TOP READ OF 2024 FRAGILE SANCTUARY Ⴆყ CATHERINE COWLES ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 stars

Where do I start? 👏🏼 

Okay, number one: pair your reading with the audiobook if you can. The performance by Zachary Webber & Andi Ardnt just made the entire experience of reading this book so much better! The storylines and character backgrounds of Rho and Anson were just wow. So unique and EMOTIONAL. From the very beginning of this story, I promise you’ll have a deep connection with each of these characters as individuals. He’s the broody alpha male and she’s the sunshine sweetheart. The found family aspect centered around Rho literally made me so happy. All of the siblings, Nora and Lolli - they are just the sweetest. (But the apple of my eye from early on is Shepard *heart eyes* I want himmmmmmmm!) I loved how suspenseful this book was. As a true crime girly, this was chefs kiss. I swear I thought the serial unaliver was at least three different people and was not expecting it to be who it ended up being AT ALL. Catherine Cowles, you may just have to take on Thrillers. The belt scene had me in a puddle; you know what they say about the quiet ones, right? Biscuit was so happy he got his HEA too. I was really worried about him because I literally fell in love with that good little boy!

You’ll love this if you enjoy: ⭐️ Broody Grumpy X Sunshine ⭐️ Brother’s Best Friend ⭐️ Small Town ⭐️ Found Family ⭐️ Touch Her & Die ⭐️ Adorable Dog ⭐️ Serial Unaliver + Suspense ⭐️ Belt Scene

This book will take you on a journey, and Catherine does an amazing job in creating this universe where you feel so connected to the characters - even the pets. I cannot wait for Shep's story!! I also want each of the siblings to have their own book, and Lolli to also find her Golden Bachelor.

I could talk forever about this book! So freakin good, stop what you’re doing and go read it right now!
