Beautiful Russian Monster by Odette Stone

5.0

Viktor and Blaire set a HIGH bar for the best read of 2022. I’ll be searching the rest of the year for books that make me feel the way this one did.

I was obsessed from the first page, dreading the book ending at 9% and already in a book hangover by 25%.

The banter in this book is EVERYTHING perfect and wonderful, it had me constantly biting my lip with a smirk while butterflies fluttered in my stomach as I was reading. These two characters vibe SO well together and effortlessly pull you into their story and it’s SUCH an adventure.

Odette is just phenomenal with her words, world building, character development, the dynamic of each character and their relationships and storytelling. I’m forever craving more of whatever Odette will give to us.

She dedicated maybe seven sentences to what book we will hopefully be getting next and I’m already greedily awaiting all that story has in store for us.

Five flawless stars that are so well deserved for this read—I really can’t rave about this book enough. Pick it up; you need it.
