The Deana-Dhe transition beautifully into leading anti-heroes. Bea somehow maintains their air of mystery and menacing aura while also humanizing them. She gives them substance, differentiates each, and layers dimension on dimension. They are certainly worthy of a full story- easily stepping out of the shadows. But Cyn is the star- I loved how Bea gives her a quiet and vulnerable strength. She’s clever, gently coercive, and enchanting. And her muteness adds an interesting layer to her connection to the men, empowering her allure and protecting her secrets.

I think I'll be processing on this book for a while but it gave me chills. The kind you get when you cannot escape wind and rain. This story, although set in modern times, had a historic vibe to it. Gothic even. Windswept moors, dreary days, gray skies, roaring ocean waves seeking to drown you. The guys in this story are seriously messed up. Broody, petty, bullies. Emotional and extremely passionate. Heathcliff's , all three of them. The fmc is downright fascinating. Stoic, disciplined, grounded, traumatized, alone. This is not a "lite" read but it is very well written. If Wuthering Heights was an RH...

Phenomenal! This book truly captured my attention and my heart. This is definitely one of my top books of 2022! I very highly recommend it!

This book is beautifully written. It's disturbing and ugly. It bares the souls of all four characters as children and adults. It examines their complicated relationships; we see the lies they tell as well as the rare moments of honesty they share.
