Gild by Raven Kennedy
5.0
This was everything I wanted from a dark fantasy romance!! My expectations were low going in but it turned out fantastic! I wasn't expecting the plot twist or the direction the story took in the second half. It reminded me very much of Sea of Ruin, which is one of my favourites. 🙂↕️
For a 400 page book, this flew by. I couldn't stop thinking about it when I wasn't reading it. Definitely heavy trigger warning though, this is much darker than I anticipated and with on page r**e. For how popular this series is in the common booktube/ booktok community, I wasn't expecting the graphic nature of it. I expect that from my regular dark romance books 😅
5 gilded stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was painful to read. Creative concept, but nothing else enjoyable about it.

Completely lost me when he kidnapped her and made all these excuses saying he's not crazy and he knows they belong together and she takes one look at him and is turned on? HUH?? 😀 Until this moment, he'd been written as a guy who exercises violence and threatens strangers to quell his urges, yet he's reduced to a wet blanket trying to justify his actions after he takes her???
As for her there is NO WAY a woman in any situation, no matter what they said, would trust or feel comfortable in the presence of someone who's just told you they've been stalking you for a year. Let alone HUG OR TOUCH THEM. You wouldn't believe a word that fucker said and just smile and nod along until you can get the fuck out. Survival mode would kick in. Ridiculous
