Rhapsodic

tina_skeen shared a tip "This book took me a while to get into it. At first I didn’t understand the relationship between the protagonist and Des, but later on I grew to appreciate their relationship. This book had a unique plot and I love the dark and twisted elements in it. Definitely recommend. 4/5"

alex_cochrane shared a tip "I did like the book because of the romance aspect and it reminded me if another series I really enjoyed in highschool. However I have two main issues with it. My main issue is with the character known as Temper. I felt she was an offensive and stereotyped portrayal of a black women. I also felt that after all the abuse that Callie suffered at the hand of men throughout the book, the author should have allowed her the moment at the end to "kill" the enemy rather than Des."

vonetta_young shared a tip "For this series? No. My fav book changes every year right now it’s A crown of gilded bones by jennifer L Armentrout it’s the 3rd in a series but sooooo good!"

jo_9681 shared a tip "Loved this book! The chemistry between these two is just amazing! The ending was a little confusing and rushed but granted it is part of a series but I still don’t feel the need to read the rest of the books"

rosalie_ferraro shared a tip "LOVED this series!! The first book was amazing! I liked how past and present overlapped for us to understand Callie and des’s relationship. Great read if you like fantasy romance! Book 2.5 is Des’s story, which was so good! Strongly recommend"

mackenzie_otlowski shared a tip "the author does really well with building the relationship between des and calli. their story picks up seemingly in the middle of things but their history unravels really well. i dislike the way the author wrote temper’s character, seemingly hitting every [offensive] stereotype she could for an independent black woman. overall a good read but i was disappointed to see temper’s portrayal."

sarina_king_7854 shared a tip "On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it an 8. I enjoyed the build up and the tension and the way she told the past and present simultaneously."

tedi_4249 shared a tip "I wasn’t sure when I started this, as it reads like a high school fan fiction, but I really enjoy the characters. The plot seems interesting, if only there were more of it in this one. It’s entirely focused on the romance aspect, and less about the issue at hand. Regardless, I ordered the second book and will probably read it just as fast as this one because hey, who doesn’t like a little ****?"

bryanna_hernandez shared a tip "This is one of the best books I have ever read! The character development was beautiful, the way that the author revealed pieces about Callypso’s past during the development of the story, the strong, protective male character that Desmond presented himself to be, and not to mention the 🔥Spice🔥! A romance book that I definitely recommend!! Just read it and you won’t regret it! DISCLAIMER: Mature content present!"

jacquelynn_cookson shared a tip "For the most part I enjoyed this book. I didn't enjoy the end. I didn't find there was much plot build up for the ending and felt mostly confused. It's a bit corny at times, too. But a good read to pass the time."

briann_locke shared a tip "I loved the whole series! I don't really remember a part I didn't care for. I loved the story behind it and that she's didn't make the main characters helpless and not know anything like some authors do!"

carrie_leavitt shared a tip "This book was wonderfully written and captivating. I could not put this book down. The story unravels at what I believe to be the perfect pace. The character development on the Bargainer’s behalf is also amazing."

meg_8538 shared a tip "The description of this book made me feel like it was not for me. However, after seeing it suggested over and over I decided to give it a chance. Boy was my initial opinion wrong. I finished the book in a day. I could not stop reading, and I'm glad I decided to give it a try."
