[𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 — cursing (d@mn, a$$, sh!t, h3ll, b!t€h), semi descriptive kissing scenes, alcohol consumption, and descriptive fighting scenes]

"𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗹𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱"

so this was definitely not perfect. but it 𝙬𝙖𝙨 enjoyable.

•🪺•𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘁 + 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴•🪺•
- the plot was not bad. i liked the whole “i must bring her back but we also have a history so that’s a thing” plot line. it was rly rly creative !!
- the pacing was rly off. i felt like the main characters were doing some of the same things over and over again. but i wasn’t terribly bored.

•🪺•𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴•🪺•
- was is it js me or did the writing backtrack a little bit from powerful? it improved yes, but nowhere near ‘powerful’ level. but, i still think lauren is a talented writer !

- okok lauren i see you !! i love love loved pae’s character development in this one - her vulnerability?! i was so invested in her backstory and i rly enjoyed her povs !

[<𝗸𝗮𝗶 𝗮𝘇𝗲𝗿>]
- ahhh kaiiii !!! i 𝙇𝙊𝙑𝙀𝘿 his character development in this one !! i also loved how he was rly fleshed out in this one - and his backstory?! saur cool. his quotes?! UNMATCHED😩😩#kaiplsletmebeyours #kaipookieimrighthere

[<𝗸𝗶𝘁𝘁 𝗮𝘇𝗲𝗿>]
- i liked him in 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨, and in the beginning of this one, but the ending?! count your days kitty cat😡 i liked the majority of his povs, but i wanted more details instead of him sulking in his office(why are we throwing food out a window?!) also the ending gave major apollo from ouabh vibes

[<𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀>]
- lenny (my new fav !!), jax, and andy !!

•🪺•𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 [𝗮𝗸𝗮 '𝙠𝙖𝙞𝙥𝙖𝙚']•🪺•
- THEYRE TENSION?! UN-MATCHED😩😩 i loved the romance aspect in this one way more than powerless - the enemies but with a lovers past?! give me more books w this trope pls !!
- while i 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙙 kaipae sm in this one, i didn’t rly like how much kai or paedyn went “i loathe you” “you’re such a pain in the a$$” “my inevitable” etc. (you’ll get a headache from counting)
