About the book itself, it came on time, perfect state.
Long story short, what i liked, what i disliked :
✅ Amazing female protagonist
✅ Entertaining way of writing about Callie pov
✅ Fantasy part is really good
✅ Nice declarations, good with words
✅ The UNEXPECTED END
✅ and finally ladies : good smut 🥵
❌ Sometimes too predictable
❌ Sometimes you feel like it's just repeating itself over and over, specially in the middle of the book
❌ Not really original male's character description (hard abs, strong jaw, mUscuLAr)
❌ I felt like Callie's backstory and traumas should have taken a much important place
Now let's talk about the story. No one is a fool when it comes to this book. You just have to read the summary to know what to expect and as i previously said, what you asked for you shall receive. That's one nasty interesting book 🥰🥵 You can clearly feel the tension rise en rise and for that the book is hard to let down.
❌Still my only "disappointment" (though it's not really a big big one) is that a lot of it is predictable, and sometimes a bit too "cliché" for me, i like my men to be unique, original, and sometimes reading ten times "hard abs" and "sharp jaw" through two single chapters can get a bit annoying, but still i liked it nevertheless. Callie is an interesting character with an interesting past and i felt like this should have taken more place, i have wished to learn more about how she deals with life knowing what you know about her past. Going to the middle of the book i also felt like i was just reading the same stories over and over.
✅ Laura thalassa has one really good way to write and you don't want to really enjoy the book because you're too eager to know what's next 🥵. Her female protagonist is amazing, i like her, like her story, her personality, i felt emotionally involved with her as i was progressing through the story.
I also like how she distances herself with her siren part, it makes the story more mysterious, as if something bad that she didn't really know about was inside her. The smut was really good, what else could i say about that except that i wish this book was my life ?
And FINALLY, the END LADIES. THE END IS THE BEST PART. So entertaining, things escalated quickly but i really reaaaaally loved it. I just wish the whole book was just as diverting.

Deeply troubling romance that had me cringing multiple times

A 16 year old Callie finally defends herself against her abusive step father leaving her with no option but to call on The Bargainer. The Bargainer is more than he seems and Callie has her own secrets.
I had forgotten how young Callie was when I first read Rhapsodic. When I originally read this book it left me a little uncomfortable - until I realised that there would be a slight twist of events. So I enjoyed this re-read much more than the first time around.
Callie develops from a naive teenager to a sassy adult Siren. However, her insecurities still portray her as immature and a little annoying if I'm honest.
I know that she develops further in the other books - but, in this one she is so frustrating.
The Bargainer is your typical swoon worthy love interest. Dark, mysterious and has that protective streak. He counterbalances Callie's innocence perfectly.
During my first read - this book helped with my serious ACOTAR book hangover. As the series went on, the similarities were very evident. However, after research - this is simply coincidental.
This re-read was so much fun, I couldn't wait to get to certain revelations. Even knowing what was happening, the tension and build up to climatic scenes still had my heart pounding. I can't wait to dive back in the rest of the series as I've missed Callie and Des more than I realised!
Wish list:
I can't decide what I think of Temper - it would have been nice to see more of her - where she isn't constantly calling Callie 'B****'
I only say this for this installment (as I have previously read the whole series)
As much as I love Callie and Des, they were a little two dimensional. There doesn't feel like there is enough depth with their characters, or any of the other side characters for that matter.
Favourite quotes:
“And mountains may rise and fall, and the sun might wither away, and the sea claim the land and swallow the sky. But you will always be mine.” He runs his knuckles over my cheekbone. “And the stars might fall from the heavens, and night might cloak the earth, but until darkness dies, I will always be yours.”
“Cherub, people like us are not victims. We’re someone’s nightmare.”
“Teach me again how to be someone’s nightmare.”
Would I recommend?
Yes, I love this series! There are potentially triggering scenes but they are handled very well. This story hooks you in and sets you up for the rest of the series, which in my opinion gets better and better.

This book drew me in with a gorgeous fae, a sexy siren and a blossoming romance. I really enjoyed how it went from present day to flashbacks which helped to give us a clearer understanding of the two MC's motives and feelings as well as showing us the history they have together. The tension between Callie and Desmond was fantastic - a will-they-won't-they and a when-will-they type situation. And it didn't disappoint when they finally collided - especially the spice.
The reason I didn't give this five stars is due to the ending. It just didn't wow me. I know it's one of three books and I will continue with them and that might change my mind. I also noticed quite a number of spelling and grammar mistakes for an edited completed book.
*
I'm looking forward to seeing how Callie and Desmond move forward in book two.
*
Pros:
> Character building
> Relationship development through flashbacks
> Tension and spice
*
Cons:
> A number of spelling and grammar mistakes for a finished product
> The ending just didn't feel right
*
Memorable Quotes:
> I’m woman enough to admit that right about now I’m a little scared of Des.
> “I will always come for you.”
> “You’re not going to stop living your life because some days are harder than others.”
> “I’m afraid that if I do anything, you’ll stop. I don’t want you to stop.”
> “I love you. I’ve loved you from the beginning. And I will love you long after the last star dies. I will love you until the end of darkness itself.”
> “I want to marry the shit out of you, and then I want to have lots and lots of babies with you.”
