one of my favorite books of the year! this book is extremely dark and emotional, i recommend checking out the TWs before diving in.
still beating made me feel so many emotions. dean & cora are kidnapped by a serial killer who makes the victims fall in love with each other before unaliving them. dean is the fiance of cora's sister and they both have spent the last 15 years hating each other. once kidnapped, they're forced to do unspeakable things which makes their bond grow -- they need each other to get through life after what happened to them.
this book is emotional and angsty! i loved dean so much, he was so strong for the both of them.
