Red Thorns Review

3.8/5 ⭐️

At this point, I’m just barrlong through all of Rina Kent’s books. Some of the characters are staring to get repetitive, but the story lines are still very enjoyable. If you read God of Wrath, you’ll really enjoy this book. The cliff hanger at the end made me furious (in a good way) and I’m already halfway through the second book. 

Going from Royal Elites to this is refreshing because these characters are closer in age to me, have a slightly more mature mindset and have ~closer to~ (and I use that loosely) some real world problems. The whole jock/angst cheerleader dynamic is fun and I’m looking forward to see if that plays into any other plot lines in the duology.

Sebastian is dark and twisted, but he also has a sweet spot, which is Naomi. He accepts a bet from Reina that has something to do with Naomi, but in the end he falls deep and hard for her. Naomi is sassy and I loved her sarcasm, but she also has something dark in her. She is a little anti-social, hence why her mother wanted her to be a cheerleader. 

I loved the chemistry between them, and that Rima put some Japanese themes in the story. Naomi was half Japanese, and both her and Sebastian liked anime. The spicy scenes are hot, but that’s not something new, we already know that Rina knows how to write them very well.

The book and on a cliffhanger, and I can’t wait to read the second book in the duology. I have a feeling that we will find way more information and the truth in that book.

Honestly was a fever dream but definitely read trigger warnings. There were some good plot twists but if you pay attention you can see them coming. Hella smut tho.
