Who decided the rules for everyone else? Society or God?Man or myth? What if a person wants to bend the rules? What if a person wants to crush them?

New Favorite Series
Pocket of Blame is a solid start to this new series and kept me enthralled from start to finish. I cannot wait for the next installment in this series. Chloe Walsh proves once again that anything she writes is guaranteed to please.

This was so goood and what an interesting start to the series! It gripped me from the beginning and you can really feel Romi’s pain and anguish. I cannot wait to find out what is actually happening because I am still on edge and that cliffhanger..

“I don’t want your sorrys," he strangled out, chest heaving as hard as mine now. "I want your secrets.”
Pocketful of Blame is the first book in a four part new adult suspense. Not sure if that’s actually what the author considers it, but that’s what I just read. There’s this triangle of friends, Chris, Romi, and Sketch. Chris and Sketch are twins, and Romi is their sweet, innocent, and beautiful next door neighbor. They all have known each other for most of their lives.
So Romi falls for Sketch. Sketch breaks her heart, and Chris picks up the pieces. Chris dies. Sketch starts to bully Romi, because Chris died while she was driving, and he has all these teenage man rage feelings, so now he’s a bully.
BUT ALL IS NOT AS IT SEEMS. Romi knows that. Sketch thinks he knows that, and so we have the goal. What is really going on in Pocketful? In this book we see the dynamic between Romi and Sketch, and now throw in Chris’s bestie Quinton Presley. They are basically the new triangle. Not quite the triangle you’re thinking though. We meet the parents and step-parents. We meet some teachers. Basically Pocketful comes off like a pretty normal place. The book ends with a bit of a cliffhanger. I’d consider this book an introduction or maybe even an extended prologue. I’m excited to see what happens in the next books, but I hope that the tension between Romi and Sketch feels more heated and authentic. It was a little awkward in this book for me. Felt more told about them and less shown about them. The inner monologues also felt a bit repetitive and drawn out at times.
That being said. The banter was good. Especially when you throw in Quinton, and the plot is good so far. I am on the edge of my seat wanting to solve this mystery. It’s like if the Scooby gang lost the dog and added some sex. That’s the Scooby doo I need in my adult life 😂

okayyy interesting, i’m in. There were a few conversations waaaay too frustrating, but I’m intrigued. Also, the first chapters made me feel a lot of sadness and grief. It felt awesome heh I love feeling things.
As I usually do for sagas, my full review for all the books is going to be on the last book when I finish them all!
