Take a shot jedes Mal, wenn jemand in dieser Buchreihe brummt, krächzt, murmelt oder raunt - try not to get drunk challenge level impossible

No but seriously, wenn ich noch einmal “er brummt” lese, werd ich aggressiv

Absolutely NOTHING happened in this book wow😍 außer der twist der letzten 4 Kapitel, der viel zu spät gekommen ist und extremely predictable war like girl we‘ve known since the first book

ember x wren most unnecessary side plot ever

i will reread the first book bc that was exactly my kind of fun trash

ACH JA ich packs einfach gar nicht, wie in absolut keinem Moment in dieser Serie jemals irgendwer die Beziehung von Lydia und Mr. Sutton hinterfragt HALLOOO?? „Wir haben und kennengelernt, bevor er mein Lehrer war“ ok pop off Aria und Ezra

eh it just wasn't fun anymore without the whole enemies to lovers thing lol now it's just like every other straight romance novel. didn't help that it's the second book of a trilogy
i will, however, be reading the third one as well just for closure lsdkhglskghkl (and then i'll go straight back to rereading the first one bc that was very entertaining)

Bruh die letzten zwei Kapitel haben alles kaputt gemacht
Bis dahin war es sehr entertaining, klischeevoller trash, aber danach einfach nur warum

the handling of the subject wasn’t exactly subtle or complex, but that’s definitely not a bad thing and stories like this with a more direct approach are definitely needed as well! I think this short story could be great for younger teenagers to learn about asexuality

It was a cute little story and i enjoyed it :)

one of my favourite classics I've read so far. absolutely magnificent 

at one point a character apologises for using such a vulgar expression as "over the counter".  Absolutely, how dare he object us to such profanity? Lol


oH nOooO poor Mina is so WEAK because she is a WOMAN and can't compete with the strong men to hunt count dracula... she's way too fragile for that 🥺🥺
FUCK THAT she carried the whole thing at multiple points, mina my queen

for the longest time I was convinced renfield was a vampire and then he just died and was never mentioned again?

also I fucking called it that quincey was gonna be the one to bite the dust. He just had that vibe of a character who was gonna die.
