i like to rate books based on how much i enjoyed them.. in which case, this book would be a 1 star. like i literally had to push my way through this shit. BUTTTTTTT the writing was good and the author can clearly write a solid story. i just ~personally~ wanted to pluck my eyes out with a toothpick the entire time.
so i changed my rating to 3 stars because the book is like good quality, i just hated it. it's a shame that i can't just use my goodreads as my own lil personal diary because personal ratings do, in fact, affect the overall rating of the book. rip.
anywaysss.... the MMCs were so mf ugly. like long curly ginger hair?? short purple hair?? claws? nipple piercings?!!!!!!!!!!!!! they were such uggos. and the FMC wasn't the most likable (which is the point i suppose since its a scrooge retelling).
and what the actual fuck was the setting/time period??! like the speech was relatively modern but there were swords and kings and queens.. it was just confusing for my tiny brain. also, she uses a stone dildo LIKE HELLO?????

you guys are liars!!! i feel betrayed!!! everyone was raving about this book, saying that if you like masked men and bikers, read it! well guess what bitches, i love masked men AND bikers, so what now?
Are we arguing or flirting?
the writing wasn't doing it for me. it felt more like a draft than a polished novella. it was still a bit of fun. however, miss cherry deserves jail time for writing biker dude as having long enough hair that Violet saw it peek out of his helmet, just to have him shave it a day later. WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ABOUT?!?!
anyways, it was cute and somewhat fun, just not up to par with what i was expecting. IT DID HAVE ARTWORK THO!!!! I LOVE THAT! i wish more author's would put artwork of the scenes in the book ...more
i cannot for the life of me figure out why i keep stumbling upon highly rated dark romance books that actually blow asMAVE DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER WTF
i cannot for the life of me figure out why i keep stumbling upon highly rated dark romance books that actually blow ass????!!??! like what is everyone on? how does this have that many 5 star reviews?????? like i know we all have our own taste, but the fucking dialogue................................
the premise is fine. cool. dandy. no real issues other than it was boring. but the way these characters spoke was straight out of a 14 year olds wattpad fic. how is everyone just over looking that?? genuinely, even the other things i have a problem with i understand is a preference, like how these characters were obsessed with each other at first sight. like she straight up was like he's gonna get me killed because he's so crazy and im here for it (they knew each other for less than 24 hours at this point) This man is going to get me brutally killed one of these days, and honestly, I can’t wait to meet my end, especially because I know he’ll be there with me – making me yearn for him, even in death.. but so much of what was said was cringey and took me out of it. like why are these badass killers talking so goofy???
QUIT TRICKING ME INTO READING BAD BOOKS! IM ON MY LAST STRAW!!!
some of the bad lines:
And, as embarrassed as I am to admit it, he also helped me take a dump and a few pisses throughout the day.
I’ve still got a boner as hard as a fucking brick from the brief cheese-talk Cignette and I just had.
“Or what, fuck-face?” Mave challenges. Within seconds, the crew is on their feet. “The fuck did you call him?” Jayce says
Me: I’ve got two words for ya: shut up.
“We’ve been assigned 3 kills,” he announces. “Maybe Jayce’ll have a little mercy on me when he hears that.” Fuck yeah. I match his grin. “You just gave my boner a fucking boost, man,” I say.
“And bathrooms can’t be pristine because…?” He scoffs. “I don’t know; maybe because all you do in there is shit and piss.” He clicks his tongue. “I mean, an occasional quickie too, if you’re feelin’ like it, but that doesn’t mean your bathroom needs to look like a fucking dollhouse or something.”
“Punch him in the dick, babe!” Alex calls out to Jayce, which makes him chuckle. “Choke on your damn protein bar, Alex,” I say to him. “With pleasure,” he chimes, then pretends to deep-throat his half-eaten protein bar. ...more

i loved Effy! don’t get me wrong, Preston was cute, but Effy was amazing! I always really like Ava Reid’s fmcs. I just loved everything about Effy’s character development and how she dealt with her trauma. i find that sometimes fmcs can be too whiney and childish, so even though Effy often second guessed herself and cried, she didn’t come across as being naive or petulant. she had such a shitty mother who made her feel insane and unwanted. and then everyone at school made her feel alienated and called her a whore for the abuse Master Corbenic inflicted on her. the way her mother and peers treated her made me see red. Effy, my sweet, deserved so much better.
That was why something might become a ghost— its life had meant so little, no one had even mourned it.
spoiler! one thing i did not like was how preston treated effy when they first kissed. he acted like they couldn’t hook up because she was assaulted by Master Corberic… that she was damaged goods and needed to be cared for differently. “And if you were just some girl, at some party, I would. But I know you. I know what’s been done to you—” and im not saying she wasn’t traumatized–it was made clear that she was–but he was acting like she couldn’t make her own decision on this. that because she was taken advantage of, she could no longer have sex??? that it had to be more meaningful if she did. “Then why won’t you . . . ?” “I didn’t mean it like that at all, that you were some fallen woman and I— never mind. But I won’t be another man who uses you. I don’t want you to think of me that way, just a shag on a chaise. I don’t want to be something else that keeps you from sleeping at night.” am i just crazy or is his reasoning icky even though i know he was trying to do the right thing and be more gentle with her because of her past. but like he didn't even ask her, he just straight up told her how she felt... idk...more
to everyone who rated this 5 stars, just checking in.. are you guys good? are you doing okay??
reasons why this is a 2 star book
- boring characters - pto everyone who rated this 5 stars, just checking in.. are you guys good? are you doing okay??
reasons why this is a 2 star book
- boring characters - pseudo introspection - stupid romance that just dragged on throughout the whole book. like either get together or don't already??? im beginning to not even care - ellen degeneres... - boring ass plot - unrealistic relationships... like lemme know why he was obsessed with her and willing to change his whole life mantra for her after only speaking for a few minutes? she was not that interesting - the fucking names?! Lily Bloom?!?? RYLE Kincaid?! ATLAS? WHAT ARE THESE NAMES - lame ass smut scenes lol - atlas wanting to fuck lily but waiting until she was 16 (he was 18-19)... like just because you waited for her to be the age of consent doesn't make it any less icky
anyway, the only reason i read this was so i could cite my sources next time i decide to shit on coho's books (-: just trying to be authentic...more

this book was a fun lil read, but dear fucking god almighty, these two characters were really testing my patience. i personally like the miscommunication trope, but this went a lil too far. all they had to do was talk to each other... but time and time again they were both reading situations wrong (AND I MEAN TIME AND TIME AGAIN!! LIKE 6 DIFFERENT TIMES???). drove me up a fucking wall. but im a sucker for innocent sweet girl x grumpy over protective man... ...more

GRR. THIS BOOK WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SO GOOD! LIKE I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU!!! the brother’s best friend trope is to DIE for. especially because there was an age gap. but when Brooks finally tells George that he is dating his sister, George is like, “haha damn, you got some balls doing that. i don’t like it, but whatever.” IM SORRY??? the way he barely reacted pissed me off. genuinely made me mad. AND the fact that the reveal came about because Brooks and George ran into each other at Walgreens while Brooks was picking up PLAN B!?? AND GEORGE WAS LIKE “WHO'S THE LUCKY LADY LOL?” YOUR SISTER!! YOUR FUCKING SISTER, GEORGE! HAVE A LITTLE DECENCY AND PUNCH THE GUY?! LIKE WHY IS HE NOT BOTHERED???
oh, and there were 67 uses of the word y’all, so naturally, i had to knock it a star.
Sweetheart, I’m trying to hold back here. You’re killing me. MY FAVORITE SHIT RIGHT HERE!
And then she asked me to kiss her, and next thing I knew, she was coming on my dick. my favorite thing is that the author’s profile makes her look like a politician, but then she’s writing shit like this. queen behavior <3...more
