All thoughts and opinions are my own. HEA: no, not a romance and not a traditional HEA POV: multi 3rd person POV (Wyatt, Peter/Pedyr, James) spice: not spicy, a few kisses and some pining TWs: housefire (non-fatal), torture, murder, possession, gore, animal death (not detailed, but on page), poisoning, cults, zombie-vibes standalone: yes final thoughts: this book was a wild ride- it was so good, and it’ll definitely stay in my mind for a while. While there is a lot of pining, I wouldn’t consider this book to be a romance BUT it was an incredible read. Lots of dark, gothic, horror elements with amazing imagery. You know that part in a book where your brain says, “OMG I UNDERSTAND THE COVER AND TITLE NOW!”? I gasped out loud when it clicked for me. I would shelf this as “middle grade”/young adult but this is a story that can easily be enjoyed by adults due to the horror themes throughout the book. The characters were great, the imagery was gripping, and the story will stay in my mind for a while to come. Highly recommend for anyone who likes paranormal gothic stories about young adults

Her mother had an affair with her best friend’s dad and left town- leaving Glory as the one to take the wrath of the town and make her and her father social pariahs. Will they ever get back to being friends? MMC: Killian- the golden boy of his school and part of the most beloved and powerful family in Galway. As tensions grow after his father and best friend’s mother leave town, he abandons his friendship with Glory making her free game for torment through her high school years. He’s doing his best to ignore what could have been with them, until he overhears comments from guys on the football team… will things change for their senior year? POV: 1st person, single POV HEA: yes spice: yes, several open door spicy scenes TWs: parental abandonment, cheating (not MCs), pregnancy troubles (not MCs), divorce, bullying standalone: yes final thoughts: this book had so many ups and downs, likes and dislikes, but overall was a very entertaining read. I really don’t love on-again-off-again relationships that stem from miscommunication but with a high school setting it felt very fitting. There was a ton of high school drama, but I loved the friendships that were portrayed throughout the book and the focus on mental health. And those spicy scenes? WHEW they sure had some chemistry that was so sweet!
