(bold italics in brackets is me commenting on my old review):
(so i reread this book and it has some issuessss bro... why was my child self fully obsessed with it... anyway...)
This is chock full of angsty romance (a lil too angsty to be honest. sometimes that male lead gotta back it up and cool his jets.) , paranormal beings, death, bargains, pride and tricks. One of my favourite Kelley Armstrong books and one that I'll treasure forever! (not so sure about that treasuring forever stuff but hmm alright.)
(the rest of this review will be newly written by me.)
look. i can see why my 15yo self was obsessed with this book. it's got some very overprotective male vibes, and some like alright smut, and the characters are pretty cool. but there are also some iffy bits... some CNC type stuff which is meh, some special snowflake syndrome, you get it. so i'm not sure what to rate this. might lower it to 4 stars and ponder for a while.
honestly, this book is really addictive and plenty entertaining, and i had a lot of fun while reading it - really, i could barely put it down. but it's also just trashy. so i guess read it if you're looking for some good old pnr trash!

I'm reading this now! It's certainly well-written and, though it's early days, I'm hopeful that it's going to be a great story for me.

Thank you :) Do you only buy books you really loved reading? I ask because that's my new thing this year and it's working out really well for me.

i mean not all the time, i buy a lot of cheap books that i haven't read, but yeah i try to usually only buy the physical books that i love! i buy a lot of kindle books i haven't read though, just because they're cheaper ahah. glad your book-buying system is working well for you!!
Darce wrote: "i buy a lot of kindle books"Oh my gosh Darce, Kindle books are dangerous!! :P I have quite a collection of free cosies from Amazon. I've put my foot down with those a bit now, too. I am trying to be more discerning because there is a big variety in quality when it comes to cosies.
