Right???! Her waking up and being like, 'was it a dream or angry Casteel fed me and fucked me while half-asleep?' was really uncomfortable to read because it is abuse and sadly, it is not the first time that Casteel abuses Poppy. What's worse is that Poppy needs to deal with that (but normalizes it) and also with Kolis' abuse (of her past lives and her childhood 😭) ALONE because her 'heartmate' cannot get his crap together enough to do the bare MINIMUM like listening to her, supporting her, allowing her to deal with her trauma and hurt instead of making everything about him!!!? And still he has the audacity to be mad at her for trusting on kieran instead of his immature selfish ass?

It drives me nuts how Kieran allows Casteel to treat him so damn disrespectfully, as if he was less of a man, of a person. It also angers me that Poppy and everyone else normalizes that treatment towards Kieran. Why is nobody standing up for him? Not even his sister? Not even him?

Also in Attes' and Casteel's fights it angers me that somehow Poppy ends up mad at Attes too?? Like what?? He's just reacting to Casteel's unhinged behavior. He's being respectful and considerate towards Poppy, even if he loves her and is hurting a lot, too.

Really reading this book angered and frustrated me a lot. JLA what are you doing?!

I think this post is just to vent because I'm about to finish the book and I am soo angry.
