I liked the c-plot the most. I was deeply invested in knowing who killed Adeline's great-grandmother. The ghost-vibes was a nice touch.
I also liked Parson Manor. It was described perfectly!
I think Adeline was an okay FMC. I really don't see the hate for her. Zade was also okay, although unhinged lol.
Will be diving right into Hunting Adeline🫣

I love the Blackwood Institute-series, and I really enjoyed the first two books. But the last on didn't do the series justice. It was all to lovey-dovey for my taste and unrealistic. I can't wrap my head around the fact that they used over 18 months to catch the bad guy (lol, I already forgot his name). And the whole cult thing was to far out. They burned down the woods in Scotland in NOVEMBER?? You would've thunk the woods were to wet to burn down, but that's just my opinion.

The book started good and gave me such high hope, but the FMC cries ALL.THE.TIME. She's suppose to be this strong and independent woman who takes no shit, but she cries in every other page. One time she even cried over a newspaper because she missed reading it so much lol.
The word "cried" is used 41 times in the book. "Cry" is used 23 times. "Cries" two times and "tear/tears" 88 fucking times.
The sentence "I needn’t have worried." is used 6 times.
This author need an editor (or a better editor).
Spoilers below:
This is an extreme fast-burn and insta-love. The whole book takes place over a 3 week-span. They tell each other "I love you" after knowing each other for THREE WHOLE WEEKS and they only hung out 1 (O-N-E) week. It's ridiculous.
Some other reviewer pointed out the 180° turn the MMC's did in the end is extremely unrealistic. They have built up their whole operation from scratch and suddenly want to throw the whole thing out because of a girl they have hung out with ONE week?!
Also, the FMC SA the FMC in day one (or was it two). She stills "miss them" and "love them" after one week. Bfr.
Alexi being the bad guy was clear from day one, absolutely no plot-twist what so ever.
They also calls each other "married" and "wife" even tho they aren't married yet. The FMC even lost a contract because of the "morality clause" because she was married to some gangsters (even tho she wasn't!!). Makes no sense.
Don't think I will read the second book.

The plot? Could feel it from the first page. The writing? Totally fine. The characters? I loooove Charlotte&Emerson!!! Also, the side characters are so funny! I'm dying to read about Drake! And what is Maggie up to??
I have no idea what some of the other reviewers have been smoking, but there is nothing wrong with this book. It's an incredible easy read with cute characters. They enter the kìnk scene, so be aware.

Some om my favourite quotes:
“You know what pisses me off?” His tone was dark, but somehow it only awoke a thrill beneath my skin. I knew the answer to this question. “Assuming?” I focused on the TV, pretending not to care about what he was doing, but my heart faltered when he moved close behind me. I held my breath as he slowly set the remote back in my lap, and then right at the hollow behind my ear, he whispered, “Smart girl.” A shiver ran down my neck, but then he left with a parting word. “Don’t fucking do it again.”
He talked while he screwed, right against my ear in a deep rasp, and it made me crazy. “You take it so good,” he praised. “So fucking tight.” “So wet for me.”
Cannot wait to read rest of this series!

It also feels like I'm in a middle of a story when starting the first book. ALOT of names is tossed around only a couple pages in, and I found it hard to follow and remember everything. I think this book had excellent intentions but was poorly executed.
Will I read the second book? Of course lol

I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaate the pregnancy plot. I called it from the second we heard about her first symptoms. How stupid is Sasha supposed to be?? How can you not understand that you're 15 weeks preggo when you're having unprotected se x̌ every second of the day???
I also hate the miscommunication plot with all my heart. The end could have come half way through the second book if Kirill and Sasha just talked to each other.
And Kirill is just abusive and doesn't have a redeeming bone in his body. We get an explanation on why he is the way he is, but it doesn't excuse his actions.
