* KAI STANDING UP FOR ISA IN FRONT OF HIS MOTHER! 🫡💖
I liked this book and loved both Kai & Isa as characters but I was more interested in the side characters. I enjoyed the book but half of the time I was wondering about the others. Maybe I’ll give it a 5-star rating someday. I still think I got a lil bit generous 😭 I liked King Of Wrath more than this book because it had some angst and groveling in it.I live for this shit.But the relationship was healthy & ✨Perfect✨, hence no groveling hehe.
Also about the man ban of Isabella, I THINK HER EX'S STORY HELD NO IMPORTANCE! It felt unnecessary because Isa didn't hesitate to jump into bed with Kai at all!one conflict thought maybe?and she literally just told him in passing and he hugged her BLAH BLAH DONE? 🤣
The forbidden thingy between them was kinda extra? I mean I get it that there was a no-fraternization rule butSHE JUST GOT FIRED EASILY.One moment they were having fun without caring about others and the next moment she got kicked out of Valhalla?
I won't call it insta-love because the story was set after 1 year BUT I NEEDED IT FROM THE TIME SHE GOT THE JOB. Because the small tidbits in KOW made me wonder why they were staring at each other or Isa was arching her brows at him! 🤷🏻♀️ Ava and Alex's cameo was cute lmao! Christian is the star in both books.
Also, the reason for my 3-star rating is because I liked Isa & Kai as individual characters. The story and all was meh- okay.
* Okay so Dom & Alessandra are confirmed and I’m super excited for their book. (I’m waiting for them since reading about them the first time in KOW.)
* I thought Clarissa & Felix would get a book maybe but they clearly got their ending. Felix was cute tho! ♥️
* The ROHAN MISHRA DUDE 👀👀
* ASHER-SLOANE-XAVIER 😳 [I swear I’m rooting for Sloane & Xavier more now because HE WAS SO DIFFERENT. The lazy playboy with tattoos of his rivals and a bad reputation. *opening notifications for his book updates*]
* Veronica Foster (singer) & Ayana (model) 👀
* Luca-Maria-Leaf (it's still unsettled) 🥶
* LASTLY, THE ONE PERSON WHO MADE IT HARD FOR ME TO READ THIS BOOK WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT HIM! 😭😭 Serbian? Cold & Emotionless with pale blue eyes AND A BIG SCAR FROM HIS EYEBROW TO CHIN????? 🫠🥵 ✨VUK MARKOVIC (SERB)✨ y'all. Ana will take her sweet time torturing us because his book is probably gonna be the last one.
p.s sorry no sorry, pls don't compare my man RHYS with KAI.I'll take crawling anyday over FEATHER-ING

“Still, there was something about her that drew me in like a siren calling to a sailor. Destructive, certainly, but so beautiful it would almost be worth it.”
“she shone too brightly for the dark, traditional confines of Valhalla.”
“At first glance, he might appear soft, all quiet politeness and scholarly charm, but he had the body of a fighter. Hard and lean, corded with muscles draped in the most elegant of fabrics. A wolf disguised in sheep’s clothing.”
“Isabella.”
I forced a swallow down my throat.
“Yes?”
“Shut up and let me kiss you.”
“You should’ve never let me take you, Isabella. Because now that I have, I won’t be able to let you go.”
“We’ve been through some dark times, but you were always the brightest part of my life. Even when we broke up. Even when I walked out. Just knowing you existed somewhere in this world was enough.”
“She was the yin to my yang, the day to my night. We were two halves of a whole, and with her, I was finally complete.”
❛ There was something about her that drew me in like a siren calling to a sailor. Destructive, certainly, but so beautiful. ❜
“It’s a digital typewriter,” I explained. “Much easier to travel with.”

“You consulted with a team of neuroscientists about my writer’s block?”
(2.ii)
“If I’d said anything, you would’ve tried to stop me.” Kai gave a small shake of his head. “Perhaps I overstepped by sending it [Isas manuscript] to Jill [a literary agent] without consulting you, but I didn’t want you agonizing over it. Your story is good, whether she accepted it or not.”
“I love you, Isabella Valencia.” Simple and raw, stripped of all pretense except for the naked truth that had been staring me in the face all this time. “Every single part of you, from your laugh to your humor to the way you can’t stop talking about condoms.”
“You think you’re broken, but I wish you could see yourself the way I see you. Smart. Strong. Beautiful. Imperfect by your own standards but so wonderfully perfect for me.”
“I never really lived before you,” I said. “And I don’t want to imagine living after you.”
‘I can’t believe you remember that.’ ‘ I remember everything when it comes to you.’
