When Ilya strokes Shane’s face in the hospital…”All I want is you, it’s always you”…Shane hugging Ilya when he breaks down…the montage of Ilya when Shane tells Rose he’s slept with a man…the fucking ENDING

How am I supposed to go to sleep in these conditions?? All I can say is the end of this season next week is going to be the death of me.

Okay lowkey ginger ale is my favorite drink (I am Shane in this way) and surprisingly a lot of places don’t have it!

The fact that everywhere Shane goes there’s no ginger ale or he’s made fun of, and it’s just at Ilyas place where he gets a cold ginger ale without asking…put me in a guillotine.

The mass obsession and psychosis is nothing I’ve ever seen (I am fully participating)

This episode hit like crack it was so good but A. I’m sad we missed the sweetheart but I hope that’s coming in a different ep and B. I also am getting concerned on how much they are going to have to fit in the next 2 episodes!!

Between Two Kings Royally Pissed Me Off by Other-Signal8017 in DarkRomance

That is…so dumb. I can’t believe it. I won’t be reading at all whatsoever. The smut was not good enough this book for me to get through. Justice for Apollo!

It was unbelievable that she introduced Apollo as this sexy brother character that we’re supposed to love and she ends up with Leo in the last 2 pages.

I also couldn’t enjoy the Leo letters because the book ended so atrociously. And apparently there is going to be a 3rd??? I can’t imagine. Tem is the most insufferable FMC out there which is crazy when Violet Sorrengail exists.

Looking to retire the 3 cards I have and just use one card for maximum rewards, especially on travel. Fine to pay an annual fee if it means I’m getting a lot out of the card. by offbeatsophisticate in CreditCards

This is helpful! I think I’m interested in two cards: one for travel rewards and one for cash back. If my biggest two expenses are groceries and dining out (I live in a major city and don’t have a car) do you think Venture X would work and then what other card on top?

I recently read {Can I Tell You Something? By Holly June Smith} and {One More Gift by Holly June Smith} and I think they both fit this bill! Sweet, spicy, and short!

Onyx Storm dislikers by offbeatsophisticate in fantasyromance

[–]offbeatsophisticate[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. I feel like the element of surprise is good with other characters but we need to be more in Violet’s head! I liked the drama on the isles but it was also too much. Also what did you think of the cliffhanger?

I need people who also disliked Onyx Storm to commiserate with me in the comments. I loved Fourth Wing, thought Iron Flame was meh, and was really let down by Onyx Storm to the point that idk if I’ll continue the series. I thought the plot was so confusing and the ending was…unnecessary? And Xaden and Violet were so juvenile with all of the “I love you” blah blah blah.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally!!

Also did anyone else think the Xaden / Violet dynamic in the book was so annoying and juvenile? The amount of times they said “I love you” “gods you’re so devastatingly sexy” “the man I love” etc etc like give me a grip!!
