5.0
I have received an ARC copy of this book from the Author in exchange for an honest review.
I'm not rally sure where to start.
I have to admit it was a bit hard for me to get into reading. Not because of the writing style or that it did not grab my attention. It did. Straight away. But the editing made me cringe. The words sometimes were divided into two and it wad hard to follow. Not always, but sometimes it made me put the book away and walk due to frustration.
But the story...
The story is told from POV of the main character, Brooklyn. A damaged girl, just before her 18th Birthday. She is not a normal girl, where shopping, boys and partying are all she can think off. No she is different. She has demons that consumes her. Making her find pleasure in something, that other people would think as sick. Different. Forbidden.
Brooklyn, since she was 12 and after a tragic night, which left her scarred both inside and outside, lives with her uncle Jonathan. A guy, who knows what is she struggling with, but loves her regardless.
Brooklyn, is a strong heroine. She knows what is wrong with her and she knows that she needs to keep her demons hidden from everyone. Even from her Uncle. To hide them away and to give in to her pleasure, she decides to be a tattoo artist. By doing it she can let loose her imagination go wild by drawing things and satisfy the hunger by transferring them to an art on human body. And life was perfect. Even if she was not perfect. And then she met Daniel. Sweet, handsome drummer from a band, who fell for her even after learning about her past, about her ugly second self. And she thought life cannot be better. Until the past comes back, roaring into her face and making her life miserable once again.
I liked the book, LIKE REALLY liked it. But the end left me feeling a bit meh. I didn't have the catharsis I expected to have. What took it away? I think the rushed ending, that there was no build up and the BOOM! where everything just goes either well or not. I missed that. Maybe it was me only. TO be honest with the way it was going I was HOPING for a cliffhanger. But then it was there. A small paragraph telling me it is over.
But overall I would recommend the book. It is well written, characters are amazingly well developed and the story line is grabbing your attention. But even with all this I liked the book. It was different, refreshing.
it deserves full 4 stars. Well done!
