So clearly there is something wrong with me but that’s for my therapist to dissect. This book has been on my tbr for years and I was so scared of it cause everyone said it was really bad and filled with incest. In legality terms maybe, in blood terms… no. Yes there’s some pretty taboo themes and questionable choices at times but I think we all need to remember that this isn’t reality. We are stepping into another world where things may not be as black and white as the pages of the book. This book is set up really well and as with most of this author’s works it has substance (as opposed to what all those one stat reviewers say). There is a plot and it’s actually pretty heartbreaking most of the time. I think the people reviewing low either bypass the trigger warnings or think they can handle more than they actually can. I liked the relationships Tiernan formed with Jake, Noah, and Kaleb. I think each of them had such distinct personalities that it almost felt like reading multiple books at once with one overarching plot. Almost like Devil’s Night but with the same fmc of course. I was in such a reading slump the past few weeks but I read this book super fast, and when I wasn’t reading I was thinking about what was gonna happen next. I don’t recommend reading before you’ve read the trigger warnings, I didn’t read them but I also haven’t been triggered by a book in the past and I’ve read much worse than this. Again that’s a problem for my therapist that I will not likely address. All the love, always <3

This is the worst thing I’ve ever read, but I have to give it two stars cos I couldn’t put it down.

I honestly think I read things which I’ll need to talk to a therapist about. Traumatised…

I have never had to force myself to finish a book the way I had to with whatever this was. The characters were unreal, and not in a compliment way, but in a way that there is no way anyone would ever be like this in real life. So many things happened in this book where I had to shut it, take a lap, and try to reconnect with nature.

This book will stay with me, haunt me during nights where I feel at peace, only to remind me that this is something I had to read and sit with.
