this book was insane. at first i wasn’t sure if i could get through this book because of how intimidating it is, but wow. i loved the characters and i loved the relationships between the characters. it was just such an interesting book and the multiple perspectives were so fun. i really really enjoyed this book.

i had to read it for school. i didn’t hate it. i thought it helped give me a better outlook on life and i enjoyed hearing his stories about SEAL training, i had never really gotten an overview of it before so it was very interesting to hear about.

THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD!!!! eclipse was kind of disappointing for me so this book was just that much better. i love bella so much and her becoming a vampire was easily one of, if not my favorite part of this series. she handled it all so flawlessly and her tolerance to humans was amazing to me. also, i didn’t understand at first why there had to be a whole section from jacobs point of view but i really enjoyed it. yes, jacob is annoying, but i loved getting to see the whole situation through his eyes, and it made me like him a little bit better.

wow okay. jacob sucks ⁉️⁉️i definitely wasn’t expecting THAT from him, but now i hate him so that’s great i guess. bella also kinda sucks and im happy that she at least realizes it. anyways, this book made me feel a lot of things but mostly anger. honestly, it was pretty good.

i watched the movies when i was younger and i don’t remember much from them, but i wanted to get back into this series so i decided to read the books. this book so good and i can’t wait to read the next ones. it was definitely a little cringe but nowhere near the movies

this was cute. i liked it a lot more than the first one. but i’m still a little disappointed that we never got the ending of the story of the very first automa and how she died, idk i was just curious about that kind of

this book was okay. it was very slow at first and i didnt really love the whole plot, but i did really enjoy seeing crier and ayla’s relationship throughout the story. their feelings for eachother felt so real and i just loved that. however i did find ayla slightly (very) annoying towards the end. i understand why she feels how she does, but man was she annoying. also, i wish we had gotten an excerpt from when that first queen kills kierra because im so curious as to how that went down, but maybe it will be in the sequel?

for me, i kind of knew the whole time who the DT killer/pips stalker was, i don’t know if holly jackson purposefully wrote it that way so it was easier for the reader to figure out or what. also the fact that everything that i expected to happen had happened halfway through made me so curious as to what else was going to happen. holy shit. that’s all i have to say. but also i’ve been crying at the last few chapters for a while

i liked it a lot, it definitely wasn’t as eventful as the first one but i still enjoyed it. I always loved nat and i’m so so happy that she doesn’t hate pip anymore. ravi and pip are so cute together in this book, but i wish we got to see more of ravi throughout the story. i also loved the fact that i would’ve NEVER expected it to end like that.
LIKE WYDM STANLEY FORBES KIDNAPPED JAMIE BUT THEY ENDED UP BEING FRIENDS (kinda) WDYM STANLEY WAS A SERIAL KILLERS SON AND WDYM PIPS NEIGHBOR HAD A LIFELONG GOAL OF KILLING HIM. i never in a million years would’ve expected it to turn out like that
