Narration: 🎤🎤.5/5
“I can still feel you inside of me. I can still taste you. Hear you. You’ve invaded all of my senses, Sem. I don’t want anyone else but you. You have to know that.”
I almost didn’t read this because I didn’t like Whit or the Inevitable duet, so I was planning on cutting ties with Cora Rose altogether. But there was just something about Magnus and Sem from Whit that had me curious so I kept this on the back burner of my TBR and I am so glad I did.
I don’t mind suspending reality a bit for a good story. Was this at all realistic? Maybe, maybe not. But the chemistry between Sem and Maggie was off the charts. The first spicy scene literally had me fanning myself. It was obvious Sem was smitten as a kitten from the beginning, but I actually really enjoyed the build up on Magnus’s part. This series should’ve been named Inevitable because that’s how it felt when they finally got together.
The book isn’t marketed as such, but this gave semi-dark romance vibes. Sem was very “touch him and die” about Maggie and I loved every second of it. Honestly I just loved every second of everything. If this book was 1,000 pages I would’ve stayed sat for all of it.
Maggie is my favorite kind of character. I have the biggest soft spot for spitfire twinks. But honestly Sem weaseled his way into my black heart and I wasn’t expecting it at all. Every time he got a POV I was close to tears. I just loved both of them, individually and together. The way their “relationship” started, their intimacy, the spice… Everything was just perfect. Well, the third act breakup kinda sucked but I’ll excuse it.
This book also made me really interested in reading Emery too, so I guess I haven’t written off Cora Rose. Sorry for doubting you, queen.
As for the audiobook, blah. I wish I’d looked at the narrators before I bought it. I LOVE Liam DiCosimo, he’s my all-time favorite narrator. But Alexander Cendese… There’s just something about his voice that grates on my soul, and it was him for like 80% of the book. And the fact that he kind of ruined Maggie, one of my most favorite characters, for me sucks.
