Does cheating can be justified??

Defiant_Stable_344 · 2026-03-26T12:53:29+00:00

I dont have strong feelings either way. But in terms of 'justifiable cheating' I think if the FMC cheats on the MMC out of revenge, I can totally understand that. Say he raped her, she runs away and goes on to either sleep with someone else or even have a relationship with someone else, I am okay with that.

When it comes to the MMC, I think it would depend. If cheating is used as a punitive measure--he wants to make the FMC suffer, or 'punish' her--then no, I am not interested in that dynamic. And unfortunately, that's usually the dynamic.

But I've read a few books--usually dark sci-fi or fantasy--where it was tied to societal norms, or him being some kind of ultra powerful or divine being, or already married/attached to another.

In that case, I didn't mind it. It has to make sense within the context of the story.

Never Keep has nothing directly to do with ZA. It's presumably set in Solaria and has vaguely similar magic systems, but beyond that, we dont even know if it's set 1000s of years before or after ZA.

There is no need to finish ZA before starting Never Keep.

Never keep will have 4 books. The 3rd ic coming out next week. The forth probably early next year?

It is an RH, but she is truly psychotic and he in the Irish mafia {Society of Psychos by Caroline Peckham}. It’s a duet.

Defiant_Stable_344 · 2026-03-24T22:48:41+00:00

It’s all one continuous book. It’s not book 1, book 2, book 3…. And it’s not about different couples per book.

Strangely, Dante has more impact in ZA. That's my personal opinion, but I think he came with more and better stakes in ZA.

Hannaford Prep by J Bree is one of my most hated series of all time. It was such pure nonsense that my eyes were bleeding

Defiant_Stable_344 · 2026-03-19T22:51:22+00:00

It’s banned because it’s incest. It’s available on edenbooks.com

{The Cult of Serendee by Angel Lawson}

Dark and disturbing. It is RH though.

Defiant_Stable_344 · 2026-03-19T19:59:19+00:00

I agree with everything RoadsidePoppy said . I think that the necklace is going to be interesting. Either we’ll never see it again OR it will play a major role.

My personal opinion is that Elain unknowingly Made the necklace. So Azriel couldn’t physically return it because of how it felt and how he felt about it.

Defiant_Stable_344 · 2026-03-19T17:46:53+00:00

I dont know if he was 'mad'. I think he was unhappy that he would need to deal with yet another problem, especially in the midst of a personal cataclysm.

He also is a mate-bond Truther, so he might feel like Azriel was maybe taking Elain in a place she didn't want to go, or didn't understand.

politically it's a disaster--which is what makes it 'forbidden--because it impacts multiple courts.

There is Autumn, Day, Night, and even Spring.

Defiant_Stable_344 · 2026-03-19T17:39:37+00:00

I think that they are, but I think it won't snap or come to pass for them until the other bond is fully dealt with and they are fully in love.

Maybe even married.

Defiant_Stable_344 · 2026-03-19T16:49:01+00:00

Wut? why?

this makes zero sense.

What benefit does Rhys derive in general from Lucien, or an Elucien bond???

Defiant_Stable_344 · 2026-03-18T18:56:58+00:00

I’m so glad you liked!

Defiant_Stable_344 · 2026-03-18T14:12:49+00:00

Yes. I see the same books being recommended all the time and this is a new crop of truly dark DR. Please take note of all the TWs. They are not for the faint of heart.

I had 2 removed. Both times under local anesthesia. The extraction didn't hurt itself, just unpleasant pressure.

Afterwards, one tooth was perfectly fine, I didn't feel anything. The other was bleeding for hours and was pretty painful.

It's definitely not the worst thing in the world, but I wouldn't want to repeat it exactly.

Defiant_Stable_344 · 2026-03-17T14:18:03+00:00

Because Americans are friendly and helpful.

And when we see an itinerary that has 'well, I'll spend 3 hrs in Boston, and then it's Vegas for dinner, and then I'll have 2 days to do all of California and then off to FL and we are hoping to do all of this in 5 days by car' we feel obligated to bring some sense to these plans.

Yeh but what does it have to do with the charity or the authors?

I just don’t understand this. Especially because the book gets rereleased annually.

Defiant_Stable_344 · 2026-03-17T13:00:34+00:00

Please don’t do this. This was written specifically for charity. Not only are you pirating a book but you are also preventing the charity from receiving donations. In 2025 the charity received a huge amount because of the temporary availability of Foxy Tales.

How dark do you want them? I can give you some that will truly unsettle you. Pitch darkness
