Dark is an understatement. The book deals with some very intense themes. It was truly captivating the way the story unfolded. The mystery had me hooked and the spice was really crazy (trigger warnings are SUPER IMPORTANT here btw).

Our FMC was feisty, had a strong mind of her own and was truly warring with a complete 180 turn in her life as Zade enters the chat. This man is single-handedly insane, obsessed and weirdly cute all wrapped in a nice little package of hotness and sexiness all around. It’s safe to say I enjoyed this book A LOT. Some of the spice was very different to what I normally encounter but I believe it’s a matter of personal comfort and personal acceptance on what works and what doesn’t. It did for me ✨✨. Definitely, reading the trigger warnings, knowing that I don’t have to read this out of compulsion and that I can stop whenever, helped. If you are planning to read this, definitely consider if you’d be okay with the themes presented.

I am dying to find out what happens in the next book considering we have some big twists at the end of this one. Omw to downloading it now!!

I am absolutely speechless. I think this is the best thing I’ve ever read within romantasy so far. I have laughed and cried and felt and desired just as Nesta and Cassian did. It was such a beautiful story that even as a continuation of this grand story it held its own as simply being Nesta’s journey to find herself and heal and I’m absolutely floored by it. It’s healed me as it did Gwyn and Emerie. I was so emotionally taken by the bond these strong women shared with each other, their warrior spirits coming together as one. I can only imagine a bond this strong and I am inspired by it.

Don’t even get me started on this man. This man that has had me in a chokehold ever since I met him in the previous books. He lived up to everything I thought he would and more. In fact anything I say right now will be less. Cassian is a literal god and I mean it in every sense of the word.

I’m really just going to take a few days to recover because this book has shaken me from within and I both desperately need the next part to fill this void and also never move on from this book to live in it for longer. Either way 5 stars is too less. ♾️♾️♾️

ROCKYYYY ✨✨✨ And Grace!

Probably now my favorite alien-human duo of all time! I won’t lie, I saw the movie first, but honestly, I feel like it just made the experience of reading this all the more enjoyable! I was able to understand the science behind the story, the truth behind some of the hidden plot points, and experience the full wholesome-ness of the friendship Grace and Rocky had over this beautiful book ❤️❤️.

What I loved most, apart from the found family and all around best friend vibe between the two most lovable characters ever, was the optimism the story portrayed. The book doesn’t push the reader into a sense of doom and despair even though the problem is very much what an actual doomsday would look like. It shows what happens when everyone comes together and works for the survival of its people. And by everyone I mean everyone in an intergalactic sense lol. Which is so beyond my thinking it almost makes it amazing to read about.

I’m now an Andy Weir fan. A Project Hail Mary fan. And a Grace and Rocky fan.

Truly this book was just amaze, amaze, amaze 🫶🫶🫶✨✨✨.

The perfect interlude to the book that comes after and the ones that came before. It gave me the perfect refresher before I dive into a court of silver flames and sets up the story between Nesta, Cassian, Azriel, Mor, and everyone else.

While this was definitely a sweet and wholesome romance written in classic Liz Tomforde fashion, I still wasn’t able to connect with the main characters as much as I’d have liked. The progression felt a bit off and though the story had all the right elements and ofc my beloved Rhodes brothers, it still wasn’t able to hook me like the other books in the Windy City series. On the bright side, I do love that Emmett finally did get his own story here! I think that was definitely a fan moment delivered in style, just not sure if that worked for me the way I wanted it to.

I’m floating on what feels like clouds of cotton candy rn because I think I’ve just read one of the sweetest, cutest romances out there!!! Jackson’s anxious rambling and Delilah’s bumbling and bubbly personality have won me over.

It was a purely feel good, classic rom com style, cute and banter rendition of what it would feel like if a classic 90s rom com were converted into a book and I LOVE IT!! The magic in these books is truly making me fall in love with romance books once again ✨🩷✨🩷
