Reviews with content warning for Abandonment - Wretched

There is no redeeming qualities when it comes to Evie in my mind, that woman is off her rocker. I did like Nick, though, which made it more complicated. Also the spice hit well.

Dark Romance, Enemies to Lovers, 3 3/4 🔥

I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the female being the “bad guy,” but it was done so well. She was still portrayed in a way that made her sympathetic in a dark way of course. Spice was also top notch.

3.5 stars! ⭐️

Very very very spicy, quick, and easy read! 🌶️

A cool alternate universe twist on the wizard of oz! Thanks Jessica for the recommendation! I loved slowly trying to figure out who each character represented in the original story!

The only issue I had with the book was that I didn’t necessarily like or agree with how it ended. But other than that it’s a very wild ride!

Side note: Even though the entire story is completely based in Illinois, I 100% read this entire mobster book in my head as Buddy the Cake Boss would. Hoboken style BABY! 🍰

wretched is probably my most favorite out of the never after series so far! the story line is intriguing. the smut is still my least favorite 😂 but if you ignore the cringy smut, its worth the read solely for the plot. also a twist that it’s the fmc whose unhinged & not the mmc. i like evelina & how she doesnt stand for anyones shit. Dorothy deserved what she got coming to her!

This was a wonderful re-telling of the classic wizard of OZ. Character names are different and the setting is completely new. I loved how imaginative it was and the character strain of emotions was intense! Love, love, love this book!
