Exposed by Willow Aster
4.0
"I've never forgotten anything, Elias. You are ingrained in my heart and always have been."
I am going to go ahead and just start out this review with the fact that I 100% could not relate to Mara. There, I said it. She was very unlikable. But even though I didn't care for her, Willow did a superb job with writing her character the way that she did. She was an awful person. But damn, did that girl love hard. I loved that about her.
Aside from all of that, I think all of the tension in this one was my favorite. I thought Willow did me in during Downfall but come to find out the tension (sexual, emotional, etc) was so intense I could have screamed! I LOVED IT! So. Much. Tension. And when Willow finally does deliver to us... that girl DOES NOT disappoint.
I thought Exposed was an addictive read. A book that once I started, I had a really hard time putting down. A huge part of that was Willow's writing. I think she's found her true calling with this series. The setting, the people, the story-line. I think this is some of Willow's best work to date.
Exposed is one of the best guilty pleasure reads that I have read in a long, long time. It's not usually a book I would pick up, but my trust in Willow runs deep. I have enjoyed taking this exciting adventure from the get go.
Disclaimer: I would 100% recommend reading the first book. I know that it's advertised as a stand-alone but I think that reading Downfall will be very crucial in understand the setting, people, etc.
