I Forgot How Much There Was I Got Frustrated By In Iron Flame, Like Varrish Who Fills Me With Rage In
I forgot how much there was I got frustrated by in Iron Flame, like Varrish who fills me with rage in every scene he is in and Jack fucking Barlow.
I also do get fed up with both Violet and Xaden with their communication issues, but I try to remind myself of how young they are and that helps. Although Violet is the one who annoys me the most with all the hypocrisy and the full disclosure bullshit.
I think it bothers me the most because she has grown up in a military environment so she should know that some things aren’t for everyone to know. She is fine with Mira telling her “you can’t know that, it’s classified”, but it’s not fine when it’s Xaden, like because she’s in love with him she should get to know things that aren’t his to tell?
He also has a bunch of things that he could have told her, but he has his whole you have to ask thing going on which is also annoying.
It’s kinda hard for them to know how to be in a relationship with healthy communication though cause they don’t exactly have a lot of great examples around them😅
Still love this book though and I’m beyond excited for the release of Onyx Storm next week!

The Villains Beast by Kate Hawthorne
Had a great time with this one. The spice was spicing, the angst was angsting. This is a bit of a dark read, definitely check the trigger/content warnings before you read, but I really enjoyed it and I didn’t want it to end. I wanted more time with alle the characters. I loved how their relationships developed and the different dynamics they all have with each other.
Have you read this one yet?

Just finished Meetings That Start In The Dark by writingamarie on ao3 and now I don’t know what to do with my life😭
Home before dark by Riley Sager
So I just finished this and it was so good! It was my first thriller. I’ve been wanting to branch out and try new genres and I’m glad I liked it.
I thought I knew where things were heading so many times only to be thrown for a loop.
The ending was enough of a surprise that it was enjoyable even though I guessed some of it before the end. I like that though, it was done in a way where it was satisfying to see the crumbs about the truth throughout. I’m of the opinion that a plot twist is more satisfying when there is clear foreshadowing especially when you look back and it can still come as a shock when you get to it.
Have any of you read it? Thoughts?
Also, what are some good thriller or mystery books I should check out next?
Fourth Wing and Iron Flame was definitely the highlight of the month for me, with parts of us a close second.

Book Rec - The Renegades Series by Cara Dee
The renegade series by Cara Dee
I just read through the whole series in like three days. I couldn’t put them down. Cara has a way of making me care deeply about her characters. They’re become so real to me.
If you love a good steamy M/M romance with a good dose of action on the side, this series is for you.
All the feels. All the excitement. All the love.
I’m obsesses with her BDSM series which was how I was introduced to her writing and I’m now branching out to her other books. I want to read them all. Everything I’ve read from her so far has been great.
Have you read this series yet?
Have you read other books from Cara Dee? If you have which is your favorite?

I just plowed through the first two books in this series and am just staring this third one. I’m obsessed!
Every writer is different. Every writer creates as they wish. If everyone wrote the same way or made the same artistic choices, then we would have nothing but copy paste stories that don't shine with the vibrant colors of their authors.
What I'm trying to say is that trying to police a writer into adhering to some standard you have set in your head is like trying to stop the flow of coursing water.
It goes where it wants to go and water will erode any stone or metal, even if it takes a long time.
Writing is as much an art as painting and music and all the other art forms in which we so openly accept innovation.
Let writers create the way they feel is best. If their style does not appeal to you, move on. Find someone whose style does and pay them the compliment of your kind words instead of lashing out to those who don't fit your mold.
Every time Violet says full disclosure I get so angry😂
Me finishing the acotar series (the books that have come out anyway) and going to check out what theories people have and maybe have some fun discussions only to be horrified by some of the things people are saying on there. People literally getting death threats for having a different opinion like shipping someone with someone else than they do😬
(I know there are sane people in this fandom too, but I’m a little scared)
I’m in the trenches with sick kiddos. We’re going on two weeks and it turned out they have strep throat. Not been able to read too much cause I’ve been in caretaker mode, but they’re on antibiotics now so fingers crossed for a speedy recovery now!
