this was a missed opportunity in my opinion. this is jeremy volkov, the leader of the infamous heathens, and most importantly, THE son of lia and this was a missed opportunity in my opinion. this is jeremy volkov, the leader of the infamous heathens, and most importantly, THE son of lia and adrian volkov. rina kent's most iconic couple (imo). just bc of who he was, was enough for me to like the book before i even started it. and no doubt this book would have had a much lower rating if it weren't for the volkov family name here. and to be honest, it didn't help that cecily is the daughter of my most hated couple from the royal elite series (xander & kim).
let me start off with the things i liked: ✧ jeremy's depth. it was heartbreaking how deeply insecure he was bc of his childhood trauma. and he was unable to feel emotions, but was curious once cecily came into his life and slowly starts to feel because of her. ✧ when cecily sent him pink sparkling heart emojis, and he was trying to figure out what they meant. that was so fucking cute ...more

❝It might feel like you can’t take it, like it would be better to die, but that’s not true. It’ll heal, maybe not right away or in the near future, and it might not heal completely, but the wound will close and you will look back on this day as the moment you changed.❞ ❝But I’ll be scarred for life,❞ I sob, hitting my chest again. ❝Right here.❞ ❝Scars mean you are alive and strong enough to survive.❞ He kisses the top of my head. ❝I’ll worship each of your scars until you’re able to face them, Lenochka.❞
warning: this is going to have spoilers from book 1.
this series is the epitome of the villian gets the girl. adrian is no half-assed villian. he is not morally grey. rina doesn’t shy away from making her characters exactly how she says they are, and i love that. he's unforgiving and doesn't feel guilt but only does when it comes to her, he's only soft for her. and if that shit ain't my absolute fav. he had me fuming at some points but then two seconds later, i was back to swooning.
in book 1, we were 6 years into their relationship and at the point where lia had amnesia and was thinking she was winter. but this book starts from the very beginning, right before adrian and lia meet. how the story unravelled and lead up to the events of book 1 was perfection. reading this made everything click. rina kent really impressed me with her story telling and how everything unfolded. we had the build up of their relationship, them giving into each other, a bunch of keeping you on the edge of your seat shit, and then the downfall ...more

“Hey, Papa.” Jeremy stares up at his father. “Yes?” I notice that Adrian’s voice is gentler when he speaks to his son. It still has that intensity in it, but he doesn’t direct it at Jeremy. “Can I have Mommy?” Adrian’s ash eyes slide to me before he focuses on his son again. “You already do.” “Not now. At night. I want Mommy to sleep with me, but she said I have to ask you for it.” Flames creep up my cheeks. The kid took that suggestion seriously. “She did, huh?” Adrian meets my gaze with a small smile that leaves me breathless. Holy shit. It’s not even a full smile, but I feel like I’m being attacked. “Uh-huh,” Jeremy says, oblivious to the tension brewing in the air. “So, can I have her?” “You already have her during the day, so no.” “Please, Papa.” “Do you want me to be all alone, Malysh?” “No.” “Then you have to give me your mother during the night.” “Do you need Mommy too, Papa?” Adrian pauses before he says calmly, assertively, “I do.”
I can’t take anymore. I thought they were going to make the most amazing toxic couple but I did not like them together at all. They was no Dnf at 75%
I can’t take anymore. I thought they were going to make the most amazing toxic couple but I did not like them together at all. They was no build up to their relationship and all of a sudden Bunky was obsessed with Whaley. I wish there would have been more tension created between them. And they were having sex like 15% into the book?? Talk about whiplash. To me they didn’t have chemistry, I don't even know why they liked each other and why they were so obsessed with one another. It was all talk and not showing. I didn’t like Whaley and he just pissed me off with how he treated Bunky. There was SO many sex scenes, I started to skim. This is always a bad sign for me because if I feel the need to skim them it means I’m not really feeling the couple. Idk if it’s just me, but the spice was not hitting for me here? They felt short and unsatisfying, not even the blood kink could save those for me lol. So yeah just felt like I was reading a bunch of couple paged sex scenes…..I’m not sure what it was, but there wasn’t anything there for me to want to root for them. Like yes, they’re both haunted by their trauma and both are in a similar dark place but….I wish we had more of them bonding and talking through it. But ofc we had a book that was prioritizing a physical relationship ...more

Odin Snow wasn’t a good person. He was the devil incarnate and if Hunter wasn’t careful, he’d get trapped in his inferno, forced to burn forever.
this was really hard for me to rate because i don't normally read Sci-Fi and let's be honest, i am here for the romance. but thankfully, the plot outside the romance was enthralling. i stayed up till 2am to finish this, till the point where my eyes were burning because i needed to see how everything was going to play out. the world was so intriguing, there is mafia, people who have powers, there are Whisper and Shouts (which you'll find out more about when you read
