I'm going to be very quick with this review because I remember literally nothing from this book series except that the main character has a disabled sister, the angels are some kind of disgusting winged creatures (to whom kindness is an unknown concept) and that the love interest (who was horrible) will be some kind of angel-bat when they change his wings (wtf?) the middle book completely fell out of my memory lol and at the end I remember that they flew down to hell and were brought back from there by those angels (WHO HAD CHILDREN?) and that's it. Bad plot, bad characters, bad exception. 

PS: Only the mother who insults the corpses gets a little credit, I could stand her.

If anyone is interested in my opinion on this abomination, please read the review of  ✨ faith ✨ trust ✨ pixiedust ✨ on goodreads under the first book (you will definitely find it among the 1-star reviews).
Well, I thank her for her work and effort for writing what I wanted.

And just to be clear I hate Rhysand. 

I liked it surprisingly compared to an SJM book, maybe as much as when I first read ToG. I'm not saying it took me off my feet, but I liked it enough, the fast-pacedness, the secrets and the incredible energy. I was even able to love Bryce (but Danika and Fury are my heart anyway), but I wouldn't dare say that about Hunt. The plot was very long, often towed, but I survived. I liked the investigative anyway, it was a bit like watching a series.

First of all, this book wouldn't have received such a bad rating from me if I read it in another life at another glance, but unfortunately i didn't. Who do I want to fool? I'm not sorry. Indeed that this this book earned to get such a bad rating  from me. I just annoyed myself because it is also labeled as a book for booktok for millions to spit on their saliva, but nothing big. Another book, another disappointment. Maybe I shouldn't look at the readings, this opinion will be a reminder to me, in case I forget that not all is the cover.

Olive PISSED ME OF. All in all capital letters. Simply anyway I tried I couldn't like it even though I swear I tried it. It has about as much intellectual level as the name of the berry, but seriously. I had to read almost everything on the page about how perfect Ethan was, how big his muscles were and his black hair. Usually our protagonist stared at these muscles so much that she even forgot the outside world. Of course, it must also be emphasized in at least every second sentence that she is fat anyway.  Isn't she a new FBAA character? Just to have something to zucch at.

Ethan was a bit better, but just as childish. At the age of 34, he was unable to speak to Olive like a normal person. It should be added that he has not spoken to her for TWO years because of a misunderstanding. Because a man wouldn't notice the protagonist's breasts and buttocks. At this point I could have scraped the wall, but it's not over yet. Olive is so damn unlucky it's unbelievable , her sister is the opposite. At the wedding, she won pretty much everything in a raffle - because she was ungodly fortunate obviously - so she had a few thousand dollars. Hold on because the turn is coming; Everyone gets a disease from the buffet and starts vomiting at the same time the two main characters are the exception.

Well, I thought it can't be any worse - I know since then I thought I was wrong - so I read on. But what figures out is that they have to go to the honeymoon because only the last names are given. This is the bottom line for enemies to lovers trope but seriously. 

What happens if they don't go to the (fake) honeymoon? Nothing. There will be no end of the world, no frogs will fall from the sky, you just have to pay back the full amount.

Anyway, they go out and pretend to be married - Olive's boss and Ethan's old annoying ex appear, just to have to have to look husband and wife anyway. Basically, I have nothing wrong with the fake date trope but here I would have liked to have jumped off a mountain rather than reading it. I haven't read any worse execution in my life. I beg for it was embarrassing for that massage, I can't believe they couldn't say no to it.

The whole book is almost built around to trying to pretend to like each other until a fun evening Ethan got drank and tells her that he likes Olive anyway. After that, they spend an intimate night together, after which they pretend nothing has happened in the world, but after that, no one expects the plot to actually go, as they are busy every 5 minutes to go to bed.

After returning home, they do not tell anyone they are dating, but they are hiding - why? I cannot say - which then ends up in a drama. It turns out (what a twist) that what her sister's husband Dane (I dont even remember his name) is constantly cheating on and he tries to date with her. After that, no one believes her - neither her sister nor her boyfriend - and even loses her job and Ethan breaks up with her.

Weeks will pass by the end of the truth, and not anyone will bring this strange meeting together, but Ami. Then, of course, both Ethan and who beg for Olive's favor, and even get married in two years. Because these Torres and Thomas marriages have been so successful so far (which I and Dane are Ami for).

However, no one else has to be afraid of a happy ending for her that she has wanted; In addition, a loving boyfriend is a step-child.

The plot was very flat, by the way, and very  slow, hardly anything on the first 100 pages. The jokes were usually baked in the stupidest moments and made little sense.

This was the Unhoneymooners book. It didn't take it off my feet, it didn't break my soul, and I was absolutely not impressed.

Booktok books are just that. You suffer with them, you wish you were death, but in the end, your desire for life is stronger and you are hoping that you may not listen to people next time.

So this was my first Coollen Hoover book and I think I had enough of the author for a lifetime, so to speak.

This book was definitely disgusting and scary (more the former).  I have no idea how this is a psycho-thriller, but I don't care anymore.

To be honest, it wouldn't have been bad if it had been written by another writer whose aim is not to depict eroticism in such a book (SJM laughs in the background).

──────────────────
 
I don't have much of an opinion about this book, since it consisted of nothing but erotica, which I wouldn't have a problem with IF IT WASN'T THAT DETAILED DESCRIPTION ON ALMOST EVERY FIFTH PAGE practically 5% is the actual plot. My stomach is very strong and really almost nothing can hold it when it comes to books, but this even caught me.

The book starts with an unusual thing;  with death - just like the IEWU - right in front of the main character's eyes.  Normally, you would panic, possibly go into shock or pass out like any sane person at the sight of a dead body, but not Lowen. Her biggest problem is that her shirt got brains and blood (????) But no problem, the prince (instead of Jeremy) comes on a white horse (with a cool spot car) to save her, in this case he gives her a shirt.  If I may note one thing;  DON'T accept anything from good-looking guys, because they screw up and it turns out that their wife is a psychopath, but if that wasn't enough, they themselves are.

After that, as a result of a friendly chat, Lowen accepts the continuation of one of the most famous book series in the world (written by Jeremy's wife Verity) without having read any of them, and besides, she herself is not a very good writer,  but no problem.

Lowen moves into the Crawford household and start (or would start) the book series for her too, if Verity's manuscript were not tied to her.  Because rummaging through other people's personal belongings is fun. Meanwhile, she thinks she's crazy because she sees the supposedly paralyzed wife walking.

In the manuscript, Verity describes her entire marriage to Jeremy and how her cubs died at her hands (or only one of them), whose only sin was that her husband loved them more than her. So the woman was not only jealous or a psychopath, but also a child killer.

Chastin and Harper were the stars of their father's eyes, especially the later.  Interestingly, after a while Verity also fell in love with Chastin (or at least tried to).  Even she mourned Chastin's death.  By the way, Harper was born with a disability, so she was harder to understand.  Finally, about seven months later, she too followed her sister to the afterlife after Verity drowned her.  Jeremy lost not only his wife, but also his two children in just a few months.

After Lowen finished reading - in a tough two weeks - which she should have started a novel instead, she runs straight to Jeremy, with whom they fall in love with a speed that defies the insta love trope.
(So wtf. There is no reason why they should fall in love anyway, especially since Lowen basically just broke up with her boyfriend and Jeremy is IN PRINCIPLE married. This is the worst insta love trope i ever read. )
   
After Jeremy killed his ex-wife and the mother of his only remaining child, Crew, they find a letter in which Verity describes how the opposite of everything happened.

That would be the famous twist.  Whatever the truth, the whole thing is a big mess, a stupidity, a Fifty Shades of Gray copy. If what Verity wrote is true (by the way, the meaning of the name is truth, so I'm leaning towards the fact that she didn't get this by chance and it will probably be the right one) then Jeremy is the killer, and if the manuscript is correct then Verity is.  No one is innocent and no one is sane in this story

I really struggled with this book, really.  Basically, again, I can only blame this on the booktok. There was no mention of all this nonsense. Furthermore, I can't even understand that how in the great hell this thing got rated 94% on Moly, and that the writer thought that child abuse was mixed up with eroticism. Disgusting and sick.

Friendly reminder: DO NOT accept shirts from strangers.

UPDATE: after the bonus chapter

What was that??? When I said Jeremy is a killer, I meant it. First Verity and now Patricia (or whatever her name was) wtfff this doesn't make any sense anymore. This chapter alone got me so far that a hidden part of me felt (a little) sorry for Lowen and her child.

STOPPED AT 21%
I will probably continue in the future, but right now it somehow doesn't enchant me, even though it is an interesting and well-written book.

I definitely had to give this book time.  And this time I made the right decision (it's a miracle haha). If anyone asks me if I liked this book, I really can't say yes or no, because it's much deeper than that.
———————————————————
Fleetwood was one of my favorite characters in this book, she wanted the child just as much as her husband Richard and her mother. Her friendship with Alice was really close and she needed her just as much as Alice needed her, she was there and saved her from death just as Alice saved her. 

I can compare Alice to a mouse, a very brave mouse. My soul wept for her, wept because she was treated this way, and she was innocent! 

I hate Roger, in fact I feel something much deeper than hatred for him. 

Richard is very complicated for me, I can't adjust to him and I don't want to, a part of me despises him very deeply, but another is grateful to him for ultimately doing the right thing. 

Basically, the action takes place in 16th century England during the reign of James I (who was very famous for the witch hunts) and I have to admit that this is one of my favorite eras! It was relatively easy to read and interesting (especially the witches, who I would have liked to have read more about them) I didn't know what I needed in this life, but now I know, whatever force, creature or even fate made me continue this book, I owe its my soul!

Not my cup of tea. Not likeable characters at all and very, very bad writing.

Ehhez az értékelőhöz össze kellett szednem minden erőmet, hogy ezúttal én is valami maradandót alkossak. Bár tegnap fejeztem be a könyvet, úgy gondoltam alszok egyet rá, biztos ami biztos.
———————————————————
Hazudnék ha azt mondanám hogy ez volt a kedvencem a sorozatban, pedig tényleg próbáltam megszeretni (esküszöm az összes istenre hogy próbáltam) de egyszerűen korántsem volt olyan magával ragadó, mint ahogyan gondoltam hogy az lesz. Valahogyan többet vártam, valahogy nem volt meg ezúttal az a varázs ami hónapokkal, évekkel ezelőtt igen.

Mili hatalmasat fejlődött az előző könyv óta és a pozitív irányba, bár megmaradt az a jó szívű, ártatlan és segítőkész személyisége sokkal határozottabb és szigorúbb lett, aminek nagyon örülök, mert szerintem a karakterének ez nagyon kellet már. Azért még sem lehet úgy irányítani és nyomozni, hogy minden a rózsaszín ködben van.

Richárd, hűha szóval soha nem hittem volt hogy pont róla fogok rosszat mondani, de most itt vagyunk. Úgy értem eddig mindvégig szerettem a karakterét, de most olyan volt mintha kifordult volna magából, egyszerűen nem volt önmaga. Alapvetően nem szeretem ha egy író ezt teszi egy férfi karakterrel. Túlságosan elpuhult. Megértem hogy fel kell őket törni stb de azért nem fog a szerelem mindent megváltoztatni, főleg nem ilyen gyorsan. Egyszóval hiányzott a régi Richárd.

A kapcsolatuk határozottan nagyott ugrott az előző rész óta. Annyira természetesek voltak egymásnak mint a levegő, aminek egy részem nagyon örül. És igen, valóban mindkettejüknek vannak nehézségei és kifogásai dolgokkal kapcsolatban, de az előző könyvekkel ellentétben ezúttal próbálják lassan de biztosan megoldani a problémákat és nem rögtön egymásnak esni.

A villa személyzete és lakói ezúttal nem voltak ugyanazok és a régiekről még említést sem kaptunk, hogy miként is vannak. Ez pedig összetöri a szívem. Szerettem volna még egyszer utoljára látni a régieket is!

A gyilkos kilétét ezúttal előttem is teljes mértékben sikerült elrejteni, ami azért nem kis munka. Elmondani nem tudom mekkora felüdülés volt ilyen könyvet olvasni, ahol nem rögtön spoilerezik le a gyilkost. Őszintén szólva kaptam egy kis SJTR vissza villanást a végén!

Szinte soha nem volt még szerencsém az áldozatok szemszögéből olvasni (leszámítva pár könyvet) és ahogyan akkor is most nagyon tetszett. Bár ez a könyv határozottan a szerelem köré - mivel a legtöbb öngyilkosságot is a szerelem nevében követték el - épült, nem volt egyáltalán zavaró. Érdekes volt az indítékukról, az utolsó szavaikról és gondolataikról olvasni.

Őszinte leszek a cselekmény eleje lassú volt és unalmas, egyszerűen sehogy sem kötött le, na de aztán valami megragadta a figyelmem és eljutottam a könyv háromnegyedéig. Ezek után jött a sötét korszak amikor csak pakolgatam hol ide oda a könyvet, de nem olvastam. Végül tegnap megfogadtam hogy elolvasom végre bármi is történjen és azt hiszem ez kellet a lelkemnek. Végre hivatalosan is lezárhattam egy korszakot. Határozottan hiányozni fog ez a könyv sorozat! Meghatározó része volt az életemnek és továbbra is az lesz, mert minden bizonnyal újra fogom olvasni amikor csak tehetem. 

A huge thank you to Kreadsbooks for writing down exactly what I wanted.
