This was just OK. I was into the plot line at first. The story was Interesting and the pace was pretty good, but the MC’s aloofness started to get old quickly. Then, the story got spicy AF, and that was fun! I thought the story dragged on too long and a lot of the happenings were just unbelievable and fantastical. Basically, the smut was good but the story was weak.

I don’t know what I expected out of this story when I heard what it was about but this just wasn’t my jam. If you’re into taboo relationships this is probably better for you. It was written decent? It kept me engaged the entire time, while I hated what I was reading, I had to know how it ended. I know they are not blood related but the constant use of family terminology was icky to me and the MC being freshly legal but still in school was just weird. She could have been college age, but I understand it’s part of the plot for her to be underage. I don’t know if this was also meant to be a bully type novel but some of the stuff that happened/ was said to the MC was super messed up.

A 5 star rating for Credence, can we get a round of applause for Penelope Douglas? Because wow, just wow am I speechless after finishing this book. I went into Credence knowing some but not all about this book. I knew the relationship of the characters and that there were some questionable actions happening between them, I just never would’ve expected to love it so much. The overwhelming way I instantly connected to the emotional struggles of the FMC, I wanted to put the book down and never pick it up again but it continued to call me and read it. So I gave in to the temptation and stayed up till 4/5am just trying to read as much as I could. Feeling every emotion Tiernan felt throughout the whole book, placing myself in her shoes, in her story, just to escape from mine. I cried, I laughed, and I loved all through this fictional girl who probably saved my life tonight. Waiting till the day I find my Kaleb.

This was the worst book I read in my entire life. 1 star is too much for this bad excuse of a book.

DID NOT FINISH: 15%

… maybe because I’m 30 and no stranger to 🌶️🌶️ books nor my own sexy experiences, however this book is just off. I have no triggers , however after 6 chapters in I could tell that this book is just riding off of a shock factor, rather than make sense and have a flow. And there’s just something about “as soon as she turns 18, let’s fuck her” type of vibe that I’m just not all on board the choo choo train. DNF

2.0

honestly had to push through reading this only because I knew how it ended and I needed to know how it happened. the ending isn't really worth the trauma those books caused me.

page 1 to 200 : nothing really happens. Tiernan learns how to live on a farm and tending to a household in the middle of nowhere in winter. [barn keeping, hunting, fishing, etc]

200 to 350 : hell breaks loose. literally. a fire, some sexual content [bordeline assault tbh], fights, anger issues, isolation for long period of time.

350 to 470 : we learn what happened to Kaleb and why he's the way he is. Jake finds the person he needs and Noah realizes racing his the love of his life.

the 2 last chapters are cute but do not counter balance the darkness in the rest of the book.

the first 200 pages were useless, my friend who was reading the book picked up where I was so we could read together and she said that she understood everything.
