What is your opinion?
Great laugh
"I really like the dialogues between the two girls. Some jokes are so original and incredibly funny. I’m also enjoying the way Katja and Nikolaj met, and also their next encounters. Definitely spicy 🌶️ I’m eager to see what and how things will go next between them, but I’m sure it will still be funny and enticing. The story is very well written and it makes for a really good laugh, with spices on top ❤️ i love it!"
Interesting Characters
"I love the main character and learning more about her. The distinct personalities and voices home through of this various characters as well making it great to read. The plot and development is also interesting even that you get hooked to finding out what happens next. #icbc"
Relatable characters, humor, mystery and artfully woven in spice 💖
"This story has a strong opening, with an engaging first chapter, closing with an intriguing bit of mystery regarding the MC, Nikolai. The spice woven in is artfully merged with the plot and feels natural instead of "added in," which is refreshing, as too many books rely too heavily on spice as plot points. Katja is an entertaining and relatable character; she has some humorous thoughts and observations that made me laugh. Her relationship with her friend Sara is sweet and realistic, reminding me of similar relationships I've experienced. Looking forward to reading the next chapter. #ICBC"
A voice you don't forget
"This story pulls you in from the first page and doesn't let go. Katja is a very honestly written protagonists: sharp, self-aware, contradictory, and real (like a real person). The author doesn't try to make her likeable or perfect; she's anxious, rigid, funny, and deeply human, and that's exactly what makes her compelling. The tension built around Nikolai is handled with restraint for most of the story: glances, whispers, a hand on a chair back. Sara as a character is a genuine highlight; her dynamic with Katja carries warmth and comedy that balances the heavier emotional weight throughout. The writing style is vivid and atmospheric, particularly in the train chapter, which reads almost like a thriller. Nearly every chapter closes on a line or image that makes you need the next one immediately."
Beautiful, Steamy & Unapologetically Sexy
"Sprezzatura writes beautifully, with an introspective and atmospheric prose style. Lines like "I feel as if I belong to no epoch, no time. As if everything I desire slips away from me, appearing only as a temptation, a silhouette" give the story a poetic, hauntingly gorgeous quality that reads like a painting, pure art. Plus, the MC Nikolai Sokolov is a massive, alpha specimen that oozes sex. #ICBC"
Fast and Furious! (in a good way)
"First thing that struck me was the pacing! We are moving, fast and efficiently! Not a single word is wasted! A lot of internal thoughts! It's like we live inside the brain of the MC (which is totally my style). Not that many "external thoughts" A.K.A, dialogue (which is not my style but, the way this is going, it makes sense). Seems like the story is grounded and realistic too, which yet again, I absolutely enjoy and appreciate! Look, magic and werewolves are cool and all but, sometimes you need something real. Overall, it felt like a very enjoyable and easily bingeable experience that I might come back to at some point! Good job! #ICBC "
Intriguing beginning.
"Some writers are minimalistic when they tell stories and it is an artistic style that I admire, even if I can't reproduce it myself. This chapter has all the correct elements for that style, light on exposition, hints of what supporting characters may bring to the story, and a problem, (or is it?) The air of mystery makes for a nice touch and the last line was my favorite in the chapter. Technically, there are a few minor issues that are readily fixed with a few moments of editing. #ICBC"
Exceptional Writing
"It is a wonderful read! I specifically like the writing style and literary skill of the author, beautiful. The way in which the author describes the scenes and characters is something that we don't see so much of these days. I love it. Also, the chemistry between Katja and Nikolaj is beautiful, I like that he wants something deeper with her and does not want to ruin it. The friendship between between the girls is also especially heart touching."
This book is really different from all the others I have read on the app
"I love the plot and the chemistry between characters I also love the progressive build up of tension"
The writing is so deep. I am hooked. Nikolai has a lot of expectations to meet... please update soon😆
"I liked the writing style it is very powerful and deep "
A strong start!
"Katja's humour, opinions and world view is very amusing and refreshing! As a reader the opening chapter was all about knowing and liking her. :) She comes across as a likeable interesting character indeed. Also, love the cover! #ICBC"
Intriguing start
"This story hooks you in with a hint of spice. The prose is well written and almost poetic. It really draws you in to the characters perspective. It hints at deep secrets the Main character needs to delve into and hooks you in at the last line, making the reader want to read on. #icbc"
This is really good
"I like the direction and the style of this story. I am enjoying it immensely. I love it. #ICBC"
