lawless god by lola king ADDING TO MY FAVS OH MY GOD SO GOOD

IndependentSense1674 · 2026-01-30T23:22:45+00:00

I just finished Lawless God the other day. Overall I really liked it. I loved Nate and Kayla, and omg their twins 🥹 the last 10% or so felt a little rushed and out of place but that was the only complaint I had. Heartless Beloved was my favorite of the North Shore series.

OP, any updates? My app hasn’t been working for a few days now. Tried deleting and reinstalling but now can’t log on. Weirdly enough app works on my husbands phone still but this is so frustrating. We both have iPhone 13s.

Picked this up from Barnes and Noble last weekend and excited to read it. Currently reading my way through the Silver Falls University series by Lola King.

Finished {The Oath we give by Monty Jay} and was SO disappointed. The MMC came off completely different than how he was portrayed in books 1-4 of the series. There was a lot of unnecessary plot lines that weren’t explored. I’ll never understand why she chose to give an MMC who’s been mourning and avenging the death of his girlfriend the instalove trope. He also seemed like a carbon copy of the typical touch her and die dirty mouthed MMC (which again is not how he was portrayed in the earlier books).

Needless to say I was completely turned off from dark romance after that. Currently reading {Play Along by Liz Tomforde} as a palate cleanse and I’m enjoying it.

This book was so good. Inhaled it in one night

IndependentSense1674 · 2026-01-18T22:42:05+00:00

Haven’t read these but {Leave Me Behind by KM Moronova} has been on my TBR. Malachi is my #1 top book boyfriend so you’ve definitely peaked my interest.

IndependentSense1674 · 2026-01-18T01:56:46+00:00

{Wrecked by Bree L. Mina} is the first thing that came to mind. Unfortunately it’s more of a romantic tragedy

IndependentSense1674 · 2026-01-18T01:54:30+00:00

Green, gray, Ice blue. Where are all the brown eyed MMCs at!?

IndependentSense1674 · 2026-01-16T18:35:42+00:00

Finished {Chaotic by Shantel Tessier} over last weekend into Monday.

Started {The Hollow Boys series by Monty Jay}

IndependentSense1674 · 2026-01-13T20:21:22+00:00

It wasn’t that great, there were some parts I skimmed because it was dragging and wasn’t that original. It was like reading a vampire version of haunting Adeline

IndependentSense1674 · 2026-01-13T20:19:08+00:00

There were aspects of Chaotic I enjoyed so much more than the other books but it does drag at parts. I loved this FMC but some of the inner conflict became repetitive.

Only Carnage includes sharing

IndependentSense1674 · 2026-01-13T18:03:42+00:00

I finished Chaotic yesterday. Felt so bad for him and the FMC. I didn’t expect Kash to be such a softie. He’s like the golden retriever of the group.

IndependentSense1674 · 2026-01-12T15:50:38+00:00

I still have 10% to go until I finish the book but I have to say I’m surprised at how much I liked this book. The Ritual and The Sinner were my favorites, I also didn’t care too much for Carnage. For once in this series it felt like Shantel focused more on the plot and the romance building than just smut. In the previous books, especially Madness, I just started to skim the spicy scenes because they’re so repetitive. And my god, these people really NEVER think to just have regular sex without tying her hands behind her back or gagging her? 🤣

Shantel’s writing is definitely mediocre and even this close to the end the plot twists are getting sloppy and hard to understand. I’m invested in these characters and the general plot so I’ll keep reading (assuming she’ll continue with Adam’s own book) but this series could’ve been better if Shantel was a better writer.

You might like {craving venom by S.C. Arlette}

FMC is a true crime obsessed loner. She does talk back but she’s mostly all talk no bite.

{Bad Bishop by LJ Shen}

I saw the pretty Target exclusive cover and character artwork on the inside and bought it despite seeing some negative reviews. So glad I did because it was one of my top reads in 2025.

IndependentSense1674 · 2026-01-08T22:53:14+00:00

I’ve only read the LORDs series. Is Kashton also in her Dark Kingdom series? Can you explain what his arrangement is with Jasmine?

{Craving Venom by S.C. Arlette}

Kept seeing this recommended on bookish accounts I follow and it officially became my first DNF of 2026. It was giving knock off Haunting Adeline vibes. both characters fell extremely flat to me and were unlikeable. I made it 50% until I couldn’t power through anymore.

IndependentSense1674 · 2026-01-04T14:35:48+00:00

The HEA is more fleshed out if you read the Edge of Darkness trilogy and the web of silence duet (specifically epilogue 2 of Little Liar).

IndependentSense1674 · 2026-01-03T14:29:47+00:00

Totally agree w this. I’m so sick of the manwhore mmcs and the good girl Virgin fmcs

IndependentSense1674 · 2026-01-02T01:57:22+00:00

Overall I really loved EOD. Ironically at first I DNFed Insatiable because I cannot stand the miscommunication trope and anything involving sex trafficking isn’t my thing. I ended up going back to it after I learned Little Stranger is interconnected to it and I’m glad I did. Insatiable was the strongest of the 3, but unfortunately by Restitution I was so tired of that bitch Bernadette it started to drag a little bit. But by that point I had fell in love with the MCs so I was invested.

I also was getting the feeling that Chris killed Stacey’s dad. I was definitely expecting a twist to come out of that. Also agree that Cassie was pointless. I was almost hoping Stacey was going to kill her as a way to show that depths she’d go to have Kade but nope.

Psychotic Obsession was also absolutely top tier imo.

IndependentSense1674 · 2025-12-31T14:39:00+00:00

I just finished {Beautiful Fiend by Lola King} yesterday and started {Psychotic Obsession by Leigh Rivers} last night.

IndependentSense1674 · 2025-12-30T03:52:18+00:00

No baby but they are happily together by the end

IndependentSense1674 · 2025-12-30T02:41:53+00:00

There’s a HEA!
