Hollyhocks by January Rayne is, without a doubt, another amazing addition to her series. I couldn’t get enough of this book. The way she effortlessly weaves suspense and emotion makes it feel like you're being pulled into a whirlwind from the very first page. But what truly set this book apart for me was the female protagonist—an unapologetically fierce and unhinged monster DNA stalker. She’s dark, complicated, and absolutely captivating. Her blend of vulnerability and raw power was so unique,...

❤️Thoughts❤️ Let me start by saying that I absolutely love this series, but Holly just wasn’t for me. I was thrilled that Fitz got his own story—he totally deserved it—but something about Holly and her intense monster ways didn’t quite connect with me. That being said, there were definitely moments I enjoyed! The easter egg at the end, especially when Fitz was dealing with his dad, had me fangirling. It felt like January’s way of hinting that this series is only just getting started, and...

If I thought the first two were good, this one was even better. I love how much Fitz wanted a mate and the push and pull of wanting Holly but not knowing why. He so easily accepted her and I'm obsessed with it. Holly is a great FMC and I loved how her though processing worked because it was a mix of Creed's blood thirstiness and Rhett's logic. I can't watch to read the other two books. )

So I love that we get a female monster and all the new creatures she’s mixed with are interesting as always, Rhett being able to find love is everything he deserves it,him and holly are the best match, but I also felt like the story was super quick and feeling incomplete left me wondering what happened when his sister and nephew finally made it how did they meet holly and what happened when the horseman took holly to the facilities, maybe it will be in another book maybe one with Elijah finding...

Calling this sweet feels like an oxymoron but it's true. Fitz is Rhett's best friend and he craves a monster mate after seeing what his friend has. Only once Holly comes around sniffing, he keeps convincing himself it's not possible. Holly is probably the most intentionally mixed blend so far with the obvious intent being to make some kind of sexual slave through the experiments. But it seems like they picked the worst person to do it too. Oh, and she died. But that doesn't seem to be a problem...
