Halfway Through The Hawthorn Legacy Spoilers!!!

So I just finished Inheritance Games.

Yall Avery is definitely better than me bc if I just inhereted a mansion a couple billion dollars and a football team I truly would NAWT give a damn about solving the mystery. Also even though the DNA test came back clear it feels like the story is setting her up to be somehow related to the Hawthornes and idk how I feel about that. Only bc i think it would make the dynamic with her and Jameson weird in my own opinion. I also feel like it would make it more weird seeing as Nash and Libby are probably endgame. It's giving "What are you doing bro-in-law." Also again Avery is better than me bc i would have evicted all of em the moment Jameson showed up in my rooma t night through the fireplace like girl W H A T. I Would had that whole place locked tf down after that. It is revealed that the boy's mom let Drake into the house was kind of a given tbh, so I knew it wasn't Libby or the brothers, and I didn't think the staff cared as long as they got paid so it was DEFINATLY one of the sisters. And Zara looked like the easy pick bc shes kinda rough around the edgeds but a general rule of thumb especially in a who done it situation is always going to be the softer or more "innocent" one. I'm kind of disappointed Thea didn't play a bigger role in this story likeeeeeee I want more of the highshcool queen mother Yanno. Idk I just feel like given enough chances she'd eat. Overall I liked the book I already have the whole series so I'm starting book 2 today.

Some penguin classic covers I made of some of my favorite books.

Hooked by Emily Mcintire Review

Yall.

This book is 80% porn, 10% murder and 10% plot.

I gave it a solid 1.5 out of five in my personal ratings, mostly because this book moves soooo quickly like the pacing is insane. The plot was...idk been there done I've seen it before. I don't think this is a bad book by any means even though my rating is low ( trust me there are books id given up on within the first few chapters) but it's just not my personal cup of tea. But here we goooo.

So boom we have our main girlie Wendy Michaels, everyone average rich girl whos described in the book many times as average. Sigh when is the book community gonna let go of the "Lets make her average so she stands out from all the drop-dead gorgeous model blondes and have the love interest fall in love with her so she knows she's special too!" trope. I don't hate it is just too common now it seems like every book has a 100/10 guy fall in love with a 5/10 girl, which kuddos to her ngl, i just wish wed switch it up a bit. Anyway I don't hate or like Wendy, in fact, the book moved soooo quickly I really didn't have any time to develop any sort of feelings for her at all. Her love for her brother is admirable I'll give her that but other than that I legit don't have anything good or bad to say about girliepop. I will say she should have called out her dad for spending time with that lady on her bday that pissed me off.

Next is James Barrie, our love interest of the story. Filled to the brim with PTSD and murderous cravings this man is what we call tall dark and handsome. He first saw Wendy and was like "lol smash," but things quickly turned when he realized she was the daughter of his rival, they were in the business of murder and drugs. While they never outright say this is a gang, for all intents and purposes, this is a gang. James also has this notorious nickname "Hook" and they allude to him getting the name because he used his hook to kill people, and yet for some reason he only used it once and it was on some rando who called Wendy a bitch. Like come onnnnnnnnnn. Hook is such a cool name for someone who's a villain and out of allllll the scenes we get of him harming people he only uses the hook in one. SHAME. I did like the dynamic between him and the guy who took care of hi it was typical, "I raised you and imma show gratitude loke a gruff old man." and the hook was,"I'm grateful but I refuse to show it cuz that makes me weak." and that's the most vulnerability we get out of him other than when the man died.

Now onto Wendy and James as a couple.....psyche ward, jail, prison, SOMETHING. Now to give Wendy credit I too would swoon if a sexy rich man who could get me whatever I wanted took me on a private yacht for dinner, I'm with you there. But everything that happened after RED FLAG RUN RUN RUN. First of all, AND DONT JUMP ME FOR THIS, the sex scenes were mid. To be completely honest I've read better smut here on Tumblr and on Wattpad, YALL HAVE TOO DONT LIE. And the way it was written was so weird like girl he put what WHERE. Idk the smut didn't do it for me at all. And on top of that yall had sex twice and like two days later he kidnaps you bc he thought you betrayed him bc he somehow got in his mind that you and ur daddy was plotting. MIND YOU Wendy didn't even know he knew her dad. And I understand she was mad at her dad but staying with Hook after that was insane like girl FUCK BOTH OF THEM. Take your daddy's riches and move somewhere. Not only that her dad was gonna shoot Hook, which would have taken care of one of her issues, but she shot her dad to save Hook?????? You've known this man for 3 weeks max, I get ur dad pissed you off but it's hella hypocritical to be like," Dad you sell drugs and kill people how dare you!" then dead ass marry the guy who does the same exact thing. Wendy girl, BE FAWKIN fr.

And lastly adding the twist that her brother Jonathan is James half brother and HER half-brother makes it so weird. Like I get that SHE personally doesn't share blood with Hook. But ur half-brother's half-brother is now your husband......YALL DONT THINK THATS WEIRD??? Mind you this is coming from someone who heavily watches Game of Thrones and house of Dragons so I shouldn't be weirded out by it right???? But idk I feel like it's a shitty copout as to why her dad treated Jonathan like shit like if you hate him that bad idk kill him???? or sell him???? idk there were other ways to do this.

All in all this book wasnt it for meeeeee

idk what the next book I'll review is but ill let yall know byeeee!

The fact that Feyre had to talk Rhysand down from KILLING Nesta..

Goes to show how he can't regulate his fucking emotions as a 500yo.

Yet you're all still pissed at Tamlin because he couldn't control his??

Is the double standard in the room with us?

Cassian meant it when he said everyone fucking hates her. That didn’t just pop into his head in the heat of the moment. When he said he felt shackled to her. When he took her on a hike until she passed out. Every single time he used her for sex. Every single time he defended Rhys when nesta needed his support. Every single time he waxed poetic about the good qualities he sees in Mor and Feyre and bemoaned the terrible qualities he sees in nesta. Every single day nesta was locked in that house, he hated her. Laughed at her struggling. Starved her of every good thing she’d ever said she wanted. He hated her through it all.

This was a book written by a woman, against women. The dichotomy between good and bad is irrelevant— sjm only cares about the difference between women who obey men and women who need to be punished for disobedience. She promotes themes of SA, violence against women, and general brutality that uses women’s trauma as plot devices (primarily to promote male ‘heroism’).

Update. Fine shyt is now my man YES GAWD!!!

The semester just started and straight out the gate, my professors are insane. But I finally graduated so I am excited for that but I don't imagine ill get a lot of writing or reviews done in the meantime. While insane one of my professors is really cool so ill look forward to that class and I also joined a creative writing club. There's a fine shyt in there yall I GOT MOTIVATION NOW.
