A 5 star rating for Credence, can we get a round of applause for Penelope Douglas? Because wow, just wow am I speechless after finishing this book. I went into Credence knowing some but not all about this book. I knew the relationship of the characters and that there were some questionable actions happening between them, I just never would’ve expected to love it so much. The overwhelming way I instantly connected to the emotional struggles of the FMC, I wanted to put the book down and never pick it up again but it continued to call me and read it. So I gave in to the temptation and stayed up till 4/5am just trying to read as much as I could. Feeling every emotion Tiernan felt throughout the whole book, placing myself in her shoes, in her story, just to escape from mine. I cried, I laughed, and I loved all through this fictional girl who probably saved my life tonight. Waiting till the day I find my Kaleb.

This book is dark. It's  taboo. It's spicy. It was like watching a car crash, I wanted so badly to look away but I couldn't. I enjoyed the endgame but I do think a lot of the dark/taboo parts of the book could have been cut out. The complex trauma is written really well and overall the plot is okay. If you are a fan of dark (and I mean really dark) romances and can look past the content warnings the romance might be worth it for you. This is not a book for you if you are looking for fluff.
