Rhapsodic

riley_valento shared a tip "This book is great!! It’s a lil bit of a slow burn, but a really good one. I finished it in one day I just couldn’t stop reading!!"

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"

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"

madisonnjanee shared a tip "I put this book off after reading the summary a month ago. I was like ehhh, but then it was recommended to me so I gave it a shot. I loved this book. The plot was unpredictable and the romance was sweet. At first confusing but when it finally all came together I couldn’t stop reading. Although the ending was rushed and not quite what I hoped for. I recommended this book if you like a little mystery with your romance. Now where can I find a hottie Bargainer like Des to spend my nights with haha."

jesabelle_cruz shared a tip "This book is great if you like romance, goth, fantasy, but when it comes to supernatural conflict, the author is more interested in the romance aspect. Des seems attracted to Callypso from the beginning so if you're looking for enemies to lovers or rivals to lovers, this book is not for you. However the relationship between the two expands and is easier to understand when you read flashbacks of Callypso's past. I didn't know Rhapsodic had sexual content when I bought it so personally that's a downside. It isn't in-your-face every chapter content, it's only there towards the end so it's not horribly indulging. The pages are thick, the cover is smoothe and beautiful, although it does get grease stains if your not careful with it- speaking of paperback. It's slightly difficult to imagine the portal that leads to Desmonds Kingdom, but I like to think of it as a minecraft portal. Rhapsodic is the first romance book I've read and I genuinely like it, I stay up most nights reading new chapters and Des isn't the Cliche arrogant-cocky love interest. This book has opened my eyes to romance and I'm considering getting more. I love Callie's relationship with Temper. I think I'm more attracted to Temper than I am to other characters. The first chapter I believe is actually Temper telling her "bitch you got mail" and at first I was thrown off but then I grew to like Temper's temper. I honestly thought Des was a vampire and not a faerie just by the cover...and then I realized traditional vampires don't have wings. This book can be read in one sitting but it took me several days and there's 400+ pages. Overall 4.5/5"

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!"

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!"

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."

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."

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."

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."

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 ****?"

madison_wright_8554 shared a tip "The romance was good but I felt like the actual plot was a little lacking? I feel like if we had actually been more involved in the other world and met more characters there even for a short time, the ending would have been more climactic. But overall the romance was good"
