![]() ![]() I felt bad for her, especially with Jesse manipulating her when she should be devoting all of her cognitive load to self-care for her grief. I noticed in the critical reviews of this book that a lot of people were super hard on Violet, the heroine, but I actually felt like the author did a really good job capturing her stepbrother's betrayal, and her torn feelings over holding him accountable and giving in because giving in was easier. I want a book that really plunges the depths of the characters, exploring the horrors lurking in their psyche. When I read a dark romance, it's not enough that it has smut. When I finally decided to treat myself to the book, I had really high expectations- and honestly, I ended up enjoying it way more than I thought I would, considering that it contained some elements that I don't normally seek out. I've been wanting to read this for a while because my readers kept telling me that this book reminded them of something I wrote, and as a writer, I think that's always really exciting because (presumably) you write the sorts of stories you want to be reading yourself. ![]()
