christina c. jones is most definitely one of my favorite authors. my giddiness when i get to read a new story in blackwood is unmatched because i already KNOW i'm getting into a perfectly balanced smutty romance with a little extra ✨ RAZZLE DAZZLE ✨ & that, i DID! 

this reminded me of the vampire diaries. the idea of souls of doppelgängers being connected/destined for each other, i enjoyed every moment of it. at least in this story the ending was HAPPY 😅😂 

i can't wait til CCJ writes more blackwood novels with the supernatural element to it! i want more vigga romances!! 🙌🏽

let me start off by saying how happy i am to have read another sapphic book with TWO black fmcs, written by a black author. i will said i did adore the characters & their corniness. this was very much stereotypical lesbian shit, engaged & moved in after 5ish months. but as a wlw, I GET IT. when you know you know! 😅 

while i do plan to continue reading the bayou series, i do feel like the writing style lacked character & depth. i feel like first person can sometimes take away from the descriptive quality. the storyline was dope, i enjoyed it so much but i feel like i was reading a wattpad story written by a YA & not an adult romance novel, in the most respectful way. i will continue to be honest about the quality of the books AND still read them because i hope over time the writing style becomes more developed. 

it's important to me that i support lgbtqia+ authors who DO write black sapphic romance stories because there's not enough representation, imo! overall tho, i give the story a 3.5/5 ⭐️
