I am not allowed to start Sherlock society and city spies crossover fanfic until I have at least finished the book, actually.

"Right now, I’m not a dark forces war dog who cuts throats, and she’s not the heartless soldier who blows brains out without blinking. Instead we’re two wounded creatures, circling one another in our cage, curious about what will happen if we give in and collide."

I came across this book through a bookstagram reel by the author (unknown to me at the time) promoting it in a way that did not deliver on the expectations that the reel had created. This is a contemporary, dark military romance novel that follows the bully romance trope and I would strongly suggest you read the content warnings before reading. I would only recommend this is if you enjoy dark, violent romances and more spice than plot.

Spoilers below cut.

I'm not new to a bully romance, but with Bones and Bunny I felt like his redemption arc never really balanced out his actions. There is dub/non con moments that were simply dismissed or excused as kinks for both characters involved. I feel like Bunny's masochistic feelings were forced into the character as a way to not have Bones need to redeem for such actions. I also feel like the emotional relationship between the two accelerated too quickly and, thus, was not developed properly. It seemed more like a lust not love based relationship.

Plus, once Jenkins is reintroduced, the plot loses itself, creating an unsatisfying ending. I would have DNF'd it had I not been stubborn about knowing if it maybe got good by the end (it didn't). I only gave it above a 5/10 rating bc sometimes you gotta read some smutty stuff to get the edge off. But I would not recommend unless desperate.

Current record-holder for unnecessary ebook font-embed bloat: this 23MB Arial is never actually used. But it appears in a couple unused classes in the stylesheet, preventing the Calibre autofixer from recognizing it as "not referenced" and removing it.

I found an alternate universe version of Platonic Madwheeler in one of my Jacqueline Wilson (a British children's author that I used to be *obsessed* with) books

both the lesbian books i checked out are fucking duds. thought this one was a vampire lesbian romance where both women were woc from china but it's really some italian bitch indulging her dead brothers obsession with china walking around being a fucking tourist. 'ive only been here a month but ik shanghai so intimately' 'the cashiers at this store all look alike even when they're not the same person' SHUT YOUR STUPID WHITE ASS UP
