One Instagram Reel and Suddenly I’m Obsessed | Craving Venom

 

In my opinion, this book did not have to grab me by the throat and whisper, “You’re not sleeping tonight.” But alas, here we are.

Things That Made My Brain Go “What the F*!”

Faith sees her supposedly dead ex-boyfriend—the man who should be rotting in a grave or haunting someone else’s nightmares—and instead of confronting him like a normal, emotionally stable human being, she beelines to a bar like:

"Nah, I’m just gonna have a drink and pretend this whole zombie ex situation will resolve itself."

Girl. GIRL. What the what. Why so dramatically dumb? I respect it. I relate to it. I hate it. I love it.

And then they all just… accept he's alive?? Like the man just respawned and everyone shrugged.

“Guess we’re doing this now!”

Peak literature.

😵‍💫 THINGS THIS BOOK DID TO ME: Yell in to the void

I loved this book.
Like, embarrassing-level loved it. I saw ONE Instagram reel—ONE!—and suddenly I’m possessed by demons at the bookstore checkout counter. Then I find out the author has written only one book in the series so far, and this is with a CLIFFHANGER that yeets your soul off a balcony.

What the hell.
Now I’m emotionally homeless waiting for book 2.
What did I sign up for?
Why did no one warn me?
I blame society.

What my Braincell Has Spoken!

Let’s be real: the book was epic.
It has everything a dark romance should have:
🔪 trauma
❤️‍🔥 questionable morality
👀 sexual tension that could power a small city
🤡 decisions no therapist could fix

And before you dive in, girlies—check your trigger warnings. This book said “comfort zone? never heard of her.”

Also HOLY FANGIRL SCREECH—there’s a Criminal Archives website the author made for the series??
That’s it. I’m feral. Fully unhinged. Enrolling myself in the fictional FBI academy.

This book consumed me. I giggled. I screamed. I questioned the mental health of every character and also myself.

Now someone please pry book 2 from the author’s hands because I am NOT well.
