King of Sloth took me forever to get through, and it ended up being my least favorite Ana Huang book. The story felt too slow, and while it wasn’t terrible, it just didn’t capture my interest like her other works. Disappointing, but I’m hopeful the next one will be better.

I love the way this book and series is so interconnected. All the old characters from previous books were mentioned in one way or another.

Xavier and Sloane <3

This book took me a while to finish but we made it!! I loved Xaviers nickname for Sloane (Luna), it was one of my favorite features. Xavier becomes CEO and received his inheritance from his father’s will. Now both live happily together with their goldfish, Fiesty. Ana, I look forward to reading King of Envy with Vuk. Ana always captivates me with her diverse and complex characters.

Oh how I love Ana Huang. Another edition to the King of Sin series and was just as amazing as the others. I really love Xavier and Sloane and their stories and then their arc as a couple. It was a lot of fun to read. I do really love a reverse grumpy sunshine and this books is one of the biggest reasons why because the banter is always top tier! I’m so excited for King of Envy because of the little bit of teaser we got so I will be (im)patiently waiting for it to release.

It was super sweet, and fun but for me personally the end was a bit bland. Like I get it and how it works with the plot but I would have liked something more :)

I kind of skimmed some parts? I couldn’t understand why it felt kind of eh? After reading other people’s reviews it lacked Chemistry and I agree it just didn’t feel genuine:(

the one with the most plot so far in my opinion, this one is definitely one of my favorites, i love slone’s character and personality so much probably because i’m a little like her in many aspects and xavier’s personality balanced slone’s so good that it was delicious to see them interact, from the very first chapter i knew they’d make the perfect couple.

"I love you, Sloane, and if you think I’m letting you go that easily, you’re mistaken. I’ve spent half my life running from the hard stuff and taking the easy way out because I’d never wanted anything enough to work for it. Then I met you, and I finally understood what people meant when they said love is worth fighting for. I know it sounds like a cliché, and if you heard this in a movie, you’d probably write a scathing review about it but I mean it. I’ve learned to fight for what’s important, and there’s nothing in this world that’s more important to me than you. Not the club, not my inheritance, not my reputation. I know you’re afraid..Hell, I am too. I’ve never been in love, and I’ve never wanted to be in love. I have no idea what people do in these situations, which is probably why I’m here, making an assumption of myself. If you truly don’t feel anything for me, then I accept that. But if you do, even tiniest bit, then don’t what I used to do. Don’t run away from what could be because you’re afraid of what might be."

Isa’s love for dino erotica runs far deeper than her own career ambitions, trust me.

Shitty fathers. Commitment issues. Major need of therapy.

Who said adults couldn’t bond over trauma ?

No one. No one ever said that Xavier.

Luna is short mi Luna. My moon. Because no matter how dark the nights got, you were always there, shining so brightly that I always found my way through.
