The Beneath (Behind the Wall, #1). by Roxanna C Revell

4.0

The Beneath is a dark romance set in a dystopian esque world. The Beneath is the world behind the wall. Where the orphans are sent and must live by the rule of The Council. They can also never leave. Eve and Adam are unique because they are the only orphans that are full-blood siblings.

For Eve there is nothing more important than keeping her brother safe. Noah is a fourth-generation Founding Family Trueborn, part of the ruling class. He's untouchable to everyone except Eve. Their love awakens something in them both. But when Noah's family discover their secret, they tear them apart, causing Noah to spiral into a reign of violence. So when Eve is asked to do the unthinkable, she must take the deal to keep those she loves safe.

This series is part one in a three-part series and, I can already tell you I can not wait for all the other books. Eve was an interesting character to follow because she does have a sibling and in a world that was is not something that happens, made her stand out. Most people do here siblings and, I could not live without mine so, I can see why Eve does what she does for her brother. Noah was a character who took time for me to get used to but, once I
learned about his world and life, I was rooting
for him.

The world divided by a wall is something I have read many times but, Roxanna's world is different, well planned out. I enjoyed the vibe and all the setting.
Roxanna’s writing style is a joy to read, it does a great job of showing us the world and both sides of people's lifestyles. I like how the author developed the relationship and how everything unfolds. Roxanna covers many topics in this story: money, power, and public life. All handled in a way that keeps the story moving yet makes you think.

If you are looking for a unique dark romance set in a dystopian, with strong characters, a plot that keeps you guessing, and wonderful writing, then this is for you!
