Heartless Monster
by Rachel Leigh
Wow. I was excited for this read, but I did not realize just how much I’d come to absolutely love it. I could barely set this book down for breaks. I wanted to keep reading and reading until the very end. 4.5✨
I just have to outright admit I did not expect how much I’d come to love this one. High school storylines aren’t my cup of tea, I prefer my leads much older. Throw in some of the dark-ish romance aspects and this could have been a recipe for a turn off, instead I took Rome’s lead and was obsessed.
I was all in for Elodie and Rome’s chaotic love story. Things start off in a very precarious position between the newly minted step-siblings— there’s much hate from Rome especially. But their forced proximity allows them to see different sides of one another, and the hate dwindles until something far more special erupts. Surrounding their love story was a plot riddled with suspense, which had me at the edge of my seat during its climax.
I only had one singular qualm: feeling the epilogue only established a happily for now, rather than happily ever after. I’m not convinced of the logistics to turn this romance endgame. And I so badly want it endgame! If ever arrives the opportunity for a bonus chapter that takes the reader much further into the leads’ futures, you can count me first in line to read!
I came to care so deeply for Elodie and Rome, and I’m glad I got to know their story.
I definitely encourage readers to pay close attention to the trigger warnings the author provides. She takes great care of readers in her author’s note listing these triggers. This book will not be everyone. To be honest, there’s one item listed that I wasn’t sure in how I’d feel about, and while it’s something I’d still avoid in the future, I’m so glad I kept reading it. This book consumed me in a very, very unexpected way. I’m beyond thrilled I had the opportunity to read it in advance.
Thank you so much Valentine PR!
