The premise of this book is… really dark which intimidated me initially, but EVERYONE kept raving about it, not just the dark romance girlies so I decided to give it a try…
and BOY WAS IT WORTH IT!
•
I was VERY confused about how the author would redeem our MMC bc he’s a mass murderer and our FMC’s racist captor and r*pist…. it’s really a trust the process moment because about 1/3 of the way through the book I realized what was going on and it totally flipped everything on its head.
•
I ADORE the author’s writing style, as soon as I picked up the book my eyes would glaze over as if I were watching a film!
I kept procrastinating reading it because I just wanted the experience of reading it for the first time to last forever!
•
This book was VERY heavy at points to where I felt I couldn’t draw full breaths I was so anxious, so PLEASE HEED THE TRIGGER WARNINGS! (they’re there for a reason)
•
Was I in emotional turmoil for most of this book? Yes.
Did I enjoy every second of it? YES!
Did I love the ending? Also yes which is VERY important because I intentionally avoid books with sad endings.

Consider this my review for Manacled, since it's disabled on GoodReads now. THIS BOOK. It was one of the most addicting, captivating, and soul-wrenching stories I’ve ever read. I loved the last 2/3rds with all my heart. Two people finding each other in the darkest of times and loving each other despite their trauma and grief and dark twisty hidden parts…I’ll never get over it. The ultimate enemies-to-lovers. The High Reeve is my morally grey KING.
Listennnnnn I love yearning and UST and I willlllll be reading the real version of this when it’s out
I normally would never rate a book before I actually read it, but this is different. Because I’ve read this story. The true story. And I never got to give this author the review she truly deserves for her work, but now I can. And it is a MASTERPIECE. I can’t wait to see how she’s transformed this beautifully tragic story into a fully original piece ♥️
I will be in hibernation until this book is in my hands thank you and good night.
not even one star. this is plagiarism. joanne has lawyers and she’s not afraid to use them, margaret probably does as well. i do truly hope you all enjoy this rape slop that only harms under privileged women around the world.
