Hey Aashvi,
Looks like you’re a bit confused.

You’re not supposed to log yet because you haven’t received the tbr list from your secret Santa right ?

Review: King of Corium by C. Hallman

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Wow. Wow. Wow.
I didn't expect this book to be that good lmao.

I got this on my secret santa list, and I was excited because it was on my tbr and I was finally going to read it. So...

King Of Corium is a young adult dark enemies to lovers romance. It follows the story of Aspen and Quinton and ping-pongs between their points of view. Is it dark? I expected it to be way worse, honestly. The one scene shocked me!!! But other than that it was ordinary mafia enemies to lovers.

I don't agree with the projection of the female main character in this book, and the way she had to be "saved" multiply. I personally think it would have been better if she was portrayed stronger, instead of the damsel in distress type situation that was going on.

The plot twist!!!! Oh my GOOOOODDD! I was like 20 pages from the end, and they were not yet in love. And I was panicking! But I found out its part of a series, and am I going to read book two? Umm yeah duuh.

The plot, was very predictable. Very very like oh yeah I saw that coming miles away. And the author has a horrid way of foreshadowing. "I feel like something bad is going to happen" yeah no shit aspen.

Should you read it? No. Unfortunately despite how much I enjoyed this (I started reading this yesterday and binged it through the night. It's midday where I am), I think it's something that you can live without reading. It got slow and extremely repetitive Alot.


PS: I don't know Matteo, and I know this is fiction. But if I ever see that cheeky muthafxcker
