It’s Top Ten Tuesday time! This week is all about my seasonal TBR rejects. These are the books I’ve put on the last couple of seasonal TBR’s that I still haven’t gotten to yet. I am definitely still interested in all of these titles so fingers crossed I get to them soon!

🌸 Spring TBR🌼

These are five of my favourite quotes from the last five books that I have read!!
The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager
“Why bother if you’re not going to give it your all?”
Book of Night by Holly Black
“Everyone loves the guy who brings ice.”
So Happy For You by Celia Laskey
“If you want to know the story of how my best friend and I ended up trying to kill each other, I should probably start with the night she asked me to be her maid of honour.”
Gods & Monsters by Shelby Mahurin
“Hope isn’t the sickness. It’s the cure.”
You’ve Lost a Lot of Blood by Eric LaRocca
“I didn’t kill him because I wanted to. That would have been too easy.”
*SPOILERS AHEAD*
After a heart breaking loss, Lou, Reid, Beau, and Coco are bent on vengeance more than ever before—and none more so than Lou. But this is no longer the Lou they thought they knew. No longer the Lou that captured a chasseur’s heart. A darkness has settled over her, and this time it will take more than love to drive it out.
This is a little hard to review as I didn’t leave this book with any lasting impressions, which I think in and of itself is quite telling. This was the finale in the series and for the majority of the book I was quite bored. One thing I think that made the book drag a little was the reoccurring theme of Lou and Reid being forced apart by one thing or another. First it was Lou being inhabited by Nicholina and then Reid losing his memories almost straight after it never gave us a chance to just enjoy the two of them for a little while before something else happened to keep them apart and their relationship was one of the things that I liked most from this series.
Reid losing his memories and reverting back to his old chasseur mindset really got on my nerves. I understand it was a way to acknowledge just how much he and Lou are meant to be even if he knew she was a witch before they got married. But I just feel like it was unnecessary to revisit this when this was the main obstacle between them in the first book.
There was also too many side quests that they had to go on before the inevitable stand off with Morgane. They had to expel Nicholina then go back to the chateau to steal a necklace, we’ve already travelled all over this world in the second book I wasn’t really all that interested in the continuous journey they were on. I would of appreciated learning more about the different gods and digging more into the history of the witches.
