✨Book Review ✨
The Truths We Burn by Monty Jay (473 pages)
Book 2 of The Hollow Boys series
⭐⭐⭐⭐.50:
I loved this book, but let's get into the review!
This not being a 5 for me is only due to the long narrations. They're not 3rd pov but for some reason I just could not get through it. I read them during the first few chapters then I was like "I can't. I will DNF this book if I continue like this" So I skimmed through the narration, pausing and scrolling through. It's a wonderful read. Well-written characters, no filler scenes or characters, great plot, perfect pace, overall great book!
Now onto the characters, let me tell you now: IF YOU HAVE NOT READ ANYTHING BY MONTY JAY YET, PLEASE DO SO, ASAP!!! Because the characters?!? Oh the smut?!? The angst?!? The chemistry and tension?!? Give MJ all the awards!!!! You get such developed characters. They're so real and raw, I love that!
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️:
Spicy with some steam!!! There's a little bit of banter, LOTS of dirty talk, oh and Rook!! I'd let him [REDACTED] anyways...
❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹:
This gets a level 4 from me regarding the angst. It got angsty okay!!! That scene with Silas... I don't know what I'll do when I get to his book❤️🩹
‼️TWs and CWs include:
graphic violence and torture, murder, psychological torment, gore, childhood emotional abuse, explicit sexual content, sexual assault, issues of religion. Please know your triggers💜
