A review by purple_reads
Red Thorns by Rina Kent
1.0
The only good thing about this book were the sex scenes.
I skimmed most of it.
Naomi is really fucking annoying and such a hypocrite. She claims to be an antisocial loner and then stays with her “best friend” after they leave her for a group of people she hates? Then she makes fun of and complains about how shy her best friend is for having a crush on a guy when she has had a crush on someone for years? Furthermore, she continuously mocks her best friend and it’s just “what are you on about girl? you’re the one making a fool of yourself in your own narrative”.
She is one of the “I’m not like other girls” and I wanted to punch her.
Don’t get me started on the clusterfuck of:
“His olive skin and light blue eyes coupled with his black hair and thick brows give him a Middle-Eastern look that made Luce fall head over heels.”
Like???? He’s either Middle Eastern or not! You don’t just “give a look”.
Most of the conversations between Naomi and Sebastian are cringy as fuck.
As the book went on Sebastian’s narration got worse and I couldn’t stand him. I don’t care about how great you are at hiding emotions and reading people, not after you’ve told me for the hundredth time.
The only somewhat good chapters besides the smut were the first three.
Definitely a let down and the lowest I’ve ever rated one of Rina’s books. The only reason I’m not giving it 0.25 stars is because of the smut.
Stars ~ 1.5
