I loved that her love story was a lot like her parents with the single dad. I also appreciated the whole Huntingtons plot. However the marriage came out of nowhere for me and what is it with this series and making me temporarily hate the characters who I gave five stars to their books. First Jace in the Keeper and now Scarlet

I loved getting to see Gigi and Ronaldo's relationship or at least part of it. The book ended in a really weird place and I felt like it could've been way longer than it was.. I even scrolled to the back of the book to see if there was an announcement for a second one that's how unfinished it felt. Also, I don't know if I completely missed all the trigger warnings but I was surprised to see

John SA Gigi on the page. I knew he was a kind of bad guy, but I was not expecting that for some reason.

I liked this book a lot. How the house trapped her and how she figured out the mystery of the little girl. One thing I didn’t like and kind of still have questions about is was she really crazy or was the house making her think those things to keep her there?

The love story was cute. I loved Ares and how he was with her. However, everything else kind of sucked.

The amount of times people said good twin was kind of infuriating. How Everly kept saying Ares he was a manwhore, like did you ever bother to get to know your husband's brother. How everyone except for her parents and Ares treated Grace like she was made of glass. I also don’t understand how Grace thought she could ever disappoint her parents because they are literally the sweetest parents in the world

I was incredibly jarring to find out the main characters were people we didn’t really know. Going into this I assumed it was going to be Aaryas book because they talked about her finding love so much in the first book. it felt like the published these books out of order. Also I love why choose but for some reason, I can only get into them if they are one female, multiple males

I couldn’t get into it. I tried getting into it as the cover was beautiful. However I don’t know anything about the goblin king

When I first saw the title, I thought this was going to be a retelling of Jack the Ripper, which I guess it kinda was. However, who ended up being the killer seeming came out of nowhere. If I was basing my review on just that this would have been a three. But it is my experience getting this book that made it a one star. I found this book in the young adult section of my library, it wasn't until I got home and started reading the book that I realized it was not for young adults at all. Not only that, but there is literally a naked woman on the cover. When I returned the book to the library I made them aware because even though I'm not a teenager and am used to having explicit material in my books, the next person might not be, and I wanted to help avoid a situation like that

I wanted to give the author the benefit of the doubt but I couldn’t get past the misspelling of the main characters name which is also the title of the book. Unless the author and her entire team doesn’t know how to properly spell heaven and know that the name is heaven spelled backwards. I don’t know how this got published. I might be overreacting but it bothered me.

Update:

I just realized after a year since putting this book down. The picture on the cover looks like an AI picture of Adele.

I found out it was interactive and in one of the endings Cinder dies. I’m sorry but after everything she has been through she deserves a happy ending

I hate to say it, but I DNF'd this book. The first two books in this series were some of my favorite books of the year for the spin they put on real life events. The fact that she is now saying that the stuff in the first book was not actually true is complete bullshit. This series had the potential of my favorite series of all time as a criminology student, but it felt like it ended up being a train who crashed into a brick wall. I was going to try her other series after I tried it earlier this year but now I feel like I can’t trust anything this author writes
