⭐️: 4
🌶️: 4.5
📖: ebook (ARC)
tropes:
- childhood best friends
- dual timeline/pov
- masked MMC
- second chance
- touch her & 💀
plot:
at a young age, both Rowan and Bella were outcasts at school. though Bella was skittish and Rowan seemily unapproachable, they became inseparable. Rowan would become Bella’s protector, but her knight wouldn’t be around forever.
both the past and present timeline were incredible. the dual timeline added to the suspense and left me desperate to discover more in each timeline.
even the author’s note left me with my mouth gaping, and my jaw probably remained on the floor throughout the first few chapters. honestly, i was unsure how the story would progress but it did not disappoint.
characters:
AHHHHHH ROWAN. wow. wow. this man.
how can someone be so morally wrong while being so sexy??? 😭😭😭😭 i’ve ALWAYS been obsessed with ‘boy that’s mean to everyone but had a soft spot for her,’ and Rowan takes it to a whole new level. i found it so intriguing how a character who is so twisted can also be a sweetheart.
my sweet bella ⋆𐙚₊˚⊹♡
her story really touched my heart, while also BREAKING it. i loved how she had to learn to adjust to her situation, and make the most of it. despite her insecurities & overthinking, she is such a strong character!!
writing:
i absolutely loved the writing style! the pacing was well thought out between the past and present timelines. this made is so much easier to binge the book, while still creating suspense and an interesting plot timeline.
overall: a perfect combination of sweet and darkness. it was impossible to not fall into the hearts of both characters. it was great to see their friendship develop and the consequences of their upbringing into their adult lives.
thank you @avina.stgraves for the early copy and writing my new favourite dark romance 🥀
