Not feeling it. I think right now I’m not interested in protagonists who are teenagers.

I really enjoyed a Sea of Ruin. I even got my friend who is picky with her books to read it and she loved it asking if I had any other book recommendations. I selected the book as medium paced, but if anything, it is kind of fast paced. There weren't any dull spots in the story, there was always something happening and made you not want to put the book down. I truly went through all of the emotions reading Sea of Ruin. There is definitely trigger warnings that I recommend looking up before reading as there is SA and rape. I don't know the specific pages it happens in the book, but it is definitely towards the middle/end of it.

There is no one who write dark like Pam, and I will die on that hill. I was so lost in this book I couldn’t put it down. The writing was beautiful and captivating. Pam had a way of taking you on a dark and twisted journey but making everything ok with heart stopping words. I loved this story from start to finish. BRAVO!

I devoured this book. This is not for the faint of heart, however, if you are strong enough, it is a great read. Dare I say one of my top 5 this year.  Pam Godwin is a master at writing. The writing even elevates the smut. There are many triggers in this book (SA, graphic violence,… you name it.) I had to skip a paragraph or so that detailed SA. Nonetheless, I could not put this book down. I feel like I know the characters. I know I’m going to be in a reading slump after this.  I would recommend a thousand percent.

This book managed to keep me captivated into the wee hours of the morning even when I was distracted by life stress. It was gripping and sexy and exactly what I hoped for. Mind the trigger warnings
