Deadly Dreams (Fortuna Sworn, #3)
by K.J. Sutton
I would like to thank K.J. Sutton for providing me with a copy of her ARC, due to this kind gesture I've decided to leave an honest review. Oh my, lord, what the HELL!!!! COLLITH, YOU WILL BE THE END OF ME!!!!
Ok, so I have been in the worlds worst book slump, its took forever to even finish this book. Lockdown life is slowly but surely driving me insane with my motivation levels sitting at 0%. I found it hard to stay with Deadly Dreams around until 65% and holy mother of god what the hell! In true Sutton style, I was hooked!!
Can we show a huge appreciation of how dealing with sexual assault can be handled?! We hardly ever see heroines getting professional help and I am LIVING FOR IT! Fortuna grows through this story at a heartbreaking rate, but it actually makes her really human which I absolutely loved as it felt raw.
Now, I did find this really hard because we see Fortuna grow but the book also felt a bit stagnant up until 60%. I would pick it up, put it down, pick it up... you get my drift. I don't know if it was the whole Gwyn thing lasting a little longer than it probably should have? I just felt in limbo, again though I don't know if it's maybe the lockdown lifestyle we are living here in the UK and my attention span is at an all-time low. I just wanted the plot to move on, and boy didn't I get what I wished for!!
I love our characters, there isn't a character that I don't like in this series. My favourite part of Fortuna is she is not all good and that makes me sooo happy! I want to keep seeing her go all badass bitch on everyone, you're a nightmare honey F THESE B'S UP! Can someone point me in Oli's direction? Where art thou? DO NOT LEAVE ME. I also love me some Laurie, he is the cutest, Tuna is out here breaking all these hearts, BUT COLLITH... you sneaky son of a bitch, why didn't I pick up on all these little hints? GAH!!
The book could have easily been 5 star due to the ending, but again I really found it hard until 60% so I am going with 3.5 rating. I won't lie I love these characters and due to this, I cannot wait for the next instalment.
