I picked this up cause I'm always looking for new black romance authors and stories. This was a rare miss. I don't know if it was a bit too inner monologue-y and not enough character interactions or the constant time jumps but this wasn't a fun read for me. It took me 5 days to read under 200 pages....more
2.5 stars This was really disappointing. I had a mixed time with The Graces, but this was kinda flat and just stayed there. The only thing I will say 2.5 stars This was really disappointing. I had a mixed time with The Graces, but this was kinda flat and just stayed there. The only thing I will say is that it followed a different character than book 1 so you get a slightly different perspective. It got a physical book off my TBR so it at least has that going for it....more

I didn't feel the connection between Nico and Becca, even though in previous books it had been hinted at, and the drama in it felt really out of left field and forced. A very rare miss, I think....more
While I liked this better than Randon Acts Of Crazy, if I'm being honest there's just a bit too much Darla in this for me. It wasn't even about her.. While I liked this better than Randon Acts Of Crazy, if I'm being honest there's just a bit too much Darla in this for me. It wasn't even about her.. This was about drummer Sam and his second chance romance with former school debate team friend and kinda crush Amy. They just both kept too much back and a bit of communication would have solved literally everyone in this books issues....more

WOah.. What the hell just invaded my eyeballs?!? What a trip. This didn't really have any romance in it..well..never mind let's just say it didn't, and also this was the first one in the series so far that actually epitomised the sin it was named after. ...more
I'd like to thank Candi Kane PR and Sierra Simone for providing me the opportunity to review this in preparation of A Harvest Of Sighs. My unbiased reI'd like to thank Candi Kane PR and Sierra Simone for providing me the opportunity to review this in preparation of A Harvest Of Sighs. My unbiased review is below.
I'm going to be really generous here and give this 2.5* After A Lesson In Thorns, I expected so much. The relationships not only between Poe, Auden and Saint; but Rebecca (the Domme of my dreams) Beckett and Delphine were thrown away and the three "less important" characters were basically not there, only to provide some scenes and then fade into smoke when done.
They deserved better. As did Saint. All the way around, he was mistreated.
And don't even get me started on Poe and Auden. His moodiness mixed with her whininess almost made me stop reading a bunch of times.
There's a lot in this book that won't be for everyone. Be on the lookout for trigger warnings and the content warning at the beginning of the book.
Now A Harvest Of Sighs? It better sort out that ending. And maybe Auden should be the one on his knees... ...more

I...am disappointed by this. I wanted to love it and the premise is everything I wanted. But the narrator sounded way too old for this, the story felt...jaded and the fact she constantly called her orgasm as a separate entity really annoyed me. ...more

Why did I like this so much the first time I read it?? I felt the same when I re-read City Of Bones. Maybe because I've read a bunch of better written and more enjoyable urban fantasy since I read this the first time. But Clary annoys the fuck out of me. Alec is a whinny bitch. Don't even get me started on The Inquisitor and Mayrse.
I'm gonna keep on the re-reads. There's got to be a reason I read these before. But what??...more
The drama between Victor and Eli just wasn't here in this one and as much as it might be an unpopulMaybe 2.5*
This was nowhere near as good as Vicious.
The drama between Victor and Eli just wasn't here in this one and as much as it might be an unpopular opinion, I just don't care that much about Sydney and her storyline.
This ended on a cliffhanger and I didn't expect that. Mostly because I didn't know until now that there would be a third book.
A third book that, incidentally I will not be in a rush to pick up.
I was so excited to finally start this and from the start I was let down, especially because I adored Vicious so much. ...more

The message behind this book is important. Consent is important. Necessary. Vital. I'm rating this as high as I am because of the message. I even enjoy how the girls stand up against the Greek system, even though they try to intimidate the young girl into dropping her claim.
