Bad Bunny

by Lexi Davis

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Okay, hear me out. A kindergarten teacher. A fated mate who is currently a large, fluffy white rabbit. I know how that sounds. But Bad Bunny by Lexi Davis is genuinely one of the most fun ARCs I've read this year, and the execution is so much better than the premise has any right to be. I was hooked from the first chapter and laughing out loud by the third.

The devastating conclusion to the Court of Ravens duet. This one does not let up. If anything, it deepens everything the first book started and pushes the emotional stakes even further.
