Was I Ever Real
by Naomi Loud
Connor and Lenix are pure, combustible fire. The push and pull between them, the surface-level hate and lust burying deeper feelings that neither of them immediately wants to put a name to... it is a delicious dance with the devil.
As with the previous book, Was I Ever Here, this one for me is all about how two souls end up finding each other, and how the individuals that carry those souls are trying to build a world around them that allows them to hide how they truly feel inside. The arrogant, possessive Connor definitely finds his match in Lenix. She manages to find a hidden marshmallow center underneath his steely facade (and it is so satisfying to see him finally let go and fall). And Lenix holds so many secrets, so much guilt, and is hiding from everyone (including herself). She is flawed and she is perfect and she learns so much about who she can truly be at the end of everything. Honestly, Lenix is that heady mix of strength and vulnerability personified.
Cults, secrets, touch-her-and-die vibes... this story has a little bit of everything. And it provides a journey of two people that find themselves better when together, rather than apart.
