Thank you to Emmerson Hoyt for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!
I thought I loved Emmerson's Jackals and Vipers Duet, but The Endless Fall has me in a chokehold. This is the first book in Emmerson's new Deadwood Duet, and oh my gosh I'm left with so many questions!! I literally have no idea who to trust. Even Ryker, as much as I love him, I know he's doing things he shouldn't. But I'm going to hold out that he will end up being the man he is when he's with Willa in book two. Because he and Willa are good for each other, and I don't know if I can handle them not ending up together.
While this is definitely a romance and I am captivated by Willa and Ryker and wondering how their story will play out, I think I was just as obsessed by this plot. There are cult vibes and LOTS of secrets. And I just know something is going to come out about the fire from Willa's childhood. I have a few theories, but honestly, I could see this story taking any of their routes. So I have no idea what's going to happen or how it's going to happen based on the ending of The Endless Fall!
This is book one and you will need to read it before book two comes out. Though we don't have a date for that yet. And while this does end on a cliffhanger, it's still one that's wrapped up pretty nicely. Even if I did DM Emmerson at 4 in morning when I finished the book because I loved it that much.
