#SummerEndReadathon #SeriesLove2023
@Andrew65

This is the 2nd book in 50 Shades of Grey series told from Christian's POV. As with the first book, I enjoyed delving into his mind. The character development is really good, though I think the number of sex scenes was a bit much as was some of the drama. I enjoyed how Christian worked through his feelings for Anna. He was brave considering what he had been through. 3.5 to 4 ⭐️

Andrew65 Brilliant 👏👏👏 1y

Been reading this on my kindle along side Fawkes to get me out of a reading slump caused by a bit of a rubbish month due to illness and then the big heatwave taking their toll.
Fair to say darker has defo got me out of my reading slump and i am down down to only 70 pages left to read in Fawkes too!

I have read so many better books since reading the original trilogy. This Version was mildly entertaining

It is what it is and I love these books. I still think I like Christians tellings better though. Ready for June 1st!!

CoverToCoverGirl I agree, his versions are SO much better. Looking forward to his version of Freed releasing in June. 🙂 (edited) 4y

Okay. I‘m over this now. It was super repetitive and slow for me. Just not worth 500 pages. It wasn‘t awful, but just done with it now for me.

I give up.

This wasn't even a #guiltypleasure - it was just awful.

Knowing the story from Ana's POV it is repetition with a few extra dialogues and some extra scenes. A lot of inner monologue, inner whining...

GAH!

Honestly, I had hoped she had learned some writing skills, this being the fifth book.

HOTPock3tt Lol!! 🤣 Wow! 7y
julesG @HOTPock3tt Don't bother reading it. 'Grey' was okay but this is just ugh! 7y
HOTPock3tt @julesG I was waiting for your review!! 📚 Nope I won‘t bother with it. There are just too many books in my TBR competing for my attention. Thanks for letting us know! ☺️ (edited) 7y

I was thinking about reading in bed. Shadow won't budge, though. He's snoring, which is quite cute.

I'll finish my #guiltypleasure in my reading chair, especially since Ghost doesn't occupy it right now.

I appreciated this book a hell of a lot more than it‘s series counterpart. Fifty Shades Darker was pretty damn boring compared to this. I really enjoyed it. Review/thoughts posted to www.delawarebookaddict.blogspot.com #reviews #books #christiangrey

#cringeworthy - I expect so.

And still, I got the second book from Mr Grey's POV. But have yet to read it. Will need some wine to go with it.

I cannot resist reading this. I feel like I am giving away my guilty pleasure but I do not care at all.

swishandflick No judgement here! I haven't read the books from his perspective yet, but definitely read and enjoyed the original series when they first came out! Have you tried the Crossfire series? So good. I always recommend them 7y
LibrarianJen Are they written better (grammatically speaking) than the first were? I saw them at the bookstore but didn‘t stop to look. 7y
Lauren.Archer @swishandflick yes I really loved the crossfire series also. So so good. 7y

OrangeMooseReads I won‘t lie I read the original series and the first 3 of the crossfire series. Not my thing. I had a friend that was all about them and that‘s why I read them. I‘m OCD about series but I just can‘t do these books anymore. 😁 7y
minkyb No shame here! I read the original 3. Not sure I will read this but glad you will enjoy it. 7y

My review is now live on my channel!! 👉🏻https://youtu.be/89RPVNhs2Sc 🎥 #darker #eljames #fiftyshadesdarker #booktube #adultfiction #contemporary #romance #book #books #christiangrey #anasteele

RadicalReader @stephfafahh I cannot help but think of the comedic but of Peanut and Jeff where it‘s “ Jeff-fah-fah” when I read your username. It will be so nice to have six books so you can read and understand both perspectives of the Fifty Shades Trilogy 7y
stephfafahh @RadicalReader hahaha, when my grandmother is trying to put me in my place in her European accent, that‘s how she says my name. Then when my brother and I first watched the comedic genius that is Jeff Dunham, the nickname kind of stuck. I‘m really excited for the last book too 😊 7y
RadicalReader @stephfafahh where in Europe is your grandmother from? 7y
stephfafahh @RadicalReader she was born in Macedonia 😊 (edited) 7y

Is this necessary?? Hell yes! Fifty Shades Trilogy, we see the world through Ana‘s eyes and we didn‘t really know what Christian is 🤔. Christian POV? Definitely answer lots of questions. #eljames #romance #trilogy Especially why he‘s so.... ‘attach‘ to Mrs Robinson in such a weird way. And given a chance, I‘d definitely like to shoot her dead.

I just happened to be in Target and Christian just jumped on my cart and scanned himself at check out and went home with me. I know that James writing isn‘t that great but there is just something about this little Guilty pleasure! Lol. #books #christiangrey #newbooks

RadicalReader @TheBookbabeblog84 not the first time Christian has gone home with someone and certainly won‘t be the last! 7y

Bostonmomx2 Definitely interested in your thoughts. I read the original trilogy and enjoyed it but couldn‘t get into the 4th at all and now this? I‘m confused because I thought the 4th was already his perspective. I kinda feel like this author has nothing else in her bag and is still trying to milk this if she can. 7y
guinsgirlreads @Bostonmomx2 I actually liked the 4th one the best, but I do feel the same way about the author... 🤷🏻‍♀️🤫😊 7y
Bostonmomx2 Oh good. I‘m glad you enjoyed it. 7y
