Devil's Night Series by Penelope Douglas (Reviews)

-



* I couldn't get my hands on "Conclave" for free, and since it's not a key book in the series, I decided not to buy it. There is no review for this book. 

Corrupt


Hideaway

Honestly, I wish I had more to say, but this was a bit of a let down compared to Corrupt in my opinion.
Looking back, it focused more on Damon than the protagonists and honestly, I wanted to feel more connected to the characters. Kai, even from his perspective, seems closed off, and I was hoping that by the end I'd feel like I knew him, but no such look.
Kai was meh and for me and so was banks. She was driven and ambitious, but Rika was taunting, pure fire and gave as good as she got. Whereas I felt like, we never got to see banks bad-side, which is a shame because I know she has one. In all fairness to Penelope, I really did enjoy seeing how Banks tried to navigate her old life from her knew one. And her love for Damon v.s Kai. I think she'll develop more of a tongue later on in the books and I can't wait!
Furthermore, I kind of found the main relationship creepy and controlling. Honestly, the thing I most remember from this is...
“Want her?” Will cut in. “What the hell would he want with her when we have top-shelf chicks in our cars right now? Didn’t you see how she was dressed? No make-up, guys’ clothes... She’s a feminist.” 💀💀💀💀. I almost died laughing


Kill Switch

I don't even know what happened. I really can't remember. I love Damon as a character (not a person) bc he's multi-layered. Winter on the other hand bored me. Also HE RAPED HER. Why the fuck are they married now?
Anyways, the underlying review thingy is that it kept me interested and felt quick paced but there was nothing memorable about it. Like, I read it, I enjoyed it, and then it's just gone from memory.


Nightfall

This is gonna be a long review...
1. The pace was so confusing for me. Sometimes it felt like it was going so quickly and other times, I was just like, "hurry the fuck up." Very confusing.
2. The way that Will treats Emory is just not okay. He justifies it by saying that she sent him to prison but come on now. She was young and scared about her grandma. Haven't you learnt from Rika not to blame the girl you love for getting you into prison?
3. I felt like it stopped being about Will and Emory and I didn't really understand her character anymore. As well as that, where tf was Will's humour. IK he's changed from prison and shit but I didn't know who I was reading about half the time. Was it Will or a dead man?
4. There is no way I'm the only one who could not keep up with the ending. I just spent the whole time not knowing who was who. Lol.
But saying all that, if you ignore everything that happens after they get out of black church, I LOVED IT. So basically ignore everything after that.


Fire Night

I rlly loved this. It's short, quick paced, and gives you an insight to what the future hold for Thunder Bay. Sadly, there won't be a spin-off series as far as I know but even so, read this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer (review)

*TW - stalking, sexual assault, emotional manipulation and other questionable behavior... The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer BTW, more in-depth reviews of the individual books are coming (when I can be arsed to re-read them) I feel like everyone has seen a twilight review and we all know that it's misogynistic but I'm just going to point out the most creepy stalkery bits that people don't focus on. 1.  In breaking dawn p1 Bella has sex with Edward and gets extremely bruised but is like "no it's fine!" Then when she gets pregnant even though she could die, she's like i'm keeping the baby. Not exactly the best thing to influence women and their sex lives. 2.  In the 3rd book, Jacob basically says to Bella that if she doesn't kiss him he'll kill himself? He also forces Bella to kiss him before that in another book. 3.  The way that Bella is constantly doubting herself and thinking she's not good enough for Edward. A living corpse. Who loves...

AUTUMN 2022 TBR AUTHORS

  Autumn 2022 Authors Okay so this is a bit late but fuck it, we're doin' it anyway. Around this time a lot of people who talk about books (w ha t nerds 😅 ) ta lk about wha t they want to read. Yeah no, that's not how I work. Life needs flexibility bitches (but I need blog posts cause I'm bored). For some random reason that is definitely   not written in any bracket, I decided to choose some of the authors I want to listen to more of. Edit: Looking back at this I really need some diversity. All of these authors are female, white and blond... Next time we are gonna get some variety in here. Jennifer Niven Out of all the famous authors she's definitely the most underrated since she literally ownly ever gets credited with "All the Bright Places". To me this is insane. I haven't even read the majority of her books and I already know that it's bullshit. "Holding Up the Universe" was enough to prove that to me so I'm hoping to read more of...

Breathless by Jennifer Niven (review)

-
This was apart of my tbr authors list  so I was like, "Imma do a review" 'cause why not. So first of, Jennifer Niven is the author of "All the Bright Places" which has been made into a netflix movie and that was how I discovered her and her books. To be honest, I really do a pprop riate "All the Bright Places" 'cause it got me through some dark times when I was just struggling and it made me feel like I wasn't alone but I do have to say that "Holding up the universe" is probably her best book and because of that it became fairly obvious that she was a GOOD author. Like most people who have one big hit... let's just say it's for a reason... BUT Jennifer did not disappoint. I wanted to read more, and then she did disappoint... 😮‍💨. So basically this girl who's name I don't remember, lets just call her Jenny, goes to an island after her mother and farther get divorced. She's leaving her best friends behind, her dad ...
