Crazy Hot & Completely Disturbed 

Quote:📖

If you break, I’ll put you back together. If you run, I’m running right behind you. If you burn, I’ll burn with you.

Thoughts: 💡

Holy smokes guys this was hot!! This book opens with bloody torture and mutilation juxtaposed on deep emotional angst and pining. Which is weird, and disturbing, and totally my thing. I’m not sure why I hadn’t heard of Avina before nerdfam passed me this book, but I am glad I know about her now because 🥵🥵🔥.

If you love Shantel Tessier and Tracey Lorraine you’ll love Avina.

Writing Mechanics: ✍️
