😭 I DNFED Devil's Night series... (Tf should I read now)

Intro I guess

I wish I left it by just reading Hideaway and stopped. Hideaway was so good I saw it in a youtube video how they talked about hating it but it literally had all my interests, AND IT WAS SOOO GOOD Legit 5/5 Stars.

I liked that it had less sexual scenes it made me crave it from them, but in the other books the sex scenes just felt like a nuisance that I had to read to get to the Plot...

Banks was so relatable to me, I WAS LIKE "OMG, KINDA A LOSER, ATTITUDE + VERSION + AHHHH" SHE'S JUST LIKE ME.

Kai was also so damn relatable and his POV was fun to read. HE'S SO CUTE and best boyfriend to Banks ever 😭❤️

I didn't mind that the book was more focused on Damon 'building up Killswitch' because I liked the brother-sister relationship.

The only characters I really kinda like now are Damon, Kai, Banks, Will.

But in the Timeskip books (Fire night, etc...) they honestly don't seem so cool anymore and as much as I hate to say it it feels like they got very boring and quite bland / not adventurous. Kai's POV in firenight is so hard to read so I just skipped it to Damons but I don't wanna even read the Series anymore)

(I will just rant real quick.)

Reading the others wasn't a waste of my time because I fucking learned that I don't wanna be like those damn characters, BUT IT WAS NOT NECESSARY I WISH I GOT SPOILERED 😭.

Now... lemme just ask, Wtf is Damon doing with Winter?? I DNFED Killswitch at 70%. I just couldn't with her anymore. She is boring, bland, her only trait is being blinded and otherwise she only has negative traits in my opinion those annoy me the most?! She can't even be sweet and I dont get her being typed of bubbly of all stuff 💀 Like shes just acting normal she's nothing special and I don't find her fun to read.

I'm really confused about Damons characters ngl, maybe i'm just projecting because I relate to him so much and he acts alot like one of my OC. UGH OMG. I will just say it without explanation:

1. I don't think he would like Rika... it makes no sense for me that he sees her as this super smart chessmaster or whatever. (Rika in general pisses me off bro)

2. There is nothing special in Winter that he wouldn't find in other girls... her 'innocence' or whatever?? like wtf?? and what else: oh right "She teached me about pain" 🥺🥺 OMG EVERYONE KNOWNS THAT. EVERY CLOWN KNOWS THAT IF U BITE UR CHEEK OTHER WOUNDS WILL HURT LESS. Every other character in winters shoes, maybe someone feminen and super sweet, not this random hoe.

I kinda hated all the scenes I only liked the teenage scenes in Killswitch it was soooo cutee<33 (But again it couldve been done without her being Blind and being much cuter) My fav was the driving scene tho I gotta admit that was adorable, and the fountain scene near Devils night.

IS She fking blind? HAHA, I just hate winter so much man sorry. Like i wouldnt bat her an eye irl, whatever i just don't like her character she doesnt feel like a MC.

Ye ik its dumb to be this pressed about a book but I really really loved Damon, I loved his character, his story, his thoughts and POV, and so ofc i wanted a super cool story and love interest for him but no we get this bitch like what?! Nobody else complains about it too man...

I'm not really a person who self-inserts or inserts my character into the story, even if I self inserted into Winter she was just soooo SHE WAS TOO ANNOYING.

Okay now about Rika

She's so aggravating. First. She isnt even intelliegent... shes just smart. So its rlly weird to me how suddently everyone called her a mastermind and a monster 😭😭 Like what.

By what everyone says I also believe she is a self-insert, WHICH I DONT MIND, I love self inserts because theyre so much cooler and I loved the authors writing style how she got into others characters minds... so why was her (ASSUMING IDK) Self-insert a hole in her brain. Like shes smart but not rlly inelliegent. And the author can read people so well but we dont get any of that with Rika... we r just supposed to believe it?

Pmggg U can imagine how annoyed i was the whole fking book. I only kept reading to get the Plot for Nightfall but i just, no I cant. WHY IS SHE PORTRAYED as if shes the MC? I liked her a little in her book but in other books I hate her. I wouldnt wanna be friends with her OR micheal, gosh i would hate to be near them or be their friend. Imagine having those two as 'friends' hating them but needing their money and javing to hide your disgust. I wouldnt be able too lol XD

Then The fucking dumbass plot twist (I sidnt even read it i got spoiled and im glad) RIKA IS DAMONS HALF SISTER. WOW. I HATE IT. LIKE??? WHAT KIND OF DEMON-ANGEL-WOLF-HYBRID Story is this. God i fucking hate it so much 😭 This just screams "I'm only writing one characters story but u can think i care abt the other ones!!!"

Oh about that.

Why is Banks suddently treated so boring..? (Again probably because im inserting myself into her so much but it doesnt make sense for someone like her imo)

1. It's so out of character for her to start college (I can let it slide ig..) and then MAKE A "WOMEN SELF DEFENSE COURSE MIMIMIMI 🙄🙄🙄🙄" UGHH I hate those dumbass fking stories. Banks isnt the type of person in my view to do that?! And she wouldnt let herself get pushed either she doesnt seem to care what others want of her.

2. Why is her relationship with Damon suddently so neglected and strained. We barley see anything of Banks and then Damon doesnt wanna meet her barley and Banks doesnt even wanna hang with him or something? Just so dumb. I WANTED TO SEE THEM ENJOYING THEMSELVES.

3. Also that she is never there, barley any screen(page?) time. I sont mean she should be like Rika, GOD FUCK NO I would hate Banks if she was saying stuff n getting too much screentime. but like she barley has any –_– shes never there with anyone. But of course Rika is always there.
