Fractured Parts

H.C. Riley

4.25 AVERAGE


Let me start off saying it just gets right to the point for Declan’s character. It had me captured from the first paragraph. This is a dark love story and everything about it was utterly beautiful and terrifying at the same time. The relationship between Declan and Echo is perfect and this man would do anything and everything for his woman. Echo goes through a lot and my heart broke for her at moments. She was fierce and stayed as strong as she could for her love Declan. This is a story I could read again.

So good. Would have been a 5 ⭐️ for me but the climax was very anticlimactic. Seriously, there was some epic build up, and then it was done. The recovery was very unrealistic. I mean seriously 4 months? That would never happen. I was very disappointed in the ending, including the epilogue. It was brief, choppy, and very rushed. 

However, the rest of the book was phenomenal. I loved their relationship. I could feel their love for each other. I live there wasn’t a bunch of wishy-washiness on her part. The sex was amazing (excluding the last time).

I feel like the entire Aria storyline was completely dropped. I understand she probably has her own book, but she was a big part of this one, and we got nothing. We don’t even get Aria and Echo’s reunion. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book is SO SO good!

Declan is perfect! And he's also your new book boyfriend! Because we all deserve someone who loves like him!

This book made me laugh, made me cry, and made me throw my Kindle lol, but I could not put it down!

The writing is amazing! The characters are so relatable and so down to earth.

My heart broke for them both, but when they came together, it was so beautiful.

HC Riley is so incredibly talented and has a way of bringing this story to life!

I was fortunate enough to receive an ARC of this book, and I'm here to tell you this book is IT!

It's dark. It has romance. It has a stalker. It has all the good stuff.

So do yourself a favor and go read it! You will not be disappointed!

I'll be over here anxiously awaiting book 2

Fractured Parts by HC Riley

Fractured Parts by HC Riley took me on an unexpected rollercoaster of emotions, and I couldn't be more thrilled about it. This dark stalker romance had me hooked from the very beginning, and here's why.

First and foremost, let me just say, "Wow!" I went into this book with little expectation, but it blew me away. The cover might not give away much, but the story within is an intense journey that explores the morally grey side of obsession and love.

The characters, Echo and Declan, are brilliantly crafted. Echo, a broken woman, and Declan, a man torn between his infatuation and his quest for revenge, come together in a way that's both captivating and emotionally charged. Echo's walls, built out of stubbornness and a belief that she's undeserving of love, slowly crumble in the face of Declan's relentless pursuit.

HC Riley's writing is nothing short of poetic, painting vivid pictures of the characters' emotions and pasts. The story's depth is truly impressive, especially when the characters revisit their haunting pasts through heart-wrenching flashbacks.

Declan's intensity and his fiery obsession with Echo are palpable. The way he devours her and cherishes every aspect of her, even her scars, is both sensual and powerful.

What sets Fractured Parts apart is that it's not just about steamy moments; it has a compelling storyline that keeps you engaged throughout. I appreciated that the book struck a balance between passion and plot, making it a standout in the dark romance genre.

As a debut novel, HC Riley has showcased incredible talent. I was completely engrossed in the story, and those last few chapters had my heart in my throat. The ending felt like a perfect full-circle moment, leaving me eagerly anticipating the next installment.

If you're a fan of dark romance with well-developed characters, intense passion, and a gripping storyline, Fractured Parts is a must-read. HC Riley has delivered a debut novel that will leave you craving more. I, for one, can't wait to dive into Spencer and Travis's story in the sequel!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 stars

The story line was hard to pull away from. Echo and Declan were meant for each other with their dark past! Wow super steamy and once I started reading I definitely couldn’t stop! Great start to a series and can wait to see where the next book takes us.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved this

There’s nothing I love more than a stalker romance but throw in spicy scenes, drama, suspense, and everything else and I loved this. Echo and Declan are broken people but they learn to heal through each other. The spice was so well done and dang, Declan is smoking hot, but Echo meets him in the middle every time. Cannot wait for the next book!

Very slow to start, mostly predictable but had one good storyline that took me by surprise 

What an amazing debut novel! I was not sure what to expect going in but the characters quickly steal your heart. All of the characters are strong and fierce and so well written.

The story is multi dimensional so it leaves you wanting to know more. It's so much more than a romance novel. Action, with a bit of twist. Cannot wait for book 2!!
