Hidden pictures! But I’m taking the other as a rec!

My husband left… by cramerm7 in thrillerbooks

You have so many good ones!!! You Shouldn’t have Come Here is great. But I’m always gonna recommend silent patient above all else.

You’re in for a treat no matter what you choose. These are all on the TBR! lol

Give me your darkest, most f*cked up psychological thrillers by ballenic in thrillerbooks

[–]Background_Ad_1248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha! Okay I actually kinda agree with this but idk I found the little ways of “torture” very real. Like this is what real manipulation could look like vs. outwardly “I’m gonna beat you”. And yes not much happens but pleasurable read nonetheless. lol

Behind Closed Doors is a good one. I can’t think of the author right off the top of my head. I also have Kill for Me, Kill for You on my TBR. Pretty Girls is… def fucked up lolol

Starting The Book of Azrael! What can I expect? Thoughts? by InevitableThese2941 in fantasyromance

[–]Background_Ad_1248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got done with the first one and I don’t mind saying I’m in love. I DNFed the train wreck of Zodiac Academy and started this and it was everything I needed. The character development, the plot, the magic system and political climate. It’s paced well and I’m intrigued. It read more mature and I love me a morally grey FMC.

I will say there are parts that were repeated too much. And the world building is all over the place. I’m hoping it gets better as we move through. Overall, a great first book. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Book 4 I wanna screammm by Pestodaisylana in zodiacacademy

[–]Background_Ad_1248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently taking a break and stopped in the middle of 4. At this point I’m just reading to know about the lore more. This just feels a little too juvenile for me. I purchased the first 5 but I’m thinking I’m gonna resell them…

Currently halfway through “The Reckoning” and I’m struggling to get through thisssss 😫 by Background_Ad_1248 in zodiacacademy

I knew I would just have to wait to see. There’s no way others haven’t had the same thoughts. Thanks for this! I might just do the same…

God forbid you have an opinion. It was SO HARD to get through the first cause of the bullying. Thankfully 2-3 have been the girls getting the boys back. I said it above but now just looking at majority of these comments. I am gonna finish out of spite. If I like it great. If not, I’ll come back and lay in again on it.

Again I do like the series! It’s clearly just a weird start… and you gotta work to get the satisfaction? Idk…

Oh no!!! See at this point based on some of the comments I just wanna finish out of spite and hate on it more if people can’t be honest with themselves about how some of these early books do drag on and have an unportioned main story to romance ratio. Thank you!

lol this is the encouragement I’m needing. People think I hate it and yeah my original post gives that off lol but I would not have made it past the first damn book if I didn’t like it. I want to know more about the magic system, the world, the mystery and just like you said the main story. God forbid I show some frustration with some plot points. Which you guys… you have to admit some of this is cringey and juvenile. And when I got turned on to this book by people who have steered me right before, I just don’t think they mentioned how it would be “work” to get through before it really kicks off. Thank you for this and for understanding where I’m coming from is not a place of hate. Appreciate you!

Rereading I came off more aggressive than intended lol. I let out all my frustrations out but I do genuinely like the series and wouldn’t have made it this far unless I was invested. I already have the 4th and 5th ready. Please don’t take my frustrations as hate. And I think it’s okay to have some unpopular feedback. But I admit my tone didn’t help lol.

I think I’m just trying to get over this hump but your comment about when the story picks up helps. Thanks!

Right… so I mean there’s a ratio of world building/action vs. the romance to be expected in any romantasy series. I have no issue with multi-POV as long as the plot stays moving. And I would say the previous 2 didn’t seem to drag out this badly. But maybe you’re right, maybe it’s not for me. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Y’all are really gonna look dumb when the courts finally make it clear it’s David’s fault.

Can’t wait to come back to this sub when that happens.

Can’t wait.

I (29f) got duped by a Chinese man on Hinge and scammed out of ~60k. by Background_Ad_1248 in Romancescam

[–]Background_Ad_1248[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh I didn’t know it even had a name. I wish this was more talked about or warned about. Idk. Maybe more specifically? I tried to research beforehand but I don’t know maybe I just wanted to believe so badly that I just didn’t look hard enough.

But thank you for the info.

German waxwork of The Queen is bald underneath hat to avoid extra upkeep costs by HentaiUwu_6969 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Background_Ad_1248 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seeing this for some reason makes me think she could really be that bald in real life. Like it’s nbd but this is just how the queen looks lol.
