We got a lot to see Ellie's charm and her skillful psychology deduction (owh owh, and her playful manner aa). Despite having red flag hero, Kresley empowers the heroine by shoving off facts that some things are unforgivable easily. This book is truly a roller coaster ride! (Chapter 51 hits home too hard!!)

Ceritanya ringan dan menghibur. Kekoplakan Jen dan tim jancok (iya, beneran jancok namanya) gak bisa dimanuk akal. Karisma Dikta yang memikat dan berlawanan dengan Jen bikin novel ini makin gemes. Vibe nya juga kebetulan berbarengan ketika Jen malu-malu memanggil dosen Dikta ini menjadi "mas", celetukan hati nya serupa saat aku juga mau manggil satu orang tertentu dengan sebutan mas.
Di awal-awal ketika forced proximity terjadi, mungkin kesannya kaya lebai ala-ala sinetron, dan perlu kita tahu ternyata duo karakter kita berpikir demikian. (view spoiler)[tapi ternyata emang sengaja dibuat lebay oleh orang tua tokoh utamanya, sih, ya jadi bisa diwajarkan (hide spoiler)]. Menurutku novel ini ringan karena masalah personal yang melibatkan orang lain gak terluntang-luntung, bisa selesai dengan cukup damai (asal Jen nya diiket dulu di kursi dan diplester mulutnya #plak). Dan gak kalah menarik, ada beberapa curahan hati tentang cinta sepihak karena beda server. ...more

This book is one of many suggested by a website that may be a good companion for broken heart. but LOL who knows I'm gone too far. It's just confusing, how can someone be so wise—thoughtful and philosophical inner dialog— but also bizzare and messed up inside. A chaotic Neutral.
Now it's the real "the prey and the hunter". Lucia the Huntress had made a vow to the godness of Skathi for the well-known of theTW: Gore/bloody scenes
Now it's the real "the prey and the hunter". Lucia the Huntress had made a vow to the godness of Skathi for the well-known of their archer skill. In exchange, she had to go under celibacy, experience inexplicable amount of pain when she miss the target, and had to defeat The broken Bloody One aka diabolic evil once in 500 years. But damn the cultist, people can't exterminate the unyielding rituals. She can't let a riveting Lykae to get on her way, no matter how alluring the jest and flirt he throws.
The story shows the importance of sharing burdens, even if that person holds an immense power and looks like capable of anything. And be careful with what you wish— Sometimes you wish for more that makes you patronize things.
------------------------------------ Lucia looked kudere/tsundere type while ya boi Garreth keept his stance. Many times their conversation sent me with shrieks. Interesting that Garreth didn't throw off his alpha side to Lucia much, while maintaining his pace by treating her with disarming and witty compassion. I love how it got turned off the table, making it clear that He won't play nice anymore pf. it gets to its downside, a jilt that no Lykae would do to their mate. it hurts badly...
Anyway I can't be more infatuated than to see Mari & Bowen expansion here. Lol, eventually Bowen insinuated how Mari works pf. The ending let us pried on the biggest event— Who dare to outwin Lothaire, the enemy of old?!...more

What's more mortifying than having no one to trust you. Being seen as ill-mannered girl in the school might be a mundane day for Juniper. The only remarkable thing in her city is a living-underneath God granted a mercy for miners and the alluring forest call. But she couldn't fathom anyone going to any length to sacrifice her for a God. A damned cult had done it, most people she knew had done it to her. They throw her seemingly as a lamb, yet they just put a little wolf that will bare her teeth.
You can't be seen as sane anymore after seeing a lot of things, as selling her soul to a devil won't make changes.
"Give a human knowledege, and he thinks he's wise. Give a human magic, and he thinks he's strong. Give human religion, and he'll think he's right"
The details of the terror and the wild adventure were seamlessly breathtaking! I'm not fans of profanity and moral degeneration, so to speak. Or I might shook off inwardly how ludicrous a cult. BUT this... wow... the writing style sent a sheer of trepidation. The moral degeneration is intended to let the readers immerse into the intensity. Tho, It's still pang of pain in FMC revelation, that gradually she feels broken going throughout this irreversible fate.
"I don't think you need to be fixed, Juniper. I think you need to catch your light"-Zane
What intrigued me was that the story doesn't put simply "offer a soul in exchange for annihilate all things, mission completed". (view spoiler)[My favorite scene was during Juniper's nostalgia of her brother and the fight in the yard. The first encounter of the red lurking diety. And when Zane recognized his feelings and cared for Juniper, out of his responsibility. (hide spoiler)] Also, not gonna lie. With such content warning, the intercourses and the foreplays were...mindblowing. (view spoiler)[I got speechless when they did it beneath a Kent's death, it's literally immoral. but given the writing and her motive, it's... hell, I couldn't rebuke (view spoiler)[some things left bitter on me. The time Juniper and Zane slaughtered Kent, Both of them indulge in night club. Like, ey. I thought they'd act fast according to plan, but oh well here another debauchery. and the worst was the final fight, I thought they had the witch Everlyn and strongest-build demon Callum to handle the God. They're nowhere in the rest of story. I wished the upcoming novel will explain their whereabouts, as written in the promising blurb. (hide spoiler)]
When enough people tell you you're crazy, you begin to question your own mind. You pick apart your memories, bit by bit, unraveling them until they're disjointed and stained, rearangged, every second doubted Survival is messy. Survival has no morals or kindness. Survival isn't black or white, good versus evil. Survival is shades of red; it's blood taken and blood lost
She was brave as hell, but bravery didn't mean she wasn't afraid(hide spoiler)]...more

But to me, there are still realistic setting where Kate (Sophie's bestfriend) deemed her to get professional. While it's also Sophie's choice alone to decide. As it's not easy to disclose and throw back those painful memories.
Nevertheless, living alone in state of panic attack also a bit unsettling. it would do good if Sophie lived in a villa, and had her far relative lived nearby (tho they didn't visit her frequently). Plus Sophie's house near the forest. ---------------------------------- I love how the story flowed, to where Sophie enacted her boundaries but also notice her love growing. This book also brought more curiosity, of how having an intercourse with a shadow figure. Also the author could deliver the nonverbal of abuse signs, especially when (view spoiler)[Cruce looked as if mad and Sophie raised both of her arms. As form of defend (hide spoiler)]...more

I can't take my eyes off from the center piece Arkon had asked since the first series. You'll see here, even you're surrounded by supportive family, warm environment, you can still feel loneliness. still, it is intriguing that the author is not solely focused on happy-ever-after love. This is how to tell Macy and Aymee apart. (view spoiler)[Bearing commitment in first sight as to share your life with (hide spoiler)]
The MOST engrossing, heart-stopping scene was (view spoiler)[the logs of the Captain, left alone by hope, haunted with paranoia, and end his life to end his duty off. (hide spoiler)]
To me, there are some conflict management I noted. When you're given 'freedom' yet feel constrained. "you have the choice, Arkon. But do not let your desires cloud your judgement". How the potential growth zone comes from taking a risk, thus refining our methods to advance.
(anyway it's hilarious and sweet the moment Arkon bit his claws. He's really a gentleman!) ...more
