Reviews with content warning for Death - Credence

I do wish she would have explored a relationship with Noah, who seemed like the best fit, instead of the step-uncle. I also think it would have been beneficial to have more POVs from Kaleb. The intensity of their relationship came about so fast!

Overall, I devoured it in a little over a day and enjoyed trying to guess who she would chose, if any!

read this in 2023 on my way to work and back, read it in such a short amount of time. The writing style was easy to read which made me finish this book quickly which that's why I gave it 1/5, a lot of books slow my reading down due to sale of the writing and the pace but not this one other that I hated it. it was basically a family fucking each other, she started thinking her 'uncle' was hot (they aren't related I think) I still see it as some what incest-y. She was young I think 17 didn't turn 18 and they all had eyes for her already, she kept saying she will be turning 18 soon so it's excuse me ?. They acted like cave men and that was said multiple times due to them living in the woods secluded from everyone else, walking around shirtless and bhave very possive towards like she's property which gave me the ick like how is that hot?.Again she's the youngest and they are sharing her, first uncle, then a threesome with both brothers, then she chooses to be with the worst brother who SA'd her and I just don't like him what so ever. The fact that people consider this romance is wild, what is romance about this?. It's inappropriate as the 'uncle' you should never touch a 17 year old let alone some who calls you 'uncle', she kept calling him uncle while they were getting together and while they were flirting. The man she choose is mute therefore a lot of people excuse he's behaviour by saying he doesn't know how to communicate and he's trauma, I'm sorry just because your mute and traumatised does not mean you get to treat people like shit and SA them no thank you.

5.0

My first five Star of the year. Brilliant amazing gut-wrenching. A lovely ride.

I understand a lot of people shy away from this book due to it's semi taboo subject matter but I'm so glad that didn't bother me.

The characters are vibrant and unique. The story is well planned and so comfortable to fall in to. I read this book in a single day because it sucked me in so fully. I didn't want to put it down. The scene setting is vivid and vibrant, the story is relatable to a degree. There are some heavy topics but there is also a large dose of humor on an adult level and I appreciated that so much. I found myself laughing out loud and talking to no one in particular when certain things happened. By the end of the book I was crying for multiple reasons.

It was, from start to finish, a journey that you find yourself captivated by. I don't know why I'm surprised I loved Punk 57 and Penelope delivers even better in this book. If I ever start to do rereads (because I don't typically), I will pick up this book. I could see myself enjoying the ride again and again. If you can handle the content, read. this. book. I would definitely give it four out of five chili peppers for spice if that's not your thing then I wouldn't recommend it. Again though, absolutely five stars. Period.
