Praise for knot all is perfect
I read a lot of Omegaverse and let me tell you that this one is different. It will wrench your heart out, mend it, rip it out again, make you cry, make you happy, and then make you beg the author for more.
I devoured all 450+ pages of this ARC basically overnight, the story had me absolutely GRIPPED in a chokehold with the emotional rollercoaster this pack went through.

If you love getting good character development and story as well as spice you are in for a treat. It does such a good job of using omegaverse tropes as a lens to tackle heavy and complex struggles. So much of Noras insecurities and mental demons hit home and will resonate with so many of us. It would be a great introduction to the world of omegaverse books if you are interested in giving them a shot.

Omegaverse happens to be one of my favorite genres. I went into this one not knowing what to expect and I LOVED it. It is unexpected in the best of ways. It gives you enough background on your characters. Just enough smut to keep you interested, but it doesn't overtake the Book. The plot/story line here captures your attention.

Monroe did such an amazing job at portraying someone trying to be what was instilled in them as perfect, that I was waiting with her alphas trying to find out who she was. The number of times I almost cried is more than I can count. Nora has been through hell and deserves all of the happiness in the world.

praise for the shadowweaver trilogy
I am the first to admit when I’m wrong. Which is why I try not to be. But well, we are here for the very fact that I 𝑤𝑎𝑠 wrong. After my initial read of this book I was a bit frustrated. 𝐹𝑟𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑 and 𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑚𝑒𝑑. There was A LOT of world building going on. Really good world building. But it was heavy, and I didn’t give it enough time to sink in. You know how I realized I was wrong, I keep thinking about the book. About the characters. About what the future holds in the story. It’s all there, whispering in the back of my mind. 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑜𝑜𝑘 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑦 𝑑𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑠. Don’t be concerned, I like my demons.But ya’ll it was so good. So complex. So intriguing. Did I mention the exquisite world building? And the depth of the characters? Miss ma’am, if you are reading this. 𝔓𝔥𝔢𝔫𝔬𝔪𝔢𝔫𝔞𝔩. 𝔉𝔞𝔫𝔱𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔠𝔞𝔩. Yes, I’m aware of what that word means, but it works, and I’m going with it. I’ll be honest, I’m not used to really 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 anything when I read aside from intrigue and enjoyment. But I went through so many emotions during this books and that’s what 𝔣𝔲𝔠𝔨𝔢𝔡 me up. I couldn’t process my own feelings, how could I process the book.Anyways, it’s 𝔣𝔲𝔠𝔨𝔦𝔫𝔤 good. Read it.
-Elle, Gooreviews Reviewer, The Last Winter
It is unreal to me that this is this author’s first published novel. We are taken on a journey of desperation, hope, connection, and discovery.
Viola’s upbringing seems to help her succeed in The Race to Ytopie, a safe place for humans to live out the rest of their lives. When she finally and luckily gets to the fae, her life becomes even more complicated.
This is truly the best “what you see isn’t what you get” story I’ve read in awhile. Just when you think you have your heart set on what you think is happening, you’re slowly second guessing yourself. I really loved the characters and their personality, the dialogue felt natural, and the outcomes of situations were exciting!

What a f*cking ride.
I love this story so incredibly much. I want to scream it from the rooftop.
These characters, they are so beautifully flawed, and I loved seeing their struggle with past and present choices and their growth throughout this story.
The dialogues that the characters have with each other felt so raw and real and emotional at times, but there were also lighter moments and banter.
There is so much love, not just romantically, but also platonic, and I appreciated the way that the author showed us the different layers and complexities of friendship and sibling bonds. Especially when there's so much on the line, and everyone has a different opinion on what is morally correct.
In my review for The Last Winter, I mentioned that I wanted to see more of the magic system, and the author definitely delivered on that. The way that it can be applied is so varied, and the author manages to surprise with a new application multiple times throughout the story.
This series has my whole heart, and I'm already pumped for the final book!

I need to preface this whole review with I can not get into details because I REFUSE TO SPOIL THIS BOOK. Just trust me. You have to read it.
Characters 10/10:
My feelings are: asdfghjkl

Atmosphere/Setting 10/10:
I was right there.
Specifically: the boat, the games, a place i cant say cause spoilers
Writing Style 10/10:
Why is this not being picked up by a big publisher? Why is this not on tiktok? Keep an eye on Holly Monroe because her skill is unmatched. Phenomenal.
Plot 10/10:
Again, omg. So good. So much plot and the strategic way it was done. Chef kiss!
Intrigue 10/10:
The amount of messages I sent this author should have qualified me for stalking not friendship.

YOU CAN SO TELL HOW MUCH EFFORT WAS PUT INTO THIS MAGIC SYSTEM.
Enjoyment 10/10:
This is my new roman empire.
