Untouchable by Sam Mariano

5.0

Untouchable is a book that I have been seeing all over booktube and I have been so curious about it but I knew that I needed to be in the right mood for it. Its a story that is part of the dark romance sub genre and is also a bully romance and has a scene of non consent so this book is NOT going to work for everyone. So be warning and check out the trigger warnings before reading this one here.

Untouchable is a story of a young woman who reported when one of the players on the football team, by touching her without her consent, and he was taken off the team and he and his two friends including of which is Carter who is the star of the school. His family is powerful and he can do no wrong. His focus seems to be determined on making her life miserable but yet something more than just tormenting her. There is a connection that begins to build between the two, where secrets and truths are revealed and they bare themself all to each other.

I found Untouchable to be a interesting story and one I was more than willing to take myself on and you know I was in the right mood for this type of romance. Sometimes you just gotta read a bully romance and this is one of the best that I have ever read before. If you have a fondness for Penelope Douglas than this author is definitely one you need to pay attention to. Despite how this book begins, I was so drawn into this world and I can tell you I don't really care for YA at all although I would say this blends into NA as well. But I was so drawn into this book and I couldn't put it down. There was such deep and provoking moments that blend so flawlessly within this story that I fell so hard for. Its not a story for the faint of heart but it is a story you can get behind in very unique ways. I was so drawn into seeing what was happening here. Both characters have depths to them that you don't expect to see and I adored every single moment in seeing their bond deepen. This is a true romance in that we see both character see the best and worst parts of each other and find acceptance in it.

Overall I found Untouchable to be a thrilling, on the edge novel that kept me in suspense and I only thirsted for more, such intriguing elements written in such a compelling manner you won't be able to resist falling in love right along side this pair.
