Hush by Jude Sierra
1.0
This was just a weird story, and not in a good way. The world building with the 'gifted' was very poorly done. It was barely explained what being 'gifted' means, even after the wikipedia info dump in the middle of the book. It's almost like the author is unsure of what it means as well.
This wasn't a love story as much as it was a lust story. I don't buy for a minute that Cam would have fallen for Wren if it wasn't for the Compelling. And don't get me started on that. For a book that was published by an offshoot of Interlude Press, "Consent", this whole book was just a bunch of dubcon that wasn't even fun, it was just uncomfortable.
The characters were all really flat. I don't understand the point of Cam having a twin sister. She was only ever on the phone and might as well not have even been there. And their home life didn't seem so bad??? I mean, I get that they were both stifled or whatever, but the way they wanted to get away from home made it seem a lot worse.
Wren's reasons for either compelling or not compelling were all really stupid. He didn't want Cam to be with him just because of compelling and yet...all he did was compel him?? Ooooooookay.
Waste of a read.
