Defend the Dawn by Brigid Kemmerer

The fox. Smirks.
Also like....I wish I had written down my crack theory from the first book because like....it might have helped with the second book.
The ending.. Me looking for the publication date of the next book and it's not even on GoodReads....also like....
I'm a HarriSTAN. haha. I'm funny. Also I totally called it... like....I knew it.
When you get the queer vibes and you were RIGHT.
Oh it's the dawn cause...yeah that makes sense...
The last three chapters....like.... at leas there was some comfort in the last chapter, but like....

Lord of Eternal Night by Ben Alderson
So it's like....Beauty and the Beast, but with vampires, and it's queer.. It wasn't mind-blowing, which is kind of upsetting

A Vow So Bold and Deadly by Brigid Kemmerer

I love Harper. Like. So much. She's just so fierce and I love her. She's an all-in kind of person. She just has so much heart and I can't. And Rhen loves her so much and that's just amazing because it's adorable. 
The fantastic examples of what being triggered looks like.. and how trauma and scary events can hold onto a person.
I love it when men support their women and just like...treat them like equals....
Scary Grey speaking all of the truths. 

I just love the boys. They great. The straight ones and the not straight ones. All of them are fantastic. I love how everyone brings something to the table. Like Noah. Just... The ER practicality. And Jake (from State Farm). So I love every character except for one who I wish to strangle because reasons. 
My baby boy. Soft boi. I love him.

A Heart So Fierce and Broken by Brigid Kemmerer

I vote we get rid of the mom and the sister. I will withhold all judgment until I find out about their pasts, but they just seem awful. 
 I'm like...trying to not be mad at Lia Mara. Trying really hard. But she's oversimplifying everything and like...I wanna strangle her.
We love Noah. Why? Because he smort.
I'm glad we're acknowledging that the person who is lashing out is scared and that they probably have PTSD from all of the trauma..
I don't understand how Lia Mara can be so smart and then so stupid three seconds later. Like...does she even think about the consequences of her actions...at all...
...they just wanted to be bros...

That epilogue:

A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmer

 hdsjKAHDsjkah It's a Beauty and the Beast retelling.
All the claps for representation. 
Gray. We love him. We stan. 
I love the way that the curse is interpreted in this story...because like...it makes sense, and fills in holes. The way that time moves and the way that the beast develops and like...how everyone deals with it. 
I appreciate all of the nods to the original story and to the more iconic retellings. cough. the castle and the forest. 
It's fine. I'm dying alone.
I would die for Noah. He's great. Protec. He's annoying, but he's great.
