paddlefoot55 's review for:

Unteachable by Elliot Wake
4.0

I was lucky enough to win a copy of Unteachable a few weeks ago, and was finally able to pick it up and read it over the past couple of night

Holy amazing read Batman!

While the premise of Unteachable is not a new one - teacher/student romance, there was just something about this one that really got to me.

While yes this is a taboo kind of subject, let me say up front, Maise is 18 and legally an adult, she has not fallen prey to Evan, there is attraction and seduction from both parties.

I loved how this was not all a fairy tale. Maise puts it so succinctly when she says it is "effed up". What they are doing, what they are feeling, their lives before they met each other, all effed up.

The relationship is complicated, the sexual chemistry between Maise and Evan is tangible, the emotions will get you right in the gut.

There was a darker undercurrent that was part of what drew them together, and although we all know that secrets are never good for a relationship, you could feel the weight lift off their shoulders as secrets are revealed.

I loved Ms Raeder's writing style. It was as if I was in the room with our lovlies, watching as their relationship unfolded before our eyes.

I will definitely be keeping this author on my must read list, and am looking forward to Black Iris when it is released
