Hot Mic, Cold Ice ARC Review

Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice:🌶️🌶️🌶️

So I really hated this at the start. Like I was on chapter 3 and was almost convinced to DNF. But then I was like well we’re at chapter 3, let’s try to at least get to 50% and then definitively decide to DNF or not. Lo and behold, there was no DNF. I very much finished this story. 

Did I love Ziggy and Elliot, eh. Not so much at the start since they really irritated me. It also could have been the way I was reading the dialogue in my head but god I was not vibing with them. As the story progressed, I did enjoy their banter and growth as a “couple” though. So I’m glad I stuck it out as by the end I did like more (they got less annoying).

Thank you Torch Lit Ink and Tela V. for the opportunity to read this book. I appreciate it.

Crave Me ARC Review

Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Spice🌶️🌶️🌶️

I had a hard time at first getting into this but I think that was just the mood reader in me. I thoroughly enjoyed Dallas and Blaire, the dynamic of them and really just the book in general. I loved getting back to Aspen Ridge. I also enjoyed the little snippets from other characters POV, Sawyer and Liam, because their little side story bits impacted the overall relationship between Dallas and Blaire. 

It didn’t feel as awkward in this one as it did in Unravel Me (because I didn’t really enjoy Reid’s pov in that book as it felt so out of place in my opinion, where as the ex boyfriend who was crazy stalker his did make sense to include).

Back to Crave Me, finding out Blaire’s past was so heartbreaking. I wanted to cry while reading her nightmares. But Dallas being her safe place was so cute. I loved that.

I’m so unwell after this book. Like girl, DAISY. You have me so unwell. I gobbled that up like my life depended on it. 

Electra and Exton went so damn hard and I am here for it. I hope we get a bonus epilogue where it’s them and their kid. I need that in my life.

The trauma and growth they both went through together was just too good. Everyone needs to read this.

So thank you Daisy Thorn and Luna Literary for the opportunity to read this arc.

I was foaming at the mouth for so much of this. Like oh my god. DELULU IS NOT THE SOLULU in this books case. 

I honestly didn’t, but also did, see the twist that happened coming. I was like “oop” but then was like okay yeah I had a feeling that was gonna happen.
