God this was bad. Like colossally bad. It was trying so so hard to be this edgy dark romance, but the author still seemed to want everyone to be like lawful good and weirdly vanilla for a book that claims to be such a wild unbelievable tale. And then there was the humor. I think I’ve read science textbooks with better jokes. It was weird and really cringey and the smut was SO BAD. This author should high key just pay for my therapy bc what the hell was that.

LunaReadsBooks reviewed Their Vicious Games by Joelle Wellington
WOW
4 stars
Holy crap…this was a fucking wild ride. The writing is beautiful, the characters and their relationships are so well studied and thought through, and the last 100 pages put me closer to cardiac arrest than anything I’ve read so far this year. The story and structure was a tiny bit to heavy on the classic “YA capitalize random things because that makes it sound cooler, also look a love triangle” but otherwise, this is a masterpiece. The commentary on classism, racism and female friendships were SO well done in my opinion this author is hella talented.

LunaReadsBooks reviewed Funny Story by Emily Henry
Emily Henry NEVER misses
5 stars
This, like all her books was showstopping. It was funny, heartwarming AND wrenching, and had that wonderful sprinkle of healing from trauma together that made it all the better. As always we STAN her pathetically obsessed men, who have the emotional capacity of something more advanced than a newly-born muskrat. This was wonderful, this woman is truly one of the most iconic humans ever. 5 stars❤️

LunaReadsBooks reviewed Apprentice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer (Assistant and the Villain, #2)
I fear the pining needs to stop.
3 stars
The plot in the last 20% of this book wandered places I do not understand at all. I think too many things were happening, and the author needed to leave everything on a dramatic cliff hanger, but in doing so, all of the magical aspects of this book just made zero freaking sense. I think a lot of fantasy novels in the middle of series tend to have this problem, but this one suffered HEAVILY from it. Though the first half was fairly coherent. And then there’s the romance…SIGH…there’s a point where slow burn isn’t cute and angsty anymore. Like, YOU’VE LOOKED LONGINGLY AT HIS STARTLINGLY TWINKLING EYES ENOUGH GIRLFRIEND, PLEASE JUST KISS HIM, YOU TWO ARE DRIVING ME INSANE. Honestly, at the end there I was just rage reading. But even so, despite this VERY mid book, I WILL be reading the third one when it comes out, because …
