the stuff goodreads still won’t tell you

"it's a fantasy romance"
enemies to lovers · morally grey MMC · slow burn · fated mates · forced proximity
"some readers found this steamy"
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ explicit—fade to black? never heard of her
"trigger warnings in the reviews somewhere"
SA, captivity, violence, death—sorted by severity, before you start reading
"readers also enjoyed..."
same tropes · same spice · same mood · same vibe—not just "people who bought this also bought"
"part of a series"
book 2 of 5 · ongoing · cliffhanger warning · can be read standalone
★★★★☆
angsty · dark · emotional · slow burn into explosive—how the book actually feels

“the fact that i can filter by 'enemies to lovers + slow burn + high spice' is genuinely life-changing”

your reading habits — either validating or deeply concerning

we track what you read, how spicy you like it, and how fast you tear through a series. the kind of self-knowledge that’s either empowering or a cry for help. (we don’t judge.)
