Emma Griffioen i feel this! the hype always gets me too


Rachael 🥀 While I enjoyed this book, it wasn’t anything special. I also don’t think it needed a cliffhanger and get drawn out for another book, much less 3 books.

Rachael 🥀 Yup there sure is. I, however, won’t continue the journey.

Nina Has anyone actually read this yet? I want an honest review.


୨୧ Beata ୨୧ Not me clicking “want to read” after seeing your 2🌟 because of the exact same reason💀

I read it today, I rate it 2 ⭐️ but felt too lazy to write a review 🤭. That sometimes happens with my reviews but I'll give you a summary.

I've read worse booktok books. This was fine. The first 20% was entertaining but the 80%? Well... think of all the random ideas or tropes booktok girlies have ever been hyped about: grumpy boss, sunshine fmc, a dragon, calling fmc love, mixing of poisons along with some mystery, hello-brother moment, it has always been her, who did this to you, woah it was a family betrayal all along, etc they are all thrown into this book.

It's not bad, I just think the book didn't have a mind of its own so to speak. It was fine and I could have lived without reading it. It also had some pretty awkward jokes. 🤭

haha can't say I've never done that before 🤭 happy reading hun 💗

I'm not curious enough to find out what happens to Trystan either 🤷🏽‍♀️

me too 😭 it just has to be done 😩😩


benedicta Ava L. wrote: "Just commenting to say thank you for not totally trashing the book. I really enjoyed the book. It was a cozy soft little read. Goodreads reviewers have been hating in this book and it’s making me so upset. It’s totally ok not to like a book and voice those opinions but people are just being mean. They think they’re funny and they’re not. I’m grateful for your honesty but not pure hatred :)

ok

Brie Literally the FOMO is my reason for reading and y’a… same. ⭐️⭐️… i don’t know why I keep trying booktok recs, anything that gets this much hype seems to disappoint me.
