   I just pre-ordered Elle Kennedy's 5th book to the off-campus series "The Legacy"- I know the description says that it's about "where are they now". I was just wondering if you knew anymore details about the book.

   I understand your frustration with L J Shen's books I read them from the last to first book

   Hey Laura! Do some books recs where the female lead is established and has a business or something. With some chick flick vibe.. Feel me?

   We seem to agree on all books! Except:
   I tried to read the Addicted series and couldn't. They were so selfish and irritating people! So someone told me to skip and only read Hot House Flower and Long Way Down. Ryke and Daisy are the ONLY redeemable characters in that entire series. I've only read Vicious and liked it but I just haven't felt inclined to read the others, except maybe Banes book because of the topics in it. I also tried to read Thoughtless and the heroine in it was so annoying. She went back and forth too many times and I wanted to choke her at one point. I stopped about 75% in. Corrupt was a good read. But I haven't picked up the series since. A Court of Thorns and Roses is on my TBR.

   This is how I felt reading Gabriel’s Inferno trilogy and the Black Dagger brotherhood series. I had such high hopes for both since they came so highly recommended but I couldn’t get through the first book of either one. Not sure if it was the writing style or what. 🤷🏻‍♀️

   I’ve never read ACOTOR but when you said you’re not sure why it’s getting hyped back up earlier this year the newest book came out so that’s why!

   I love the addicted series. I’m on book 3 now and I am no pun intended….addicted to it. And I love that there are so many books about the same couple. Haven’t gotten that since After. I’m not really a fan of companion books which is what most end up being. I love a lot about the same couple ❤️❤️

   Mine are Four psychos and Kings of quarantine – it was a struggle!. I also only read Vicious and Corrupt in their series but it doesn't feel as bad to abandon companion novels than series with one plot 🙈

    You do not read ACOTAR to read ACOTAR. You read ACOTAR to read ACOMAF.

    I promise you, you are missing out. I’m #obsessed.

    Vicious is amazing omg and the rest of the series is amazing. Tbh the spinoff definitely better cough cough Broken Knight Supremacy Devils Night as-well tbh the first book was pretty boring but the other are amazing.🥺👏

    I'm exactly the same for Vicious, Corrupt and ACOTAR. You're definitely not alone!!

    1. Vicious – same reason, timeline jump and they kept getting cockblocked as adults killing the tension
    2. Corrupt – Penelope Douglas is my absolute favorite but something about the Devil's Night setup and the mystery I just couldn't get into
    3. ACOTAR – the popular YA fantasies all kind of blend together for me, especially fae books. not sure if it's the writing, world-building or the characters. when dystopia was a huge trend, that was easier to differentiate between series.

    I wasn’t really vibing with the main characters in Addicted to You either lol. Rose and Connor intrigued me, but not enough to continue on with the series.

    Corrupt is slow at the beginning, happened to me too.. But I kept on reading and it is definitlely goooood. Twisted, fucked up story and theres a secret… Vicious is good, normal but good… Slow too, once you understand why he hates her it gets better. Love from Costa Rica.

    Devils Night was the most overrated series I ever read. And I agree Vicious is the hardest Sinners of Saint to get through. The rest are much better!

    I have read like 8 books from L. J. Shen and I cannot read her books anymore. To me it feels like all the relationships are toxic and messed up. Definitely agree with all the books you listed 😂

    i had the SAME experience with corrupt and most of PD's books. i just found that I had to push through the first few chapters and then I was hooked. its one of my favs still

    GIRLL BUT PUNK 57 IT’S A SPIN OFF OF DEVILS NIGHT !!! However don't worry, the same thing happened to me with both Corrupt and Vicious, I couldn't go beyond the first few chapters and I tried so many times until I finally ended up devouring all the books. My advice is not to give up. Maybe now is not the time, with books this happens to me, there are moments and moments to read a certain book. So I tell you: wait for the right time to come, but trust me you absolutely must read both series (and SoS spin off series because they are amazing) because I'm sure you will go crazy, I think they are just your thing.

    Corrupt was so good. My fav out of the series for sure but there’s a “unnecessary” plot in the 75% part of the book but once you get past that, it was satisfying.

    I read the first book in the Addicted series as well and I have no interest in continuing it either.

    I read the first book in the Thoughtless series but the main female character annoyed and frustrated me. I will not be continuing the series.

    I read Corrupt by Penelope Douglas and enjoyed it. I am not sure why I have not continued the series.

    I also have not been able to get into The Court of Thorns series or The Throne of Glass series.
