The Taste of an Enemy
by Holly Renee
ARC provided in exchange for an honest review
I've been waiting for this book since I read Allie & Carson's first interactions in The Touch of a Villain, and although I didn't know what to expect from these two, Holly Renee gave me everything I needed: unconditional friendship, secret love, family and teenager drama, manipulation, secrets, lies and an unexpected side in each of the main characters.
Allie stole my heart from the first time she spokes to Josie so I was just hoping to find out more about her. I really liked knowing her most vulnerable and insecure side, reading her being an excellent friend once again, a girl who cares about her future and is responsible, dedicated and hard-working, but who also goes out to party, has fun and wants to feel loved. I think one of the things I enjoyed the most about his story was reading her it making bad decisions and mistakes, since that makes the story much more interesting.
Carson is your typical popular boy, womanizer and who takes advantage of his good looks, with a horrible family life and a vulnerable side that he hides so as not to be hurt, he behaves like an idiot on different times, especially with Allie, but I think Holly Renee did an excellent job explaining his personal history and behavior, to the point that I couldn't hate him and my heart broke with his life and the decisions he makes. Definitely one of the things I loved the most was reading his friendship and behavior with Frankie, as it shows a completely different and adorable side.
The outcome of Allie & Carson’s love story so far can be predictable given the initial events, however, that is not a negative thing, because for me, the most important part of this book is to know what happened their lives so that they went from being best friends to hating each other completely and the situations that happen until the end of this first part. I loved reading a little the feelings and desires of both being young, as both were the refuge of the other and how lost Carson is when everything was ruined, Allie’s guilt and the incapacity of both to communicate to the other what they really feel, and as when they finally achieve everything, it begins to settle a little for both, until their past actions return to complicate everything even more.
Obviously being a duet there are still things to discover and fix, but from now on I can say that Allie & Carson are absolutely adorable, they have an undeniable chemistry and I think they are for each other. In addition to the fact that his story lets us explore a little more in the life of Beck & Josie, and in the feelings of and complications of the possible history between Frankie & Olly, he that makes this series continue to be as much or more interesting than in his first books and totally recommendable.
