this series is really really funny, the protagonist is so sassy!!! This last book is college setting so it's New adult but you'll have to suffer through two books with high school drama, teen angst and immature protagonists.
Many of us hate YA!!!! But this is more NA so it's worth it, believe me, so so funny,
Read if you miss Willa Knight from the Curse of the Gods series, Hell, yes!!!!!
Thank you, Sara!!! Thank you so much, . .
After all that we 've been through together with Jack and Isis, . .
After so much pain, loss and heartbreakin' you finally did it!!!
You make me happy!!!!
In the beggining, things weren't good.
. . It was worst than ever!
Jack left everything behind, including Isis and run away, . .
He was scared after Sofia's death, . .
He thought that he was responsible about her pain, . .
So he run away because of the fear of hurting Isis, too, . .
Isis after lots of pain, and with her eternal humor, she started her new life in college, . .
She met new people and she was trying to forget all about Jack, . .
But one day she run on her old love, Nameless, . .
And the torture began once more, . .
But from a twist of luck, Jack has joined the same college, . .
And the things get complex once again, . .
Jack tried really hard to stay away from her, . .
And Isis tried really hard not to want him, . .
Well, they tried to be just friends, . .
Ha,ha!!! They didn't make it, . . That was impossible!!!
"I want you, Isis, Not as a friend. Not as an enemy.
But as the most beautiful girl i've ever known, "
Ah!!! That story was so, . . beautiful!!!
I feel so pity that finally ended,
The companion of this book make me thrilled, . . It kept me always on the edge, . .
My feelings was twisted all the time, . .
Anger, pain, joy, sadness, pleasant, laughing Lots of laughing with Isi's hillarious attitude, crying, screaming, . .
I felt every god damn feeling and even more!!!!
Isis, Jack, Kayla, Wren and the others, . . I will miss you guys!!! Very much, . .
Just casually spiraling out of control from how much this book means to me
Thats right motherfuckers theres a third book: Isis Blake is back and she gonna live her best life out of spite
“Im a freshmen.
Undecided. Nuclear Thermophysics. Culinary Arts. Depends on how I feel when I wake up that day, ”
She is off to college and as a current student I definitely felt a connection on the transition period.
Shes in a new place away from her defining family, Shes been hurt and gone through so much shit and it has honestly changed her
“So I just kept it.
A braver Isis wouldve used it, A notguilty Isis wouldve used it, ”
But thats not her anymore, and she cant pretend to be,
“But Sophia was her redemption, her idol, her friend, If I lost all three of those, Id be broken, too, ”
Goddamn it my heart
Finally, the slow burn romance is working up to something, . . but its not just some happy lala land, But this book wasnt all existential crisis! It was pretty fucking funny too
The classic struggle of college stress, . .
“My life is over, ”
I get up and collapse next to her on the bed,
“Finally. Time to die. ”
Making new relationships, . .
“She puffs out her cheeks and stands, “Anyway, I like you but youre ruining my life, Bye. ”
BITCH MEEEEEEE
The parties, this one right here is for all the millenials in the crowd,
“Is this just” I pause and listen to the speakers, “Is this just someone saying ass on repeat”
Kieran stops, looks up, and starts laughing, “Holy shit, youre right. Whats happened to music”
Jack Hunter the asshole is here too but his POV has developed and become more open about his feelings.
Seeing beneath the whole ice prince bullshit
“Im broken, shattered like a mirror of lies, She would try to pick up my pieces and only cut her delicate fingers on them”
And i didnt cry once.
. .
As predicted, there was more plot development that was outside of college, . . hint hint mafia shit and it was dark and fucking awesome, I mean really who just wants ti read about college life but these two psycopaths hate/love while mafia and like damn boi
“She shudders, hugging herself and laughing harder.
“Im nobody important. ”
You are the sun, I try to say”
MY HEARTTT GODDAMN IT JACK TELL HER HOW YOU FUCKING FEELL I CANT TAKE THIS
Isis also feels hurt and depressed and is open about fears that I know myself and many others feel ourselves
“Every second I watch them touch is every second further the darkness drills into my head.
No one will ever look at me like that, No one will feel that deeply for me, No one will treat me that tenderly, No one will ever love me like that, ”
I literarlly need this book to be less relatable because it is literarlly ridicous how much of myself I saw on these pages, it physically hurts feeling my own inner thoughts written out
“I see what you mean now,” She says.
“Someone like you, so vibrant and funny, is rarely tired, It must be so strange
for you when you are, ”
Sometimes you just feel so exhausted and tired of being so vibrant for everyone else, You know how you should feel or act or be, but you just cant right now,
Overall Im so happy the sequel andthis finale lived up to its height and honestly I enjoyed the maturity and situations more than the first book with high school.
And with that Ill leave you with one last quote cuz as you can tell I really loved this books writing style and just had so so many good lines and topics
“and I hate myself, I hate who I used to be and I hate who Im trying to be and the people I loved betrayed me, and I betrayed myself, but I hid it away instead of teling, telling somebody, anybody.
” “I want you, Isis, Not as a friend. Not as an enemy. But as the most beautiful girl Ive ever known, ”
BRUTAL PRECIOUS WAS GREAT, It made me smile, laugh and cry,
THERE WERE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL WORDS
“Id be honored to try marriage with you ” Jack
smiles.
“ you big stupid idiot. ”
I love you, But what kind of barbed love could I offer her Im broken, shattered like a mirror of lies, She would try to pick up my pieces and only cut her delicate fingers on them,
AND FUNNY MOMENTS
“Wrap your willy before you get silly,” I remind.
Jack facepalms spectacularly and I count at it
as a victory because at least he is not sadlooking, he is somethingelselooking and its not much, but
its better than sad.
I growl and push her gently back on the pillows, “And you,” I inhale her wrist, her hair,
etween her breasts, which earns me a squeal and a bop on the head.
“You smell like summer and
innamon, I could eat you. I will eat you,” I add, Isis flushes.
“IIf I had known you were into cannibalism, I would nnot have agreed to this in the first
lace, ”
“Hey there, who are you here to see” He asks,
“Um,” My brain scrabbles for a reason, and like all good brains, makes me blurt the first thing
that comes to mind instead.
“Jesus. Christ. ”
Sara has really done it again, I'm happy about the ending and sad that it's all over, I'm gonna miss Isis and Jack so much, Mostly Isis because she's really a cool funny girl, And I'm thankful to Sara Wolf for introducing these amazing characters to us that will forever be in our hearts, . . my heart.
Kyle laughs, “God, youre cool. ”
“Its been said,” I agree, “Screamed, really. By my enemies. Just before I decapitate them, ”
It feels like I was waiting forever for this book and I was so looking forward to reading the conclusion to Isis and Jack's story.
It opens several months after the funeral and Isis is trying to get on with her life in the wake of Jack's sudden departure.
She moves to college, strikes up some new friendships and is trying to move forward when Nameless shows up on campus, Then Jack makes an appearance and her heart starts to hurt all over again, Jack is battling his feelings and he's determined to stay away from Isis before he ruins another girl that he loves,
I enjoyed that we got dual POV here and it helped because otherwise, I think I would have done a total Uturn on my feelings for Jack.
He's in a whole world of pain and shutting Isis out from misguided protection, but at least I could understand where it was coming from.
Isis is her usual crazy, nutty self and I loved how she didn't apologize for that, I felt her fear with Nameless but she was strong and brave in the end confrontation,
When our couple finally admits their feelings the romance was everything I had been hoping for and more, This pair is so perfect together and I loved it!
I love my angst and drama and this book had enough of that to hold my attention.
I also adore Sara's writing style and her prose is great, Without a shadow of a doubt, the best thing about this series are the two mains and the funny witty banter between them.
Sometimes Isis behavior was downright cringy but I've got to give kudos to Sara for creating a unique, refreshingly different one a kind female heroine.
She has her flaws and her strengths and she undergoes great development as the series progresses, Jack is an unlikely male hero in some ways but no less interesting and definitely swoon worthy, Characterization was superb.
However, there were a few issues that stopped me from rating this five, The first quarter of the book is very slow moving and not much happens, I've been waiting for three books for our couple to get together and they only did at themark on my kindle I just didn't get enough of their romance or enough scenes of them together and the epilogue felt rushed and unsatisfactory.
The other issue I have is with the Nameless subplot it lacked depth and credibility as a result and I think more could've been done with it.
In summary, though, this was a stellar conclusion to a fabulous series and one I wouldn't hesitate to recommend,
Thanks to Entangled Teen for providing an ARC of this book, which I have voluntarily reviewed, This review will appear on my blog on Junend sitelink com.
