This book was so good and, everything I expected and more. The complexity of AI bots intermingling in society and how they are not that far off from humanity as one might’ve thought, is a scary feeling to realize especially with how far AI is progressing in real life.

This book felt very insta-lusty between the mc’s since they only saw each other once or twice before they thought of the other sexually. This is a dark bully romance involving murder and gore, so check the tw’s!!

This book was such a mind fuck. Every time I thought I knew some thing, there would be a twist that had me creating new theories.

Love that the romance subplot of the story was between two childhood rivals bc their banter was so cute and from the reader’s perspective you could definitely tell just how much they acted like they didn’t get along knowing Cara and Zach wanted each other🤭 the epilogue ended off on a cliffhanger so I’m interested in seeing what the plot of the potential sequel will look like.

Dnf at 83% bc this book felt so slow yet the plot itself went by extremely quick. They fucked once and she ends up getting pregnant, they happen to see each other by chance six months later and after spending one week together they’re suddenly sooo in love with each other?? Talk about unrealistic. I really wanted to give this book a chance bc I thought they’d at least have time to fall in love throughout her pregnancy but after constantly fucking throughout the baby moon vacation they’re each other’s “soulmate” and I didn’t sign up for an insta-love romance. His sister and best friend had every right to feel a certain way about how quick the relationship between Tessi and Solomon progressed bc you’re telling me he was a grieving widow for 7 YEARS then had 1 one night stand and is suddenly eager to be with her and get married again? Be ffr.

Absolutely loved this book and the way it ended! Their daughter Maddie was a cutie pie from beginning to end and I’m so glad the mc’s were able to work it out together to give her the proper family their little one deserves 🥹🫶

A cute and fast-paced novel about a vampire gentleman falling for a broke artist after a century long coma.
