Who Does Danica Couple Up With?

Answer The Question

How long did Jamie and Danica stay together

Love Island couple Danica Taylor and Jamie Allen have reportedly split up just two weeks after making their relationship official. It comes after the 21-year-old bombshell was caught kissing a former TOWIE star as he dropped her off at a train station last weekend.

1. They’re now the first couple to end their relationship from the 2022 series, which wrapped up at the start of the month and crowned Ekin-Su and Davide as the winners.
2. Their sudden split comes after dancing queen Danica was snapped kissing TOWIE’s Roman Hackett, 20, last week.
3. Giving an insight into their breakup, an insider told Mail Online that the pair have now gone their separate ways for good following the kissing drama, the Mirror reports.

They said: “Danica and Jamie have gone their separate ways. They did make their relationship official but have decided that they didn’t quite work together romantically. “Jamie has just signed for a new football team and Danica is busy pursuing endless opportunities after leaving the Love Island villa and they sadly drifted apart. 21-year-old Danica struggled at first to find love on the ITV2 show (Image: ITV/REX/Shutterstock) Danica, a dancer from Leicester, explored several connections while she was on the dating show, but struggled to find someone who ‘matched her energy’. Eventually she did find someone who she could build a connection with, but she and Jamie Allen were quickly voted off as the public’s least favourite couple.

1. However, it seems things have quickly fizzled out between Danica and Jamie.
2. It comes after Danica admitted that she’s set her sights on another reality TV show – Dancing On Ice.
3. She revealed to the Mirror that she would love to take part in the competition, saying: “We’ll just see.
4. I’m an entertainer, I’m a performer.

Anything really! I wanna be in the TV industry still, I’d love to carry on. But, we’ll just see whatever comes my way and is organic for what I stand for. “I would snap that up, yeah. It’s very me, why not and I’ve always thought about doing stuff like that so yeah, it’d be great.” she added.

Did Danika love Bryce

When I say Sarah J. Maas has outdone herself, she truly has. – World-Building is everything when it comes to a new series, especially a fantasy series. And like most series, there has to be a big information dump of the world so the reader can understand the dynamics of the environment.

Something I always appreciated with Sarah J Maas books is the way she interweaves all the world-building things seamlessly so that it’s not overwhelming or just one huge chunk of paragraph after paragraph, explaining how this is the world and all this. But she breaks it up and explains it when the need arises, which makes it easier to understand the world.

As a long time fantasy reader, it’s still hard for me to fully grasp a world within the first hundred or so pages because my mind’s still processing everything. So it was difficult for me to understand the world fully. I’m still kind of confused, if I’m being honest, and if you understand the whole world she created within this book, please let me know 😅.

• From what I got of the story, they live in this Fae world and there are multiple Fae areas like Crescent City/Lunathion, Pangera, Midgard, etc.
• And there’s also different Fae worlds—-like a multiverse—–the Sarah J Maas Multiverse, if you will, where there’s other worlds where a certain power comes from like with how the Fae and shifters come from other worlds (pg.471) and that Hel is a different universe that’s real.

When Sarah J. Maas opened up the universe like that, I was like, so you’re telling me, a Throne of Glass and ACOTAR crossover is possible?! 😆 Because of course, my mind would go there! But how cool would that be to see the whole Sarah J. Maas Universe come together.

• Now, that would be Sarah J.
• Maas outdoing herself and if she ever wrote a story crossover like that, someone needs to check me into a hospital because I’d go insane 😂.
• Anyway, Crescent City is one city of such power and it has seven different sectors with a different head/Governor who presides over the people there.

In this world there are different houses based on the elements and each has a leader and each lives in a different sector. I really love the different powers that each have from sprites, vampyrs, werewolves, and duh, Fae. But something I’m still kind of lost on is the whole Archangel world dynamic? Like who the Asteri really are? And what’s the difference between an Asteri and an Archangel? Not too sure.

• But it’s an interesting world they live in.
• If you don’t have powers, you’re thought of as a civitas, the Mortal Instruments equivalent of a mundane.
• If you do have powers, you’re not necessarily immortal unless you take the Drop.
• If one doesn’t take the Drop that person grows older, but at a glacial speed.

The Drop is such an interesting ceremony within itself where a person falls into his/her power. They have to have a Anchor/tether to the world. During the time a person makes the Drop, they have an out of body experience where their life ticks down and they have to race back to life to fully reach their power, or they fall into an endless pit of death.

• When a person makes the Drop, they gain new power and they also emit this energy called the first light that powers a lot of things and can be harsh.
• Bryce Quinlan is half–fae and half human.
• When she was thirteen she found out who her birth dad was—-the Autumn King.
• She went to him and he was a piece of trash 🤪.

He kicked her to the curb with all her things already out on the road and shunned her away. And he had the AUDACITY to buy her silence so that no one knew that he was his daughter. He never wanted to stake claim to her the day after she visited the Oracle and the Oracle was blinded by this light, which the dad took as Bryce not being good enough so he wanted nothing to do with her.

1. Honestly, the dad’s a piece of trash who has no respect for his kids.
2. He abused Ember, Bryce’s mom, and I’m BEYOND happy that Ember got out of that relationship with Bryce early on because she deserved better.
3. While we’re talking about the mom, I just want to say how much I love the fact that the mom married a sharpshooter, Randall Silago, who was good with weapons because my gosh does that skill come in handy for Bryce.

I mean, fate really was on her side with that one. I also loved how Ember and Randall clearly loved each other and took care of one another. He knew when to reel her in and when to let her run loose. And my gosh, is Ember truly related to Bryce because the woman has a mouth on her and spunk for days and I LOVE it 🥰.

I love her strength and finesse! I also loved how she would constantly reach out to Bryce, trying to talk to her. The FaceTime call where the mom literally was like, “I can see the dust on your table.” What good eyes!😂 Or what good HD quality they must have for the mom to recognize dust on Bryce’s table! She’s such a loving character! I really want to see the mom in person.

Love her! Speaking of people I loved, one of the things that set this book apart from other Sarah J. Maas book was the friendship. I mean, the friendship was BEAUTIFUL and STUNNING. There really are no words to how Sarah J. Maas enraptured such a long-term, loving, strong relationship in the span of a hundred pages.

1. Literally no words.
2. Because those hundred pages with Danika felt like I’ve known their friendship forever.
3. And there’s something to be said about a strong female friendship like Bryce and Danika because a lot of the time in books, we see girls going at it or they’re jealous of each other or they’re close, but not too close.

Like with ACOTAR, Feyre and Mor were close and I love them as friends, but Danika and Bryce felt like family—like sisters. Their bond was so strong that it just felt different, you know? And people questioned whether their friendship was more/romantic, but it was just that—-a friendship.

Hey, if it was ever going to be something more either, I would have loved that too. But to just have them be friends who supported and looked out for each other—who just got one another—was so powerful. “Through love, all is possible.” The mantra of the book. Danika’s fate. When I first read it, my initial thought was, “Wow, sounds like all the other quotes on Pinterest.” 😂 Not in a bad way, but in a way that felt like it was like all those other clichéd quotes about how love is the most powerful thing.

But as the book progressed, this quote took on a whole new meaning that is beyond special to this story and I loved what it became ♥️. But in the moment, it meant that these two strong, brave women were friends who loved each other. They had secrets they told only each other and secrets they never said to protect one another.

Both done out of love. I just want to say before I go forward, how much I admire Danika as a strong pack leader and a woman. She stood up for what she believed was right and she let the whole world know. She wasn’t afraid to speak her mind and she wasn’t afraid to take action. It really hurt that people thought of her as the “party princess” when she did all these things to help other people.

She had more compassion in her heart than anyone because even with Phillip Briggs’s rebellion, Danika gave him multiple chances to be better because she understood his case and why he was fighting for it. She respected that. So she was lenient with him until it became too dangerous.

But she understood his anger to give him a chance. This was something not anyone would do. She also was the type of person to put everyone but herself first, and I admired that. She did it with Bryce. I could relate to Danika a lot in the way we use the word love. Love is such a sacred word that most times people just throw it around and it loses its meaning.

But Danika was selective in who she said she loved and only told Bryce she loved her because that day when at the rocks where they were being shot at—-near death experience—it put into perspective how much she did love Bryce and would do anything for her.

And love is such a beautiful thing, and I just loved their friendship. Then there came that night where Danika just got out of a meeting where they were releasing Phillip Briggs, the human leader of the rebellion. He had bombs and was a threat to the Fae world they lived in because things like weapons weren’t exactly magic and could do actual harm.

Danika was fighting for Phillip not to be released, but he was that night and it put Danika on edge to not be the one escorting him when he was a dangerous person and someone she put behind bars in the first place. That night Bryce had a date with her trash boyfriend Reid.

1. I mean, he even has a trash name 😂.
2. I’m joking! Sorry Reid’s, you have a lovely name, just this Reid sucked.
3. I mean if a guy shows up late to a date he planned and then doesn’t even explain why he showed up late AND he was just on his phone the minute he did show up, I MEAN WHO RAISED YOU? A WOLF? EVEN WOLVES HAVE MORE RESPECT THAN THAT?! That was rude as heck.

I was like, good for Bryce for drinking the expensive wine to pay him back for showing up late and not paying attention to her. And good for her for leaving and dumping his sorry butt! If he couldn’t appreciate the woman in front of him and truly worship the ground she walked on, he didn’t deserve her 👏🏼.I couldn’t believe when she did walk out that restaurant, that he looked up from his phone for a second, a SECOND, and then went back to his phone like it wasn’t a big deal.

1. Honey, if he did that, you never mattered to him in the first place.
2. He’s the epitome of everything NOT to look for in a man.
3. OOOOOOOOOO! DON’T GET ME STARTED ON CONNOR!!! Truly, DO NOT.
4. Oh, well because I have to talk about CONNOR! 😰 CONNOR.
5. I just want to give the world’s saddest, most dramatic, honest to gosh, heart-breaking sigh.

If Sarah J. Maas set up the best friendship in the span of so many pages, she also set up such a good relationship between Connor and Bryce too. I don’t think we got to know Connor enough as I would have liked to, but man, even in the however many pages we got with Connor, he was SUCH A GOOD MAN.

1. SUCH A GOOD MAN.
2. And I felt that.
3. And nothing is more powerful than women’s intuition, am I right ladies? 😅 But seriously, what a good man.
4. Like you could tell he liked Bryce and respected Danika enough not to pursue Bryce because Danika asked that of him.
5. I mean, he listened to Danika because she was his leader, but at any point his raging male hormones could have been like screw this, I want to date her and he would have done it.

But no. He was loyal and he was respectful. But something changed that night where he finally got the courage to ask her out after YEARS and then he texted her all these things about how he was crazy about her and how he just wanted a chance. And then when she walked out on Reid, she finally said yes.

1. Then she said, “If you’re late, it’s over.” And he said: “I’ll never keep you waiting.” I MEAN, HE DID!!!! 👉🏼👈🏼😥 And then he was like “Message me when you’re home safe” (pg 53).
2. Because he cared.
3. And Bryce went out, did some drugs, drank some alcohol, did it with someone in the bathroom, and then went home and when the door was open, I was like, no.

NO NO NO NO NO. And then Bryce saw Connor and she saw Danika and my heart just dropped. PLUMMETED. NO. NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOO. She just said yes to Connor! She was Danika’s best friend! What do you mean they’re dead?! I COULD NOT. NO. I would like to say though, I give Bryce the utmost credit for going after the demon who “killed” Danika and the pack and then also saving Micah/angel in the alleyway because my gosh, for someone who hasn’t made the Drop yet, she was able to fight that thing off by herself.

But afterwards, my heart truly hurt for Bryce. Just the lifelessness that she was described having when they took her into the interrogation room, was such a stark contrast to the bold girl who was laughing hours before with her best friend and the girl who was finally going to give the guy she liked, but denied liking, a chance.

And that made me so sad for her. She lost not only her best friend and a future lover, but a whole pack of friends who were close to Danika too. And she was attacked. That’s sucky. I honestly don’t blame Ithan, Connor’s brother, for being mad at Bryce for doing someone in the bathroom when she was high on drugs and alcohol.

• I understand why he didn’t want her at the boat ceremony to send him and Danika off.
• But I thought it was rude that he told her she wasn’t welcome. I get it.
• He was hurt, but she was hurt too and he should have said something later on to say he was sorry for how he reacted to her because he came from a place of hurt, but he never did.

So two years later, Bryce was still lingering in her hurt. All throughout the book, it gives pieces of how deep that hurt lies and my heart really just hurt with Bryce. It’s never easy to lose anyone in life, and Bryce lost two people she loved. She never got closure with them.

She never got to say goodbye. And I think maybe, she placed blame on herself for being drunk and high off her butt to have been there to help them sooner. Or she blamed herself for all her mistakes she made that cost them their life. It explained why she didn’t drink anymore. Other people thought she went to the bars because she drank, but they were judging her character based on what they thought she knew.

Bryce stopped dancing. She loved dancing and she felt like it wasn’t right for her to do something that brought her happiness and joy when all she felt was pain and like she didn’t deserve it. And I just want to say, whoever told Bryce she couldn’t dance because she was too chubby or chunky needs to get a firm zap in the head.

• Bryce is such a beautiful young woman with curves for days and she owns it well.
• So who was that person to make her feel inadequate in her own body!? Honestly, that person was probably just jealous they didn’t look that good.
• I digress.
• What made my heart ache the most was how alone Bryce felt.
• Fury Axtar, her other kick butt friend, took off for two years and wouldn’t return her texts or calls, and then there was Juniper who was always busy with dance.

It’s not like Bryce wanted to talk to Ruhn, her brother, when she was angry at him. So it felt like no one understood her or where she was coming from. All she wanted was someone to be there and to know the pain and loss she felt, but all the people who could possibly understand were doing other things that she felt alone in bearing all the pain in her heart—this emptiness Danika left.

1. Because Danika was her light.
2. I know people don’t get it.
3. It’s just,
4. A light went out inside me when it happened.
5. Danika wasn’t my sister, or my lover.
6. But she was the one person I could be myself around and never feel judged.
7. The one person that I knew would always pick up the phone, or call me back.
8. She was the one person who made me feel brave because no matter what happened no matter how embarrassing or sh**** it was, I knew that I had her in my corner.

That if all went to Hel, I could talk to her and it would be fine. But it,,It’s not fine. I will never talk to her again. I think people expect me to be over it by now. But I can’t. Anytime I get anywhere close to the truth of my new reality, I want to space out again.

1. To not have to be me.
2. I can’t f****** dance anymore because it reminds me of her—of all the dancing we did together in clubs or on the streets or in our apartment or dorm.
3. I won’t let myself dance anymore because it brought me joy, and,
4. And I didn’t, I don’t want to feel those things.” She swallowed.

“I know it sounds pathetic.” (pg.486) I’m not sad, you are! 😥 But I could just feel her pain. The fact that Bryce was being so vulnerable and open to Hunt about what she felt meant a lot because she didn’t talk about it with anyone. She was recommended to go to therapy, but she never did want to do that.

• There is nothing wrong with seeing a therapist and saying that you feel sad or anything else.
• It’s good to have someone be there to help you shoulder the pain, the boulders, the anxiety, or the sadness you feel.
• Absolutely nothing wrong with that.
• And you would think in the year 20059 or whatever the number was, they would have normalized therapy.

Because therapy isn’t for “crazy” people. Therapy is to help people. People go through so many things and it’s crazy to expect everyone to know how to handle every single problem life throws at them or to go through it alone. No. Sometimes therapy is needed so we can hear how we can navigate life the best we can and to know that even if I go through something, that someone else has gone through it too—-has felt it too.

And that’s why this conversation she had with Hunt, was one of my favorites. They were being so unapologetically raw and open with each other about their pain, sorry, and regrets. I liked how Hunt opened up to her about how much he loved Shahar and how he still would have rebelled under her to fight for what was right.

Because Hunt was going through a lot too underneath the surface of it all—-he was grieving someone he loved and had to deal with this new life he had killing people and being enslaved. I think now’s the time to talk about Hunt because I got ahead of myself, because truly there is so much to talk about.

But Hunt is the Umbra Mortis—the Shadow of Death. He kills people ruthlessly by hand or with his lightning. He is enslaved to Micah because he rebelled against the Asteri because he believed in Shahar’s vision of a world that was freer and had no hierarchies. So Hunt fought with her and they were also in love.

I would have liked to know more about how exactly they were in love and the type of qualities Shahar had that made him love her. Because we got bits and pieces of why and how they were in love, but Shahar seems like this whole other person who’s a part of Hunt’s life, but don’t know that much about.

1. Anyway, they revolted against Shahar’s twin sister, Sandriel, but in the end the twins fought and Shahar was killed by her own twin.
2. But people blamed Hunt for how everything went down and Hunt had to pay the price by being enslaved and he was under a mountain in prison for seven years.
3. Ind of reminds me of Rhysand’s story a bit in how they both were prisoners and lived under mountains enslaved to a woman.

Hunt was sold around and eventually sold to Micah who offered him a deal where he could be free if he took as many lives as he took that day with the battle on Mount Hermon: 2,217 lives. It explained why he was the Umbra Mortis and why he killed so many people, but I couldn’t believed that in just four years, barely made a dent in his freedom.

1. Again, not condoning murder/killing, but my gosh, he only had 82 lives under his belt.
2. Like, Hunt was going to be enslaved the rest of his life 😞.
3. And it put into perspective for me, how honestly, even if he took a lot of lives it’s not like he wanted to do it.
4. He was just trying to free himself.
5. And I loved those glimpses that we see after Hunt doing his duty 😂, you know what I mean, where he’s washing himself from the blood and where he hangs his head in shame or hurt because I don’t think Hunt’s a bad guy or a killer.

He was just in a difficult and complex situation that made him act immoral and I can’t fault him for that. Still, not condoning killing or murder, but I understood why he did what he did, and the lengths he took. And him feeling guilty and ashamed for it, highlighted that good person beneath that I knew and liked.

1. Hunt wasn’t the Umbra Mortis.
2. He wasn’t a killer.
3. He was there the day that Danika was murdered and he saw how beat up and lifeless Bryce was.
4. He thought of her as a party girl too, but he let her go.
5. Then years later they find each other again because Micah reopened the Danika case because of another killing that had the same killing marks as the thing that killed Danika and the pack.

They had to work together to find the demon and whoever killed Danika because the great summit of leaders was coming up and Micah didn’t want chaos in his city, so it was best that they solved the case and find the demon before someone deemed Micah unfit to rule Crescent City.

1. They needed Bryce’s help because she was the only one there that night who truly saw the demon and who was close to Danika and that Tertian Vampyr dude who lost his life recently in the same way (the dude I talked about earlier).
2. Later on it was revealed that the angel in the alleyway that was attacked was Micah, so she essentially saved an Archangel, which was crazy! Honestly, his male ego couldn’t handle the fact that a woman saved him, a half-fae no less, and that he was an immortal all-being who got ripped to pieces by that thing.

I was really surprised when Hunt told her this because the angel in the alley seemed so innocent and normal that it made me question how it was an archangel. But it made sense. But what I really liked about the situation was how Bryce looked to make sure the angel that night was safe; she said how she asked the hospital who the angel was and if that person was okay.

But she never heard anything because they covered it up so no one would know that an Archangel got attacked in that way (male pride). The care and heart of Bryce is so pure and I love that! So Bryce was on the case and Hunt was supposed to be her guard against all the violence that might come with it.

So that meant he had to work with her on solving the case. And Micah also gave the incentive that if they solved the case of the murders, he would reduce Hunt’s debt to only ten people. I mean, that’s one way to put a fire under his butt to make him solve the case with her.

Bryce and Hunt in the beginning was hilarious 😂. The sass she had was next level and I loved it. I loved how she shut her curtains, knowing he was right outside her window on the roof, which I will say was kind of stalker-ish and creepy. Like give the woman some privacy Hunt! Honestly, I thought it was funny how Bryce truly didn’t care what he saw and how she would walk around in her underwear everywhere! That’s a big F and U.

Or how he would say to Bryce to open the curtains so he could see the TV. I’m sorry, Hunt, I didn’t know you were paying her electric bill to get a glimpse of her TV 😂. My favorite was when she went get her nails done and made him trail her in the rain.

1. And how she was there for HOURS talking to the nailtician.
2. I couldn’t stop laughing at how Hunt called Isaiah and was like, “I’m going to kill her.” But his perspective was hilarious because he was complaining about how many coats she needed and all that.
3. I bet a lot of people think the same thing if they’re not really into doing one’s nails.

Little did Hunt know that she already made a list of suspects like he asked of her and that she was doing her research with the nail thing. Because the nailtician was Teritan’s girlfriend and she was getting information on him and if he knew Danika and if he ever did drugs.

• And I just want to say, he truly underestimated Bryce.
• Honestly, a lot of people underestimate Bryce.
• It truly makes me upset.
• Hunt took a sip of Bryce’s water and shook his head.
• Not a party girl at all—–just content to let the world believe the worst of her.
• Including him.” (pg.260) Literally everyone gives Bryce no credit.

She’s SUCH a good person and I wished people saw that. Hunt saw her the way he saw Danika, a rich little, pretty girl who did it with every guy, someone who didn’t have a lot of brain, someone who partied and drank or did ditzy things like get her nails done, someone who had an air purifier/humidifier because she was trying to posh or fancy.

He even thought she was a suspect for the case because of all the evidence associating her with both cases of Danika and Teritan. For one, Bryce has the biggest, most caring, lovable, empathetic, compassionate, honest, wholesome heart there is and I would just like to say a big screw and a big you to anyone who ever thinks otherwise because they are completely wrong.

Second, she inherited her apartment from Danika and the will and that was the apartment they were going to live in. Third, she didn’t drink since that night. Fourth, the ditzy nail thing was research. Fifth, she had an air purifier/humidifier because she didn’t go to therapy but she heard from Juniper’s therapy sessions or from someone that an air purifier/humidifier could help clear her mind.

• Sixth, this girl runs like the wind anytime she feels overwhelmed and needs to let off steam because running is a release, something I can personally attest to.
• When I was going through the hardest part of my life, running helped clear my mind and get away from things.
• Seventh, Bryce hated silence because it meant she would be alone with her thoughts, her thoughts that were waaaayyyy to heavy for her to bear alone, so she blasted music and the TV and did all these things to fill the silence.

I don’t think it’s completely silent to block out the noise in our head, but I get it. I think it would be healthier if Bryce took those moments to herself to think and process her feelings, but that’s okay because people have different ways of healing and grieving and this was hers.

I remember the moment she picked up a book and said how she didn’t do things like that anymore because it was such a silent activity and it made my heart hurt for her because as a reader, reading is quiet, but it takes a person to another world. It’s a journey, and to know that maybe Bryce was a reader but didn’t do it anymore because it made the voices in her head louder, made me sad for her.

Eighth, when that bomb went off at the White Raven, did Bryce, someone who didn’t make the drop, save herself? NO! She jumped in front of Juniper, her best friend, someone who did make the Drop, someone she knew had a whole prestigious ballet career ahead of her—–she protected her.

• When Bryce did that, I was like this woman is SELFLESS! SELFLESS.
• And no one can tell me otherwise.
• She knew Juniper would heal because she made the Drop, but instinct or not, Bryce protected her because Bryce already lost a friend and she wouldn’t lose another.
• I LOVED that.
• What I didn’t understand was why Juniper slapped Bryce hard on the face—-hard enough to bleed/scar—-because Bryce saved her instead of herself.

I get it, Juniper was angry at her for risking her life for hers, but still, Juniper didn’t need to slap her! Is that how you repay a friend who tried to protect you? 😅 I don’t know. Ninth, Hunt suspected her as the killer. He kept ticking up all these things in his mind that she did it and was just playing this “act.” This wasn’t an act, sweetheart.

She loved her best friend so much. You think that pain is from acting? Give her a Grammy, give her ten! NO, that’s from pure, unfiltered hurt, anger, and grief. How DARE he think she did it. Not for a second. A minute, a millisecond did I think Bryce did it. I know we saw the story through her eyes to know she didn’t do it, but maybe heck, some parts were blurred and written off to build this idea she could have done it.

The big plot twist if Sarah J. Maas wanted to do that. But NO. I was like, Bryce didn’t do it. Plain. Simple. It was truly heartless of Hunt to make her go to the scene where there was another killer, knowing how she was the night Danika was killed. And when he told her that she was on his suspect list, I TRULY did not blame her for cursing him and telling him to go the heck away.

1. I mean the disrespect he had toward her was truly rude.
2. And he was judgmental and didn’t know who she really was so it was rude to assume the worst in her.
3. The quote I put above about Hunt saying he was wrong, made me go, “Yea, you were.
4. You owe a big, massive I’m sorry.” But it really encapsulated everything about Bryce to me.

She made people assume the worst in her or to assume whatever they want, even her own brother didn’t know she didn’t drink, but she didn’t care what they thought of her (that much) because people would always assume the worst in her anyway or to think what they want and she was tired of correcting them or defending who she really was when she knew who she was.

And I loved that. She had absolutely nothing to prove to anyone because if they want to judge her before they know her, that says a lot more about them then it does about her. I know Bryce. She’s so much more than people see or know of her. So much more ❣️. But I think she got so used to all these trashy things people said of her that it made her defensive and guarded.

I get it. When people judge you so much, you truly say a big screw you and just live your life, but at the same time, anyone who tries to come into your life, it’s hard to let them in, so the walls go up, the sass comes out. Because that’s all she’s ever known.

She’s been told time and time again she was too big, she was trash, or that she felt she wasn’t good enough. “The partying and stuff—it was the only time when the four of us were on equal footing. When it didn’t matter that Fury’s some kind of mercury or Juniper’s so amazingly talented or Danika would one day be this all-powerful wolf.” (pg.482) She felt inadequate to her friends and their great futures when she was just a half-fae who hadn’t made the Drop.

When she did all these fun things with her friends, it felt like they were friends, not this great future and her tagging along. To know that Bryce felt that way, made my heart hurt 😢. She’s so much more and I will forever say that. One of my favorite parts of the book was this apology scene between Hunt and Bryce where she tried to cook him something and they were vulnerable with each other about her sorrow, her feelings, and his sorrow and feelings.

1. I love vulnerable, honest conversations between people and they needed this to understand each other.
2. I liked how after that, Hunt truly saw her differently.
3. He saw her for her.
4. The moment when they went to the gun range with Ruhn, Flynn, and Declan was beyond epic.
5. I loved how Bryce had her Merida from Brave moment when she shot the gun like a pro and she shot the center of the target three times on the same spot because that’s how skilled she was.

And I kept laughing at how turned on Hunt was that she could handle a gun. I guess a man likes women that shoot straight. It was funny. But it was the moment I felt a shift between them where he was even more attracted to her. They shared a look and in that eyes they saw each other.

Truly saw each other. It’s a running thing during the whole book in how they look at each other and they know, or they see each other for who they really are. And I love that. Because no one else sees them for who they are—-they think one’s party trash and the other’s a lethal killer. But they know each other.

I couldn’t stop laughing at how Bryce owned Jelly Jubilee and the whole nine yards the of Crescent City equivalent to Beanie Babies 😂. It’s soooo cute. Honestly, I am Bryce 😂. I love me some stuffed animals! But it was so cute and just so childlike-innocent and human of her to have her stuffed animals in her closet.

1. Hunt knowing her secret obsession with her stuffed animals was knowing a piece of her she never showed to anyone.
2. It was funny how he thought it was something else and wanted to know 😂.
3. I also loved how normal Hunt was with his baseball cap turned backward and him drinking beer like a middle-aged uncle with baseball turned on.

What a dad! “The hat was the first thing I bought when I came here. With the first paycheck I ever received from Micah. I saw it in an athletic shop and it just seemed so ordinary. You have no idea how different Lunathion is from the Eternal City. From anything in Pagera.

And that hat just,,” “Represented that?” “Yea. It seemed like a new beginning. A step toward a more normal existence. Well, as normal an existence as someone like me can have.” (pg 408) I just loved the sentiment of the hat after that. Because Hunt had an unusual life and if wearing a hat, watching baseball, and chugging gross beer makes him feel normal, then so be it 😂.

But it’s also sweet because when he first got to Lunathion, he knew no one and had no life, and here he was trying to start over, to create a new life for himself, and the hat represented his new life, something anything from normal. As the case went on, more lives were lost and the harder it was to crack the case.

I kept wondering who did it or who Danika really was? And I just kept thinking how much it would hurt Bryce to know if Danika stole the Horn—-to feel like her best friend kept s much from her and Bryce never really even knew her friend. Part of the quest now involved Ruhn and them looking for the Horn that would attract the Kristallos demon, the demon that attacked Micah and others.

So if they found the horn, they would find the Kristallos, and then the killer. The Horn is also a fae artifact that can be used by the starborn and can bring things to life. So if someone were to have it, they would have the possibility of immense power.

• The Horn broke with a battle and couldn’t be repaired except now there was this Synth, synthetic magic/drug, that could repair the Horn and it’s powers.
• But before I get into Synth, let’s talk about everything before that with the case.
• Let’s talk about the moment Hunt and Bryce paid a visit to Sabine.

Sabine who smudged the footage years ago to save her daughter’s face. They thought Sabine killed her own daughter because she always made it known how Sabine thought Danika was trash and that she was trash for hanging out with Bryce. So it made sense why she would do it.

1. To see if she did, they went to visit her, but her wolf guards were standing outside the door.
2. And here’s the thing.
3. People can think what they want about Bryce, but out of everything the one thing that nagged me the ABSOLUTE MOST about how Bryce was treated was how everyone, everyone called her trash.

A slut, excuse my language. But there’s a lot of slut shaming that Bryce gets and it disgusts me. In no way is it right to slut shame a person. Just because she’s a young attractive woman with legs for days, a big butt, a big bust, and eyes that are seductive as heck, doesn’t mean she’s anyone’s toy to play around with or to ridicule for being beautiful.

• I just found it sleazy as heck when Teritan in the beginning was trying to cop a feel and get her into the bedroom because he felt like it was some sort of male right that because Bryce was beautiful that he deserved her in bed.
• Or how people would ogle her and say all these sexualized things.
• Sure, they might have been jokes, but if Bryce was uncomfortable by them, that’s sexual harassment.

And that’s not okay with me. And it’s not okay that people constantly made her feel like she was a slut, when she wasn’t. Dressing in revealing clothing doesn’t make a person a slut. It absolutely, 100% does NOT. It does not make the person “available.” It doesn’t make the person “asking for it.” NO.

It makes the person confident enough that that person would want to show off his/her body in a way they feel confident and proud in and no one should make anyone feel bad for someone who is proud of who they are just because they dress a little more revealing than others. Sure, it’s not the most accepted if a person is revealing a lot of skin in front of kids, but still that person’s not a slut.

Just because a person sleeps with other people a lot, doesn’t make that person a slut. Just because someone parties, doesn’t make that person a slut. And I AM SO TIRED of people who slut shame others. It’s disgusting. Some people hate their body. Some people feel so disgusted by their own body that it’s not okay to tear others down for it.

Nope. So others tearing Bryce down for it wasn’t okay. Other people holding her mistakes against her? Not okay. Other people constantly making her feel inadequate and wrong? NOT OKAY. I mean, the wolf packs had so much time on their hands that they felt sooooooo compelled to make a song called ‘I Just Hooked Up with Someone in the Bathroom, Don’t Tell Connor.’ LIKE WHAT THE BONKERS? GET A LIFE! 😡 Stop making Bryce the joke when out you’re out here jealous that she’s young, beautiful, confident, and has a good job.

I mean, are you that petty to spend all your time invested in her drama to take the GOSH DARN TIME to write a FREAKING song about one mistake she made? She’s human! Give her a break! I could not stand when she talked to Amelie and saw Ithan. Absolutely could not.

I like Ithan, he seems like a good boy, but he let his anger and hurt fester in his bones and it made him ugly. He was truly rude to Bryce when they were at the Gates, I think, with Amelie, someone who liked Connor, and they were teasing Bryce about how she was a s*** and trash and all these things. And Ithan contributed to that.

That was what hurt my heart. He’s hurt, but he shouldn’t hurt others. Connor wouldn’t be proud of how he treated Bryce years later. But then came Danika’s birthday and my heart really went to Bryce because it was a hard day for her. I loved how she sat on the bench across the Bone Quarter to be closer to Danika.

• And she had chocolate croissants because that’s what Danika always wanted on her birthday.
• It made me sad how sad Bryce was.
• It seemed life went on and no one remembered that it was Danika’s birthday except her, but Bryce remembered 😢.
• When Bryce opened up the box, Amelie changed the message on the chocolate croissants to trash.

I WAS LIVID! I was like, you know what, Amelie is trash! Because how dare she do that?! I’m honestly still wondering how Amelie even knew she was at that freaking bakery in the first place to have the message be changed to trash? Like how did she know Bryce would be there that day? But OOOOOH when Hunt flew to her, I was like, she’s a dead wolf 😂.

He was going to make wolf jerky! Honestly, I wanted him to make wolf jerky. I wanted her to feel the burn! 😂 Hunt going all protective and territorial on Amelie was the highlight of that day! Not that I condone violence just don’t you dare cross Bryce! What made it sad was how Ithan was there and he said he had no part in it, and he also asked what it was about.

Then he noticed the box and the croissants and pieced it together. And that’s when Ithan got it together. He realized how dumb and childish he was being in his grief because here he was years later, laughing at Bryce for being trash, when Bryce was the only one who remembered, who celebrated her friend.

1. Someone Ithan probably thought of as family too.
2. And he didn’t remember.
3. I loved that he reached out to her afterwards and how he tried to be better.
4. I think he needed that wake up call as much as Amelie did.
5. But gosh, did I know that Hunt was GONNA GET IT *says in Raven Simonés voice*.
6. Because Micah was going to beat his butt for stepping out of line.

Before that, Micah was already on the fence with Hunt because Micah tried to ask Bryce out or something and Bryce, only Bryce, could confidently say she wasn’t interested in an Archangel. I give her so much credit. You know what else I admired about Bryce? The way she could look down on people who were taller than her.

I mean, how does one do that? I would like to master that look myself as someone who is 5’0″ 😂. The other thing that got under Micah’s skin was how Hunt and Bryce accused Sabine of killing Danika and Sabine found out. She went to Bryce’s apartment after Hunt and her initially saw Amelie and Ithan, and then Sabine told them that Danika stole the Horn and that she switched the videos to protect her.

Personally, at this part, it still made not sense to me why Danika would steal such a precious artifact. She really seemed like she had no purpose or motive to do so, and saying Danika just wanted to steal it for fun, didn’t feel right to me because Danika might have liked to have a good time, but stealing a Horn, didn’t seem like her.

Micah didn’t like getting yelled at by Sabine for Hunt and Bryce’s false accusations, so to punish Hunt, Micah ordered him to take the life of yet another person. Bryce knew something was off from all the one-worded messages Hunt sent her and how he wasn’t watching guard over him. It really made my heart sad to see her conflicted over whether or not she should text Hunt how she truly felt—worried about him.

I understood. Because Bryce lost someone before and she didn’t want to lose him either and not because he shut her out and she should have reached out. So it warmed my heart when she just straight up texted him that she was worried about him and for him to call her.

• She truly has come to care about him and I liked how even Ruhn knew how much Hunt meant to her and was willing to help her find him after all these hours.
• It meant a lot too, how Bryce stayed up until Hunt came home—-because he now saw her house as his home.
• When Hunt walked through the door as lifeless as ever, my heart lurched for Hunt.

He had a BEYOND tough, gruesome job. I respected how Bryce gave him his space at first, because she herself had to process the person she saw in front of her, someone she knew wasn’t Hunt. Seeing it through Hunt’s eyes was also interesting because he felt like he was doing the walk of shame when he saw her.

• He felt like a monster.
• One of my other favorite parts of the book, not just because of how steamy it was, was when Bryce literally got on her hands and knees in the shower with him and washed his body and hair.
• It was so intimate, not in a sexualized way, but in a way that highlighted how she didn’t see him as a monster.

She saw him as a person who did something he didn’t want to do, but had to do for his freedom. She saw his hurt. She saw his pain. She saw Hunt. And she wanted to care for him and be there for him. And that meant absolutely the world. The fact that she didn’t shy away from all of him—-good and bad.

She was so gentle and compassionate, and I kept thinking, he’s butt-naked, how isn’t this the slightest bit weird 😂, it probably was a bit uncomfortable, but she did such a beautiful job at showing Hunt that she was there for him through the dark. I thought it was kind of funny that she held out his boxers for him to step in like a mother would do for a child.

But it also made me think of the saying in sickness and in health, and if Bryce isn’t the prime example of that, I don’t know what is. And when he held her wrist, asking her to stay, I just couldn’t. He needed someone. And she stayed.

View All posts by Aurora Lydia Dominguez As an avid reader of Sarah J. Maas and her series and books such as A Court of Thorns and Roses, to her YA fantasy Throne of Glass, I was excited to dig into her urban fantasy book Crescent City: House of Earth and Blood,

• While it’s a thick and heavy tome, I really enjoyed getting to know the stories and characters.
• With that said, Crescent City #2: House of Sky and Breath is set to release on February 15, so I have taken on the task of preparing a recap for you where you can best understand what happened in book one, to get you ready for book two.

So, expect many spoilers below! The novel begins with introducing us to Bryce Quinlan, a 23-year old half-Fae who spends her days working at Griffin Antiquities, a quaint little shop in Crescent City. Bryce is accompanied by Jesiba Roga, an enchantress; Lehaba, a fire sprite; and Syrinx, a chimera.

1. We discover a lot of characters in the start of the novel, including Bryce’s bestie, Danika, who is the granddaughter to the Werewolf Prime and alpha to the Pack of Devil, and Archangel Micah, Governor of Crescent City and wider Valbara.

Thank you for signing up! Keep an eye on your inbox. By signing up you agree to our terms of use Also, in Crescent City, different packs and groups rule and there is a definite strain obvious between different creatures that reside there. Danika and Bryce are dealing with Philip Briggs, a villainous entity, who was caught by Danika’s pack trying to blow up a nightclub to ignite the war between humans and vanir, the creatures with magic and lengthy lives.

Once Briggs is taken out of prison, Danika decides that it’s time to meet with Micah and see what’s up with that. After this, we learn that not only Micah rules the city, but there are other heads of different districts that also assist him. In part one, we also learn that Danika and Bryce are not yet fully immortal, but hope to become so when they turn 27.

Bryce has human qualities instilled in her, so her power will not be as strong as Danika’s and could lead her to danger. This also could prove dangerous in her recent task given to her by her store colleague, Jesiba, which includes finding an ancient Fae relic, known as Luna’s Horn, which was recently stolen.

1. One night, Bryce gets ghosted through text by Danika, which is unlike her, so she heads to her bestie’s place and finds her and the rest of the group killed.
2. Shocked, she sees a demon escaping from the scene and trying to kill a fallen angel, so she tries to protect the angel and is caught by two other ones, who place her in a cell.

Towards the end of part two, we meet more characters, such as the two that took Bryce into the cell: Isaiah, a ruthless leader, and the brooding Hunt Athalar, who is also known as Micah’s personal assassin. They were part of an angel rebellion 200 years ago, and once the rebellion did not work, they were known forever as fallen angels.

Meanwhile, Bryce is completely devastated at the loss of her best friend, and when she’s finally released from the cell thanks to a mysterious call claiming she’s got a distant Fae cousin, she comes out to the news that Briggs was again arrested for the recent murders, and that she’s not welcome at Danika’s funeral.

Tragic, for sure. Part two begins two years after Danika’s funeral. Bryce quickly learns from Hunt and Isaiah that one of their friends was recently murdered and found with the exact same injuries that Danika suffered. This leads to Hunt being assigned as Bryce’s protector to investigate the fact that Danika’s murderer might still be around.

• Micah assigns him to the task, since he technically owns Hunt after he got him from former powerful owner Sabriel after the angel rebellion bombed, and Hunt’s debts to Micah would go down significantly if he solves the mysterious killings.
• What follows, in usual Maas style, is a mix of action and drama, as Bryce and Hunt team up to get to the bottom of the murders.

Also, remember that artifact that Bryce was tasked to find, the Luna’s Horn, the ancient Fae relic? Turns out other creatures are after this artifact as well, and it might just be connected to all these grisly murders happening in their city. There’s also tension between Bryce and Hunt, and at one point a disagreement leads to Bryce almost being killed in another bombing, which makes Hunt decide to move in with her to protect her at all times.

• During this time, there’s a ton of other suspects, as well as other killings, and we learn that Briggs had nothing to do with it all.
• Towards the end of part two, the main suspect is Sabine, Danika’s evil mother, but they need more evidence to prove it.
• A whirlwind of events follow in parts three and four, Sabine is confronted by them, and she tells Bryce that it’s her fault that her daughter was killed.

Hunt and Bryce also team up, kiss, and realize they have feeling for each other, which is not a surprise after prior obvious romantic tension. Bryce is also accused of owning the Fae Horn artifact, and they find out that Danika was apparently dealing synth, a dangerous drug produced by Redner Industries that has the power to summon demons and turn humans violent against others.

Bryce also loses her apartment to a fire, and begins to question Hunt, thinking he’s dealing drugs (synth), but he tells her that Danika stole the formula as well as the stock and sold it years ago, which is probably what led to the killings. Hunt ends up locked up, and Bryce is really not wanting to see him again after all this drama.

In the last part of the book, Hunt is in jail, and while Bryce is still really upset at Hunt, she decides to try to buy him from Sandriel, who now owns him again. Sandriel refuses her offer, which leads to Bryce offering herself to be purchased instead to free Hunt.

• That’s when she finds out she’s actually the powerful Fae Autumn King’s daughter and that Micah has been after the Fae Horn and its powers all along and is not the nice guy you might think he was.
• Turns out, Bryce IS the Horn, thanks to Danika stealing it once, grinding it to dust, and mixing it with witch ink and tattooing it on Bryce, which she does not remember.

Micah was a long-time investor in Redner Industries, and Danika was simply trying to protect other half-humans and humans, like bestie Bryce, by keeping an eye on the synth experiments: she was innocent. Micah injects Bryce with synth, in order to summon the powers of the horn inked in her, and releases the demonic power.

1. Bryce rushes to get an antidote to protect herself at Jesiba’s store, and when Micah follows her, she kills him.
2. Once outside, she realizes her Horn activation has led to all seven portals and its demons being released and there’s no way out of the city.
3. Bryce also discovers that she is a powerful heir to the Starborn Fae, a legion of extremely super powerful Fae, a secret her mom and Danika knew.

In the end, it is Bryce who saves the day with her super powers, as she closes the powerful Gate that connects to the seven portals and stops the demons from infiltrating, and Danika’s remaining soul spirit saves her from death, as Bryce is brought back to life after using her newfound power.

Also, Hunt is pardoned and freed, but they are both warned that they should never speak of the Horn in exchange for being pardoned from all of their past killings, such as Micah and Sabriel, who Hunt also killed to save Bryce’s powers. Whew! So yes, that is Crescent City #1 in a nutshell, a book which I could go on all day long explaining it and breaking it down.

But there’s no time for that! Also, dear readers, we are almost at the release of book two, which begs a few questions for us to ponder. Will we get more romance between Hunt and Bryce? Will they be able to stay quiet about all the betrayals and recent happenings and protect their own lives? I have a feeling yes on the romance, not on the staying quiet, because if not, why would there be a book two? I am looking forward to seeing what’s next.

How old is Danika in Love Island?

What is Danica’s age? – Love Island’s Danica is 21-years-old and hails from Leicester. She said before entering the villa she is determined to go after what she wants, admitting: “I am definitely going to go in there and step on a few toes and I am more than happy to go after what I want. Love Island star Danica is 21-years-old. Picture: ITV

We both bring out the best in each other.’ Meanwhile, speaking about whether the couple would keep something going on the outside, Jamie said: ‘Definitely – there’s no reason why not.

That doesn’t change the connection we have. We’ve already talked about a few dates we’re going to tick off the list.

Good things do come to an end and I had the most incredible experience, I’ve made friendships for life and I am hopeful for the connection I’ve come out with. “That’s what the aim of the game is, to find love and I think I could potentially have found that with Jamie.” Speaking about growing closer to Jamie over the past week and what might be next for the pair, Danica said it’s early days but that the pair bring out the best in each other.

Are Gemma and Luca back together

When did Gemma Owen and Luca Bish break up? – In November 2022, the former couple both released fairly bog standard statements on their Instagram Stories (Gemma’s was very clearly read and re-read by a team of PRs and her mum – we’re guessing), announcing the news to their millions of followers. Gemma and Luca in happier times ©ITV Pictures Gemma’s statement read, “To all my followers, “I wanted to let you know that Luca and I are no longer in a relationship. It wasn’t an easy decision but ultimately this is what is best for both right now. “Many of you have been on this journey with us from the very beginning, and I want to thank you for your continued support as we start new chapters. Gemma confirmed she and Luca had split on Wednesday 16 November © Instagram/gemowen_1 Naturally, Gemma’s announcement shook social media – as well as showbiz editorial teams across the country – to its core. If you weren’t talking about it or reading about it, your phone was probably dead or you were working away during your designated working hours.

• Good for you.
• Within a couple of hours, news of the split was everywhere and everyone was having their say – except Luca.
• By the evening, he released his own statement on the breakdown of the relationship and, being the expert shade sniffers we are, we can tell you a little shade was thrown in Gemma’s direction (for releasing a statement to begin with, we’re assuming) when he said, “I would’ve liked some time to process this privately but as you already now know sadly Gemma and I made the mutual decision earlier today to go our separate ways.” We can literally hear the RuPaul’s Drag Race shade rattle going off.

Luca’s full statement read as follows, “Switched my phone back on after taking some time out to clear my head after an emotional afternoon to thousands of messages and news articles about my breakup. “I would’ve liked some time to process this privately but as you already now know sadly Gemma and I made the mutual decision earlier today to go our separate ways. Instagram/lucabish Gemma and Luca’s split was all the more surprising as it came not even 24 hours after Luca gushed about her and even suggested they might move in together during a red carpet appearance at the ITV Palooza. Awks. “Yeah, unbelievable,” Luca replied when asked how his relationship with Gemma was going.

What did Billy say about Danica?

Asked if he would change anything from his time in the villa, Billy said: ‘ The challenge, I would’ve snogged Danica instead of Gemma. ‘But the only reason I did that was because I knew Gemma was going to pie me and I thought, ”I’ll have a bit of banter, give her a peck and laugh it off. ”

What happened with Danica Love Island

‘The way that he treated me was absolutely disgusting’ – When we think underrated Love Island stars, the name Danica Taylor definitely comes to mind. The professional dancer entered the Love Island 2022 villa as a bombshell hoping to turn heads but it went wrong when she chose to couple up with Luca Bish, who was very much laser focused on Gemma Owen at the time.

Sadly, things didn’t get much better and she coupled up with a whopping six different boys in total – including Jacques O’Neill and Billy Brown – before being dumped from the villa alongside Jamie Allen on day 51. Shortly after they left the villa, Danica split from Jamie and she’s been single ever since.

A year on, Danica thinks she worked out why she given such a rough ride in the villa, claiming that it all started when Luca refused to give her the time of day when she coupled up with him. It’s safe to say that Danica didn’t exactly receive the warmest welcome from Luca ©ITV2 Speaking to Toby Aromolaran on his podcast Fancy A Chat?, Danica said, “It was the best time of my life but I feel like now I’m a little bit more settled, I’ve watched the winter one and I’m currently watching the new summer one and it’s really occurred to me how badly I was done in there. Danica finished Love Island 2022 in sixth place with Jamie Allen ©ITV2 She added, “There was a lot of people that definitely got away with it way too quickly or too easily. I should have been a bit more y’know, but I’m not bitter. Let bygones be bygones and all that.” Danica told Toby that she regrets picking Luca, admitting, “It’s really hard because I actually really like Luca’s sister.

Luca’s sister is really nice but Luca treated me like an absolute see you next Tuesday and I don’t really have anything too nice to say about that situation. I don’t think he’s a bad person, but I think the way that he treated me was absolutely disgusting. “What’s upsetting is why did nobody tell him how bad it was? Why did he let me sleep in the bed alone? I was a new bombshell and that man wouldn’t even be this close to me and turn his back.” The 2022 Islander claims that Luca’s attitude towards her “filtered down” to the other Islanders.

“If the main cool guy don’t think somebody’s worth it then some of these other guys will be like, ‘Oh, maybe she ain’t,” she explained.
