Scarlet’s Pick: Endless Anger by Sav R. Miller ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 🌶️🌶️🌶️ [Childhood best friends to lovers][grumpy x grumpy][dark academia][one (dorm) bed][family curse][they're both virgins][idiots to lovers] I liked this book, especially the callbacks to the Monsters & Muses series. However, I didn't enjoy the miscommunication and secret-keeping since, in my opinion, the secrets weren't compelling enough to justify withholding them, if that makes sense. I also disliked the ending. It was built up as this huge climax, but when it finally arrived, it just fell flat.
King of Greed by Ana Huang ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 | 🌶️🌶️🌶️ I enjoyed the direction the author took the with Alessandra’s journey as a single woman, where she found herself and finally chased her dreams. While I did find the side plot with her male friend to be a bit unnecessary to the overall story, everything else was nice.
I love that Maya has her own life aside from her relationships with her brother and Noah. Many books don't flesh out their female main characters as much, but Lauren builds Maya spectacularly. I love that Noah is a jerk—but not enough to make you question why Maya would ever want to be with him in the first place. I also love the way Lauren writes his journey leading up to confronting the complicated relationship he has with his family.
BREAKING NEWS! Elsie Silver knows how to write sexy single dads, and his kids are honestly the highlight of the series. Skylar's journey of self-discovery was so real and raw, there was no straight line, and she sometimes had setbacks, but she always had support. That was just so refreshing to see. Weston had his own journey too. He learned a lot about himself and had some humbling experiences that ultimately made him the perfect partner for Skylar. All around great book with such refreshing and fun chemistry between the two.
