A review by kaydawn
Gleam by Raven Kennedy

challenging dark tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

5.0

 

The books just get better. I love seeing Auren grow and come to realize she’s been abused and the power she has and the love she deserves. Her journey has been written so well. I am absolutely in love with Rip. I thought the angst in this one was actually going to kill me but it was so good. And the ending was phenomenal. Very excited to see what all happens in the next book. 

CW: SA/rape (not in detail just the fact it happened), physical and emotional abuse, forced drugging
