Yeah the mystery is keeping me intrigued and going. I just hope there’s a satisfying explosion of a story behind this story. Some authors tend to build it up then give a disappointing plot behind the secrets 😂 it falls flat.

Dub-con has become quite common across lots of dark romance unfortunately. I tend to skip past the sex scenes because they’re all repetitive now 😂 in my head, I just think they’ve had a really good time and now can’t stop wanting the other because they’re the BEST 😂 it all seems to follow this pattern.

I am hoping for more of Caz’s point of view, I like duet povs in stories so I know what the other is thinking and feeling.

I like having steamy scenes in the second half of the book, I hate it when they start doing it at the beginning, its like ab baaki story mein reh kya gaya hai, no anticipation left And usually its only the first scene that is good to read, after that the rest are just repetitive.

For me, it's the opposite. Lack of consent is ick for me. I just can't do it.

Anything else is ok, as long as all parties have consented

Yes! Reverse Harem or vice versa I cannot do.

I do enjoy some cheating books where there’s angst and the one cheated on moves on and the cheater suffers. There are some I’ve read where the main characters cheated with each other and it doesn’t even make sense.

There’s no justification of the cheating - like I know nothing can justify but there isn’t like a strong, solid explanation to why they cheated.

Same, I am hoping we will get more from Caz point of view.

What chapter are you on now? I’m going to read 9&10 soon.

I will read Chapter 9 when I go to bed.

What timezone are oyu in?

Also, yes, I think Prof Merlin is shady af. He's definitely involved in some of the cult business - and he seems to not like Caz much, so maybe Caz has something on him?

I think he may also be involved in Olivia's case.

I will finish 9 & 10 today (I'm sticking to IST dates cos I'm 12 hours behind)

I initially thought the same about Merlin but it cant be that simple, I think the writer wants us to suspect Merlin but there will be some twist.

I havent read anything by runyx before, so I have nothing to compare it with, but I do agree with you. I'm still not able to get hooked. I mean the story isn't bad, I do wanna continue reading, I just feel it's going too slow and too much descriptions, not enough action.

I don't like books which have smut. I feel like there should be emotional chemistry between the couple, when the build up is really strong, it's good when such scenes are placed there. That's why insta love is mist no- no for me

Lol yes 😂

It’s good thing you haven’t got anything to compare it to yet.

I did a sneak peak at reviews on Goodreads and many have compared the writing and how this one seems so slow compared to the dark verse series.

Dark verse series is full of action, twists and turns and so much mystery, suspense. My favourite series from her and hoped this would come to a close second.
