    You better be! 🤨

    That’s actually pretty funny. We should revive it.

    Yeah. It just felt a little weird since Christians normally try to stay away from stuff like that–but then, it had nothing to do with demons or anything. So idk.

    Lolol. I don’t know–I would probably have to reread it. I think I preferred Ivan. But Alexei was better than them both, so I would pick him if he didn’t feel so much…[Read more]

  • @ellette-giselle

    Lol, he does! I missed when the protection squad actually got formed but from the name, he totally does.

    (And Julian. And Leon. *glares at you* Please don’t kill off any more of your charries.)

    It was sad when Ivan died. I felt for him then. But the rest of the book, eh. He was okay. I guess I liked how he was so remorseful after trying to kill Nastya… but still.

    Lol. I love the fantasy twists that she adds, but I much preferred the one in Fawkes with the color powers and the plague. This one, felt borderline because of the spell…[Read more]

    • True, true. i get that about the spell stuff. I normally don’t read books with magic in them.

      No. i loved Zash. But then I like guys like him. I could marry Zash. (as long as he liked books. lol)

      I’m guessing you probably couldn’t?

      I couldn’t marry Ivan. He’s a little too gentle for me.

    • Haha! No I’m a Zash girl through and through. If I was ever tempted to have a book crush…….
      I might like Fawkes better. I’m just not sure.
      I did read somewhere that the author did the spell thing because it was going along with the theme of words having power. You know, the power of words that caused the downfall of the Romanovs, and the…[Read more]

    • @ellette-giselle (It’s not letting me reply to you anymore, so I have to tag I think)

      Lol. Hmmmm, that’s interesting. I guess it kind of makes sense. Where did you see it?

      I have not! Sure, I’d love to see it

    • @ellette-giselle

      Oh, gotcha. It’s okay. Does sort of make sense though.

      Oh, cool! She has a good voice. It sounds sad though 😢. I like the violin in the background.

  • @ellette-giselle

    LOL. Okay, good. xD

    Oooooff, okay. Gotcha. That’s pretty rough.

    It’s okay, I’ll try to puzzle the rest out like a normal reader. Lol.

  • @ellette-giselle

    Ok, good.

    Oh my goodness. You are crazy. Lol. No, if you killed Joseph, I think I would go on strike. Enough is enough. 😂

    Don’t worry, the book is already written, so weather he lives or dies is out of your hands. 😉

    That’s what you said about Adrian too! 😶

  • hybridlore posted a new activity comment 1 month, 3 weeks ago

    I was referring to the assassinations, but I was also shocked when Ivan died. Yeah, I was over there with no clue what was going to happen, so it was pretty traumatic when they all died. Lol.

    • WHAT! Zash was so 100% my favorite of all the characters. I was so sad for him when Ivan died. Oh man. And how cruel that guy was!!!!! Ugh!

      I’m going to go reread Ivan’s death scene. It was a masterpiece.

      What did you think of the fantasy spin that she added to it? I enjoy how she does that with her historical fiction type books.

  • hybridlore posted a new activity comment 1 month, 3 weeks ago

    Also, Nastya as a character was amazing too. I really loved her as well.

  • hybridlore posted a new activity comment 1 month, 3 weeks ago

    I know…. Ivan 😭😭😭 And poor Maria. That’s a good point–she didn’t even go into detail or anything, but you still knew what was happening and your heart was breaking for them… I might have to take some notes. 😅
    Yeah, I could tell pretty soon too I think. I don’t think the author was trying to keep it a secret. Usually love interests are pretty…[Read more]

  • @ellette-giselle

    Lol. Ok, I do know SOME things about the characters since I started reading the first book. But, if you’d prefer me to stop so I can continue to be your guinea pig, I will. 😊 Lol. (I don’t know anything about Leon though, yet, I think…)

    From what I got from it, he was in love with a girl a while ago, but then something…[Read more]

    WARNING TO ANY UNSUSPECTING SNOOPERS: DO NOT OPEN THIS THREAD IF YOU DON’T WANT SPOILERS FOR ROMANOV.

    @ellette-giselle

    Yes, I’ve read Romanov a few times. It’s pretty good 🥲. But sad. The first time I picked it up, I got to the part (you know… that part, the middle-ish thing 💀) And I, never hearing of the Romanovs before, was like… 🤯. Then…[Read more]

    • Ahhhhh! It was so good!!!! And I sobbed for Ivan!! Oh my goodness! That poor boy broke my heart! That was one of the most wrenching death scenes I have ever read, and you didn’t even see it. Just knowing what was happening, and watching Maria slowly realize it too! oh man!
      And Zash! I loved him! Okay, the moment, THE MOMENT, he was introduced I…[Read more]

    • Also, are you referring to the assassination part? Or Ivan’s part?

      I know the story of the Romanovs, and I was so mad at her for building up their characters because I knew they all died. lol. I just tried really hard not to get attached.

      Yeah it is sad. But so’s her story.

      It’s very russian sounding. I am partial to russian music. lol.

    • @hybridlore

      Wait, when did you read that? I didn’t think I posted any.

  • hybridlore posted a new activity comment 1 month, 3 weeks ago

    Yeah! 😁

  • @the_lost-journal

    What’s with the havoc potato thing?

  • @ellette-giselle

    Lolol. I got worried for a second… but I’m assuming it’s the main character who I said was similar to Adrian because he died in book 1 and so did his best friend… I think.

    (I was worried for Joseph. At this point I don’t know how surprised I would be if you killed him off too. xD)

  • @ellette-giselle

    *ahem* What main character are you talking about? 🤨

  • @ellette-giselle

    Yess! 😁 Gotcha. I remembered seeing him in it, but not much. (I still gotta finish that. Did you post the whole thing on there, even the ending?)

    *putting all the pieces together lol* Yeah, I could tell 😢😢.

  • @ellette-giselle

    Yayyyy!!!! Julian!!! And more people!! 😆

    It looks good! I liked the flashbacks into Joseph’s backstory. The only thing was I caught a sentence or two that didn’t flow well— “It was evening of the next day.” for example. Maybe you could change it to, “it was the next evening?” Idk. I’m sure it’s fine if you leave it.

  • hybridlore posted a new activity comment 1 month, 3 weeks ago

    Oh, cool! 😁 I feel like you and I have very similar taste in books. We both like all the same things. I gotcha, it’s pretty pricey, but cool! Hopefully you’ll be able to get it for Christmas! 😉 (Also, like I told GRCR, they also have paperbacks on that website, which are much cheaper.)

    • When I got off yesterday I read Romanov from cover to cover! OH MY GOODNESS! It had me crying. Her books always do that to me!!!
      Have you read it? (please say that you have. I want to rant about it. lol)

  • @the-ducktator

    I’ll be praying! 🙏
