Credence by Penelope Douglas

1.0

This book was bad. I feel like Penelope Douglas had Tiernan end up with who she did just for the shock factor and not for any really good reasons.

Like sure let's pick Kaleb who wrote slut on her forehead in permanent market, tore up a project she was working on, humiliates her, calls her a whore, etc.

Then giving Tiernan her parental issues. Kind of wish I hadn't read this >.<

Tiernan's famous Hollywood parents double suicide so at 17 she has to go live with her dad's stepbrother, Uncle Jake, in a remote Colorado cabin with his 2 young adult songs, Noah who is 20? and Kaleb who's maybe her age? Noah is working to leave and strike out on his own. Kaleb has mental issues and doesn't speak. We learn that his mom locked him in a car for 4 days when he was 4 years old without food or water, he survived on drips from the leaky roof lol, and since then he hasn't spoken. The first time she meets Kaleb he just got back from spending days in the woods and he immediately tries to have sex with her because oops her underboob was showing. Even though she says no multiple times. Noah rescues her but later on they're all watching a porno together (wtf) and they all start masturbating together, but Jake breaks them up. Later Jake fucks her, taking her virginity and making her promise not to get with his sons. But when Jake goes away for a day she has double penetrative sex with both of them. Jfc. Jake comes back, it's not a secret everyone has had sex with her. Kaleb takes her aside for his own multiple times for sex. Eventually she chooses him to be with and there's like 1 line in the book about how she's an animal too or something.

In the epilogue somehow he's able to speak again and they have a baby together. Oh and Jake conveniently got with Tiernan's nanny/lawyer? Mirai. so the only one still single is Noah.
