I’m gonna call it and say this is the best book I’ve read in 2024. I was booked from the very beginning of this one.

Ive never thought a character should commit suicide but all I could think is that if I was Dean then I would have…. It it never happened. This book was constantly throwing me the unexpected and I couldn’t put it down. 

I feel heartbroken, sad, uncertain… yet happy for the ending. I do hate “8 years later,” type endings but it was very necessary for what this story was and it was. Hard story. This one is not for the faint hearted.

Shit…I loved this book so much. It broke my heart and glued it back together. It was truly a beautifully written book with soul! I don’t normally cry during books…but this one definitely got me. I recommend this book 100% but please read the trigger warnings. 


Also this may or may not be a controversial opinion but I despise Mandy. I understand that she was upset but she was so incredibly selfish when her sister needed her the most and I would never forgive that. Having a younger sister myself and reading how Mandy treated Cora…I just could not get over how awful and inconsiderate she was acting. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This book broke my heart! This is the most well written emotional book I've read. I could feel our main characters pain and suffering throughout the book. It was also a more realistic look at how people would cope with trauma. A lot of dark romances wouldn't even touch on emotional fall out but this one dives in deep. The way all the side characters kept treating our main characters after their abduction made me so angry but I imagine that was the point. Noone can truly understand what you go through. I highly recommend this one for it's incredible emotional journey of healing and love.

Enemies to Lovers?.. or does that even count in this situation? It’s a strong battle with the two main characters, Dean and Corabelle. You watch them hit the lowest of lows, but become triumphant in the end. I am proud of Dean making the hard choices of the two because I could only imagine after everything they went through. This was an interesting read.

PLEASE READ ALL TRIGGER WARNINGS PRIOR TO STARTING THIS BOOK!
