A review by naaytaashreads
Wretched by Emily McIntire
5.0
“Bricks are meant for paths, Yet somehow we’re always still. If there’s nothing for us in the now, Then I know there never will. You belong up here in the light, and me, in poppies down below. Maybe one day we’ll meet again, On the other side of a rainbow.”
THIS WAS THE DARK ROMANCE I WAS CRAVING FOR.
To me, this was surprisingly so good, I didn't expect it.
This plotline definitely has more action, thriller, dark themes and really more focus on the villain aspect of the characters.
I flew through the read because it was so good, and I just needed answers to everything.
However, while i did enjoy the read, something was definitely missing.
Emily really took time with the depth of the plotline - we get the meat of the storyline, but the end wrapped up too quickly.
When the "betrayal" happened, I wished we had got to see more of the shock, redemption, grovelling and the individual's plan to get out of the situation.
The ending felt too rushed.
It's a mix feeling of getting to see the end - the good thing is we know their story have yet to end but at the same time I didn't get the satisfaction of what they both deserved for their romance which could have a few more chapters.
“You don’t have to trust me, Evelina. But words are your safe space, the same way that they’re mine.” My fingers thread through his hair. “Let me be your calm in the chaos, pretty girl.”
