I’m halfway through and only one story has been memorable, so imma DNF.

Ratings:

way too repetitive.

Couldn’t catch my attention. Stopped on chapter 5.

I’m intrigued by what’s happening, but the writing is so long-winded that it’s moving way too slow for me.

I really thought I was going to love this book, but for some reason I just can’t get into it. It’s definitely more of a personal thing, rather than a problem with the book itself. It’s starting off very smutty, which isn’t my style. Plus, so far, the male main character is coming off one dimensional to me (but that may change if I was able to move further). I’d you like romance with a higher smut level, you’ll probably connect with this one more than I did! 

CW: gaslighting, toxic familial relationships, manipulation, fighting/violence

I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast Is Me was my absolute favorite book of 2023 and one of my favorite books of all time! But, I just can’t get into the sequel.

When I finished the first book, I felt that it didn’t need a sequel. It was perfect the way it was! But, I was still incredibly excited to read this! However, while the writing style itself is good, the book is so character driven that absolutely nothing is happening in the story. I made it over halfway into the book and nothing has happened except for continuous introspection from Laurence. Also, neither Niamh, nor Acheron, are translating well into characters. Acheron feels forced and Niamh is just lacking personality. 

I wanted to love this so bad, but I’m going to have to leave it alone and just think of I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast Is Me as a standalone.

Thank you Fierce Reads and NetGalley for this arc. All opinions are my own.

I tried my BEST to like this because of how absolutely gorgeous the cover is, but it just can’t keep my attention😭

I’m almost 100 pages in and nothing has happened.
