A review by courtsbooknook
Forbidden Lust by Brooke Summers

dark tense fast-paced

3.75

I have mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand I liked the taboo tropes and thought the mysteriousness of it all was fun. On the other hand, I thought some of the characters were too young and immature. It felt like a lot of the book was arguing rather than developing relationships. Some of the writing choices also seemed super old fashioned to me. I liked how fast paced it was and I was invested in what was happening for sure. It had a nice balance of the drug lord plot while also having strong friendships and some lighter notes. I am curious about the next book since this one ended on a cliffhanger and excited to see how Mia and Hudson progress!
