nerdinthelibrary's Reviews (926)

might be my favourite in the series so far??? and i don't know why. 

crazy how most adaptations leave out the entire second half as if the stuff with cathy 2, hareton and linton aren't the best parts of the book. i don't think they're very similar characters, but i feel the same way about heathcliff as i do snape. isabella did nothing wrong <3

gotta be honest, i'm already getting a little bored

this was fun. i knew nothing about this other than it being dark and maybe involving a killer, so the first chapter really gagged me. decent sex, which is honestly all i can ask for. i did find lana's internal narration a bit much sometimes. there were times when it was kinda 'i'm just a little ~dark~ and ~fucked up~ and ~weird~' and like the author was worried we would forget she was a serial killer. the library has all the audiobooks for the series and they're all super short so i will probably read the whole thing over the next couple days. 

thought this was a pretty disappointing sequel :/ i forgot how common it was back in the day for second books to be 80% filler full of boring romantic drama. i liked the development of rose and christian's friendship and some more world building, but otherwise... the romantic drama made me want to claw my eyeballs out. rose pining for dimitri and leading on mason gave me such bad city of ashes flashbacks. i ended up not minding adrian but initially he was really getting on my nerves; i have very little patience for this brand of snarky bad boy. also not nearly enough rose and lissa interactions for my liking. 

is this the worst book i've read this year? probably not. 
is this my least favourite book i've read this year? maybe. 

say what you will about colleen hoover, her books are at least buckwild and short.
