Then, Earth Swallowed Ocean by Shiloh Sloane

5.0

Why aren’t more people talking about this book?! This is the kind of poetic writing I 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦. It's super dark, but beautiful in its own way. It pushes your morals and brings up these deep, tangled emotions. I thought it was an incredible read!

“𝙆𝙞𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙘𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙣, 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙬𝙣,” 𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙧. “𝙇𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙣𝙤𝙤𝙨𝙚.”

But, if you're looking for a villain to everyone but her MMC, you won't find that here. Ridge is feral, unhinged - more animal than man most times. He does what he wants, when he wants. And when it comes to Sadie, there's no saving her from his dark beast.

Even with his darkness, they still have these unexpectedly soft moments too. My favourite was when they first make it to the ocean. I couldn't hold back my tears. It was such a tender scene between the wolf and his little fawn 🥹

𝘿𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩. 𝙎𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙡. 𝘼 𝙛𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙠𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙪𝙩𝙨 𝙞𝙩. 

A wild and unique take on shifter romance. If you're a dark romance reader, I think you'll devour this one. Then, Earth Swallowed Ocean gets all my love 🖤
