    Keri did it again!!!! 100/10 book for me!! I read this in 4 days, it was so good! I usually don’t read contemporary fiction romance but this was dark and gothic, it was done so well! The world of Nocticadia felt like a tucked away world hidden from ours. It was such a good read and the SPICE WAS ON FIRE! It made me feel ✹things✹I recommend this book to you if you like a dark gothic romance which a superr broody man that eventually can’t get enough of you once you crack him.

    Wow, I read this book in 2 days. That ending was sickening. This is a very slow romance btw. There was lots of tension and yearning which was nice! But the ending though

    This was so FUN!! I’m so happy I gave enough of a fuxk to read about Ophelia’s sister in this duology. This book was hands down even better than Phantasma. The chemistry, the tension! I love Genevieve! Wow, a female lead that is funny, witty, feminine, brave, sassy and not insufferable!?! And ROWIN
..new book boyfriend. Yall need to read this book rn. Kaylie, you did that!!

    I lovedddd book 1 so much and book 2 came through!!! I do wish the ending was more fleshed out to give us more about the main couple— you’ll see what I mean when you read it. I do love the side couple; it was done beautifully. But our main couple deserved more chapters, just MORE after all the trauma.

    Read this as part of a book club. I usually never think about reading books with cartoon covers like this, especially for contemporary romance. For the sake of the club, I read it and it was entertaining. The male character was your broody older hunk, good amount of spice. Plot twists weren’t really twisting, I found them predictable. Lots of tennis talk but for someone who doesn’t follow the sport at all, it was fine. I won’t be reading the sequel!

    I am ashamed to say that I prematurely judged her books based on covers and never gave her a chance. I unknowingly picked this up not realizing this was her work! This is my first Ali Hazelwood book and I am hooked. I loved her writing! This was so fun and steamy. I can’t wait for book 2!!

    I read this book in less than a week, I DEVOURED it!!!! The writing was so beautiful and poetic. You can feel the hurt, the angst, and feel even love towards the monster inside her. Wow! Such a good read!!!

    This was a very enjoyable read. I did an immersive read following the audiobook, and oh my. Anthony Palmini did a magnificent job. Anyways, I felt that the female voice actress made the main character come across as very whiney 😣 it was hard to listen to her parts most times because it made Saeris sound very juvenile. The only reason why I stuck with the audio was because of Fisher. However!! I ended up loving Saeris towards the middle/end of the book a lot more. I think she finally got her character development! I know Quicksilver got mixed reviews, I’m curious to hear what you thought and perhaps Saeris comes across a lot differently when you skip the audio.

    I really enjoyed this book and the audiobook! The voice actress did a great job voicing Blackwell and multiple characters. The story was exciting and riveting. I think the ending was a little rushed, there were some things I think we needed closure on but it was still good. I am excited for book 2!

    Y’all
. This book right HERE. Is pure steam. Like, full throttle đŸŒ¶ïž. Pages, back to back, majority of the book and I ate it up đŸ™‚â€â†•ïžđŸ™‚â€â†•ïž we listen and we don’t judge: if you are into shape shifters and pupils that inhumanly dilate at the sight of the woman they’re in love with, then you must read this room đŸ€Ł it’s so good!!! But also let me just say that the plot was actually pretty good and serious for the amount of heat this book had. The indie title is Split or Swallow, but it’s now called Kiss of the Basilik since when got published đŸ„ł
