Separation | Book 2 of The Kane Trilogy by Stylo Fantome | A Review

Featured blog post for separation by Stylo fantome


This is the second book in The Kane Trilogy written by Stylo Fantome. I reread this series this month and here I am writing the review for the second book. This is the Goodreads description of the series.

Everything is fun and games until someone gets hurt, and what Jameson Kane did to Tatum O'Shea goes so far beyond hurt, he is well into the realm of unforgivable. Tate says she wants him gone for good, and he quickly learns that the old saying, “you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone”, is most definitely true.

But Jameson has never been very good at following instructions, and when Satan decides to seek redemption, he'll go to great lengths to get it. He proposes one last game – one to end them all, if she agrees to play. He is very confident that he can win, but Tate warns him that it's not possible; she will not lose again. Little does she know, Jameson is prepared to do whatever it takes. Prepared to lay the entire world at her feet. Prepared to bear his soul.

What he didn't count on, though, was handing the damn thing over.

Now Jameson can only pray that his evil ways haven't rubbed off on Tate too much. Sometimes, it's very difficult to tell who the Devil really is …

WARNING: contains a semi-reformed devil, a woman scorned, and more Sanders than anyone has a right to witness. Also graphic sexual situations and strong language.

My Review

So the last book ended on a high note. Some spoilers ahead!!!

Tatum is in hospital after a very public and serious attempt at self-harm. Jameson was out of his element when he heard that Tatum almost died. He tries to meet and talk to her but she doesn't listen and asks him to leave her alone; which Jameson does by going away. Then Tatum recovers and she is now something else. She changes herself completely and tries to cope with the trauma of what she has done to herself. 

There are a lot of Sanders and Tatum scenes in this book and they are wholesome. Sanders is just amazing ❤. The banter between the two is to die for 😂. Everyone is babying Tatum at this point and she is annoyed by it all. Sanders gifts her tickets to Spain and Tatum agrees to go on a vacation with him. When they reach Marabella someone else is waiting for them there and Tatum loses it. There was a fight, a lot of shouting a lot of sarcastic banter and that's how the story proceeds.

This second book is nothing less than the first one. It is even better. Jameson is a little bit more caring and Tatum acts like she doesn't care. the back and forth argument was epic in this book. If you want you can buy the full set here on kindle.

“Don't forget to put this away, you don't want to lose it.”She looked up to see him holding out her passport. She slowly took it from him, looking it over. “Where did you find it?” Tate asked.“On the deck, last night. Remember? You told me to 'pick up your shit',” “Oh. Yeah. Where's the rest of it?”“Well, since no one has ever said those words to me before, I couldn't quite figure out what they meant. I thought about waking Sanders up so he could explain them to me, but that seemed silly, so I figured I should just sweep it all under a rug,” Jameson replied, strolling across the deck towards the back of the boat. She looked at the floor.“Jameson. You don't have any rugs,” she called out.“I know. So I kicked your shit overboard.”  

My Rating
Overall: ★★★| 5 Stars
Plot: ★★★★ | 5 Stars
Characters: ★★★★| 5 Stars
Ending: ★★★★★| 5 Stars
Fun: ★★| 5 Stars
Spice Level: ðŸŒ¶ðŸŒ¶ðŸŒ¶| 3/5

  • Sanders trying hard to make Tatum and Jameson reconcile
  • Tatum trying very hard to become a tough girl
  • Jameson trying very hard to get into the good graces of Tatum

The Worst Part:

Ellie, Mr and Mrs. O'Shea, Petrushka, Dunn

My Favourite Words

“I wanted to learn about him so I could hate him more. I didn't expect his answer to make me want to forgive him. Cheating bastard !” 

“This motor is a bitch. I finally get you to be compliant, and then something else gives me shit. Story of my life,” he joked, finally turning around.” 

Jameson cooked dinner. Tate thought she was going to have a heart attack. She had never seen him cook before, hadn't ever seen him even operate a microwave. She kept peeking in the kitchen, watching him as he made shrimp scampi. He caught her staring one too many times, though, and stood back from the stove, offering to let her cook. She snorted at him and sat outside.

The Awakening | Zodiac Academy Series written by Caroline Peckham and Suzanne Valenti | A Book Review

Alright, here I am, sharing my thoughts on the first book The Awakening from Zodiac Academy series written by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti . I decided to start reviewing this series as it falls under the 'enemies to lovers ' and 'bullies romance' genres, which are right up my alley. I'm a sucker for this type of book and I am always on the hunt for such books. Someone made a video of this book on TikTok and I was like I had to read it. So, I began reading the book and I fell into a rabbit hole of Magic Academy, hot assholes, and alternative Fae world. It felt like diving into a more mature version of Harry Potter. Needless to say, I absolutely loved this first installment.

Where is Molly by H.D Carlton | A Review

  Where is Molly is a stand alone book written by H.D Carlton. It is set in the Universe of Haunting Adeline. The story revolves around Molly...the girl we found in Hunting Adeline. Her diary was founded by Adeline under the floor and us readers always wanted to know if she succeeded in running away from that awful place.  Blurb A spinoff of the Cat & Mouse Duet... “Molly Devereaux has been missing for more than two weeks, and police are still searching for the girl who seemed to vanish out of thin air. The world still wants to know... Where's Molly?” In my dreams, I never escaped the Oregon woods. Life after death isn't easy to accept, especially when I still feel like a ghost. Now, I live deep in the mountains of Montana—the paradigm of beauty. But they are also the home of horrors. Horrors that I only unleash at night. When my pigs are allowed to feast. It is strongly recommended to read Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline before reading Where's Molly. Important No...

Lightlark by Alex Aster | A Book Review

A Fellow booktoker recommended me this book. She talks about it all the time and makes really catchy videos featuring this Duology. I got interested and purchased this book. Lightlark is the first book in the series written by Alex Aster. I got to know some pretty interesting facts about the Author and how this book was published. You should learn it too this is not my story to tell 😅. Anyhow I started reading this book in March and finished it one week. Somehow I got late in writing and reviewed all the books I read in March. So now I am starting again. This is the brief of this book on Goodreads; Welcome to the Centennial. Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play. The invitation is a summons—a call to embrace victory and ruin, baubles and blood. The Centennial offers the six rulers one final chance to break the curses that have plagued their realms for centuries. Each ruler has somet...
