it was off to a really good start but omg that third act break up was horrible!!! like we forgive him for that??? you could have literally wrote anything else but that is what you decided to go with???

Josh was also very corny and I couldn’t take him seriously

i liked this one a lot more than the first one, the slow burn and pacing of this was more my taste and the plot was interesting and kept me intrigued! the spice was a little cringe but they were a very cute couple.

not bad, but just a little boring! dark romances are either a hit or miss (is this a dark romance?) but this one was palatable but omg was the third act break up so very silly….

this was pretty cute, usually I don’t like fake dating but I enjoyed it in this! I do think the author could have 100% aged up the characters, idk I feel like it could have worked better if they were adults!

This was a beautiful story about hope and loneliness, and even though it was a story about being stuck in a time loop it did not feel repetitive and it was actually really fun!

I loved the plot, the characters, the pacing was a steady rhythm and the writing was simple but good. It was definitely more of a self journey book than it was romance but you could argue that there is romance in that itself, so I have no complaints honestly! By the end I was emotional and I felt satisfied with how this story turned out.

it was cute the last couple chapters but overall I was pretty bored and the humor just didn’t hit for me, the romance was pretty lacking until the very end.

It truly isn't a CG Drews book if you aren't left staring at a wall after.

Scorpion Deep is absolutely terrifying, unnerving, and eerie, even when nothing horrifying is happening. CG Drews has a way with words that ends up wrapping around your throat and leaving you breathless by the end. This might even be their saddest book yet, it was devastatingly beautiful how they wrote these characters and brought them and this story to life.

I really enjoy CG Drews’ pacing, you get a steady build up of plot and characters that make you really care and sympathize with them by the end of the book. There was never a flat or boring moment and I really enjoyed this story so much! The way they captured the sea, the characters, and the unsettling moments was so intriguing and I was constantly thinking about it even when I was in a reading slump.

One of the major things I love about CG Drews' books is how they portray obsession with love and the complicated internal feelings the main character experiences while dealing with these complex relationships and I'm happy to say they did not miss with this book! Jonathan and Scorpion Deep have such a complex and harrowing relationship that by the end of the book I was in tears.

I highly HIGHLY recommend CG Drews Scorpion Deep (and any of their other books while youre at it!!), you will not be disappointed!!

this is exactly what i want from dark romances, it had a good balance between humor and dark themes! I did get a little bored about half way through, and the dialogue/writing was kind of corny at times but it was a very fun read and the characters were really likable! I enjoyed that the m/f dynamic was balanced unlike other dark romances where there is an obvious power dynamic at play and it didn’t include the common dark romance themes that make me uncomfortable!

honestly don’t have anything to say about this, just didn’t like it
