RATING AND REVIEW

Bait (After The End #2)

3/5

Unfortunately, I found myself more invested in the plot while it tried to distract me with forced sexual tension.

I just don't even think we got good closure in either department. I feel like I should rate it even lower, but I feel a bit closeminded. And the worldbuilding was actually good and interesting! I just really didn't get the sexual tension and spice.

It was like we were getting in heat vibes, but also like fated mates or some shit. But it's not, everything is normal. And the FMC is like a sexually closeted virgin who is unexplainably horny. There's an audience for this somewhere, I just don't think it is me!

And like they spend the whole time obviously hiding something from Alma, and we reveal it with like 2 pages left and no actual consequences or deeper dive into the matter. Why was it even secret if we can brush it off so easy?

Everything felt forced. There was way too much telling and not enough showing. I think that's especially why the spice failed.
