Very fun, definitely filthy, probably not for everyone, but it was for me. The banter was fantastic, and I loved seeing all the people interact and bond. I have almost nothing in common with either Lauren or Nico but it doesn’t matter because Navessa Allen really makes you understand and care about her characters.

These books are incredible, this one was no exception. 
It made me cry, twice, and my heart has done about 20 backflips trying to keep up with everything. 
These books are more complex and heartfelt and intense than I can possibly describe. They’re also SO MUCH FUN, but it’s also going to make you cry. Seriously. 
It’s impossible to put these down once you start. 
Highly recommend reading them with a friend, or a sibling, or someone so you can talk about it with them. 
My sister, who has arguably never read or listened to a book start to finish, is now completely obsessed and outpacing my brother and I. 
SOMEONE PLEASE READ THIS SERIES. ♥️

I had a hard time relating to the main character. Although I understood it and her I just do not resonate and it felt like work to continue to read and I read for fun. I love this author this one just wasnt for me.

I think I’ll think about this book for a long time. 
I think this story is really beautiful, and beautifully written. A sober fever dream that somehow feels real and true. 
I think that so much resonated with me from both Aldo and Regan my book is all marked up with notations like a well studied textbook. 
I think people that’s struggle with this book maybe haven’t struggled with their own inner monologue and neurodivergence in the same way. 
Mental illness comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. But so does love, and in my opinion that’s really what this book is about.

5.0⭐️
These books are amazing. They’re so effing good. I cannot recommend them enough. 
Carl, Donut, Mongo, Katia and Mordecai are at it again in a totally new level with all kinds of challenges. There is a ton of communication with others crawlers which makes it all the better, and Donut in fact cannot swim. Political intrigue sparks up,  feral gods are a thing, and one villain arc comes to a close. 
I laughed, gasped, teared up, and called my brother every other day so we could discuss it and theorize. 
These books are incredible

Back in the tangle with Rekosh and Ahmya! Exactly what I wanted, exactly what I love about this world. This is fun alien scifi, seriously though it’s a great read, and the romance is also lovely. 
Rekosh and Ahmya navigate the tangle and their budding feelings for one another. It’s a slower more character based story than the originally Spiders Mate trilogy, but that’s to be expected since Zurvashi is dead… right? 😉

Can I move to Rebel Blue and be a part of this world and family? Cause I’d love to. 
So cute, and kind, and heartfelt. Definitely a slower burn, but worth the wait. 
Some parts of this really hit home for me, but all of Lyla Sage’s books have that effect on me.

4.0⭐️
Holy shit, that was a wild ride, literally. 
These books are fantastically adventurous, intense, with action and heart and humor. 
This one was more technical by far, and at a certain point you just have to enjoy it instead of figure it out. A LOT happens in this. It is beyond me how Dinniman keeps anything straight but I love it. 
Absolutely loved more interaction with other crawlers and the familiar faces and friends made along the way. Still reading competitively with my younger brother, which I highly recommend so you can talk it out with another person. 
On to the next! I effing love this series.

These audiobooks are just too much fun. Lots of heart, lots of laughs, good fun. The banter is top notch, even if Liv was sometimes annoying. But! I get it, and her. I just love Mac. Highly recommend this series!
