I stay wanting to put hands on the FMC. She's stupid, selfish, annoying, ignorant, and doesn't deserve to find love. I HATE miscommunication tropes, but with her I'm not sure if that even applies because this chick doesn't even want to talk to her man.

The one she should have run up on, the one who I would have laid into she had too much "self-respect" to confront. But the man she should be putting her trust into and communicating with she ran away from then has the fking nerve to get in his face and put hands on him when he tries to talk to her. Nah, girl bye.

I agree with your pity party, it is you, and you should just stay single until you find some act right.
Thank GLOB for the supporting characters or I would have DNF'd this bitch so fast.

I also didn't like how narrow minded and unreasonable the FMC was when faced with adversity. Was it sweet that the MC did what he did to get her back?? YES. BUT he should not have had to do all that. 

 

YESSSS!!! 1000X YES!

This story had so much complexity and depth. I instantly fell in love with our MCs and was rooting for them both individually and as a couple.

The cover is an actual scene in this book which is insane because how does one make such a scene come to life?

Assist is the third book in the Sires series. While it can be read as a stand-alone (which I did) the characters are all so interesting that you will want to go back and read the other books. I feel like it would have elevated my experience and was informed ALL the characters are introduced in book one.

Rapper Girlie and Hockey Boy. It was giving ASAP Rocky & Rhianna, Simone & Jonathan Owens, and unfortunately Diddy/R. Kelly vibes.

Make sure you have tissues and a punching bag handy when you read this.

Oh, and the dick is good and plentiful, trust there is NO shortage, and you will be satisfied with that.

 

 I loved the folklore, history, and imagery. I very much disliked the FMC. She was a Latina Karen, and I was waiting for her demise the entirety of the book. 

 I struggled with this one. Queenie has trauma and is currently experiencing some major life changes that have triggered her to act out. She's putting her health and safety at risk. She's spiraling and while yes there is humor this was a sad read.

I was very upset with Queenie's friend group. I refused to believe that multiple women, one of which who is a psych student would not speak up or give her the hard truths. I felt like there was a lot of enabling going on.

As someone who has been in interracial relationships, I was not surprised by the mico aggressions and racism by not only the men interested in fucking her but her ex showed. I know in the TV series her fear of black men was explored. I have not seen the series only and interview which led me to believe that it would happen in the book. It did not.

I felt like the end of his was anti-climatic and Queenie still has a lot of healing and maturing to do. This book would be a great discussion piece.
