a paragraph or two so the story line was 95% of the two main characters. I was a bit unimpressed at first that the aliens looked like humans but it makes a lot of sense to the story line and fits an appeal

Booooo! Thought I would like this more. The reason I like monster romance is because we avoid the bad things about humanity! Booo misogyny!
