emotional mysterious medium-paced

I’m very much becoming a fan of this authors writing! Her books just have the perfect balance of romance and suspense. 
 
I do love the childhood friends to lovers trope and Nash and Maddie delivered—the pining went HARD. My heart hurt for Maddie, this girl went through so much (check TW) but I’m glad she had Nash there for her. I just loved the way he loved her—he is serious book boyfriend material! I really adored them together. 
 
“Even when you were gone, the echoes of you still lived inside me, and I would play them over and over in my mind just so I wouldn’t lose the sound.”🥹

I ADORED this book! Nash and Maddie were the best friends to lovers. I loved how protective Nash was of Maddie and was always doing his best to keep her safe. Adam was a psycho and Dan flew off the handle at the end. I wish Dan’s character did a little more to warrant his ending, kinda seemed out of nowhere with his hatred towards Nash. Overall I loved this one, and can’t wait to read Grae and Caden’s book!

It’s a good story although seemed a bit far fetched as the suspense grew and the story unraveled

I liked Nash and Maddie's story. I like how Maddie and Nash have people to talk to work out their feelings and sort themselves out. The suspense portion keeps things interesting. I enjoyed how Nash and Maddie communicated. There isn't a third-act breakup.

Nash and Maddie were just 🥰😍 together.... seriously the sweetest thing I've ever seen. Mirror images of misplaced guilt and responsibility.... history filled with love and affection that they, without thought, offer one another out sheer codependency for the other half of their soul... 😍 such a sweet connection! I can't say too much without giving away the plot points, but let's just say Maddie's parents were awful and I'm glad there was some retribution on that side of things because damn. 

The obstacles that these Hartley boys and their women have had to overcome is intense because Wren and Holt's book actually made my top emotional read of the year for 2023 with how incredible these suspenseful ass plots and the multiple suspects are! This is only my second book by Catherine Cowels, but I'm hooked forsure!
