Hold Me Under by Riley Nash

5.0

Me and my heart weren’t quite prepared for how devastatingly emotional and angsty this book was, but oh my what an amazing read.

All through the story there was this sense of dread, like I knew something must have happened to Victor that would explain all his habits that were just breaking my heart. It’s definitely a story where I had to pause and take a deep breath before continuing at times, but it was totally captivating and I couldn’t put it down until I had some closure.

Victor was the definition of broken and toxic, but Ethan was just so patient and gentle with him. The connection between them was really intense and the push and pull had my emotions running high. It was such an emotional rollercoaster to see their relationship develop and turn real. My heart broke for both Ethan and Victor and what they had been through, and I desperately hung on to the small glimpses of hope that was offered.

Hold Me Under is a story I will carry with me for a while, and I look forward to seeing what else this author comes up with! I really recommend this story and I hope you’ll get as immersed in it as I was.
