This was such a great story. I received an arc in exchange for my honest review!
For the author's first taste of writing dark romance, she did an amazing job! I am definitely hooked on the relationship plot between the side characters as well as the two main characters. I can't wait for the next book to come out!

Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is an enthralling read! I enjoyed this book front to back and I cannot wait until book 2 comes out !! Yes that means you will be left on a cliff as this is the first book in a trilogy. This read is gonna replay in my head for a while.
The whole cult angle just pulls me in, I can get so absorbed into secret society based stories, just wow. I am so excited for what’s to come in this series and the dark I can feel coming sends chills.

I don't even know how to describe what I just read. This book took some unexpected turns right from the beginning. Elliot started her life off in foster care. Some places were ok and some were just down right bad. Her life took a change for the better when The Donovans showed up and took her to Everton. Now this is when things start getting weird. They changed her name to Eden and their son, Samuel, was unusually affectionate towards her. Eden, of course, was just happy to be in a stable home with a brother that loved her.
The town of Everton was different. They were the Children of the Divine with the Donovans at the head. Mr. Donovan was the Chosen One and the Divine's Vessel. Samuel would one day take his place. As Eden got older, she was not accepted by the children that were born in Everton. Her only friends were Samuel and another foster child to a single man, Lianne. Lianne opened Eden's life to things outside of Everton. Outside of Everton, Eden could be Elliot again. For some reason, the Divine had yet to make a choice for Eden's partner though she was well past the age that it normally happened.
I can understand that this young girl accepted all of this weird stuff because to her it was better than what she had previously. This book takes a turn. Most of the book, readers are just getting glimpses of the Divine. Eden is on the outside looking in. Lianne gives readers a little more insight, but when Eden is thrust into the spotlight, things get real. Thankfully, there is someone willing to help her. Will they be too late? What is really going on in this town? All I know is that I need book two of this series yesterday. This book turned into a thriller at the blink of an eye. I loved it. I can't wait to see what happens next.

That was seriously a wild ride that I was not expecting! This had me hooked for the very beginning. We have a crazy cult, grooming, a terrifyingly possessive "older brother," and a young girl who has no idea that the "nice family" that adopted her isn't what they seem.
The twists and turns of an unsuspecting knight and shining armor and uncover mission were not what I was expecting at all but had me reading this in one sitting! I'm in desperate need for the next book!

Good gracious this book was insane! It pulled me in from the very beginning and I was hardly able to put it down. Something feels so off and unsettling at first and you can't quite put your finger on it and until you get deeper and the shock sets in! I got so invested and then the ending GUARANTEED I would just HAVE to get my hands on the rest of the trilogy! Shocking, spicy, heart wrenching. Check the triggers!
Wow, just wow! This book was wild and definitely dark. If you like books where the main plot circulates around a cülț then you will be just as obsessed with it! And Ivy’s writing is fantastic! I can’t wait for the next book in the series!
4.5⭐
Everyone loves a good cliff hanger... Until the second book is still being written!!!!
Finding secrets had me hooked from the first pages. It was a fast paced, intriguing dark romance that kept me on the edge of my seat - I read this book in a day!
As a child, Elliott thinks she's saved from the foster system when the Donovan family adopts her and brings her to their mansion in Everton. She's given a new name, Eden. She becomes very close with her new big brother Samuel, who also takes on the role of protector. She adopts and obeys the Divine's strict way of life - one that doesn't allow her contact with the outside world.
Now, as a young woman, she's convinced by her best and only friend, to sneak out and let loose at a bar a few towns away.
Enter Kameron. A gorgeous stranger who defend her honour against a sleazy disrespectful guy trying to hit on her. There's an immediate attraction.
The two end up crossing paths again, very much on purpose, and their attraction quickly turns into more. Like a steamy bar bathroom scene
