I liked how the story opened up but I just couldn't get past Ryder and his alpha male douchbaggery. It felt too much for me especially with him knowing Syn is a survivor but despite that fact continuing too tell her he will basically rape her. I just couldn't get past the rapey vibe and I've read plenty of dub con.
I also didn't vibe with the writing style, just didn't work for me.
I had lots of hope for this book but I'm just glad to have it off my TBR. ...more

I liked the characters and really liked the incorporation of Native American rights. DNF because I like my romances with lots angst and when the characters don’t immediately get together. I felt passion between the characters but my heart didn’t yearn for the characters to be together. Since there second chance meeting occurs very early in the book, I didn’t feel that satisfaction when the characters got together. I just don’t think this is the right book for me...more

We follow WIlliam and Carrie, a sister brother duo, who arrive in a small town filled with murderers, but that's exactly what they wanted because they are slashers themselves. Children of the famous first slasher, their father;s legacy follows them everywhere. In this new town, William meet Nancy and is instantly taken by her. How'd they meet you say? Nancy comes in right as William has been shot through the heart.
William survives. How? Because if his dad. Slashers are treated like mythical creatures in this novel, who posses powers. I really like the concept and originality of this. The first few chapter had me instantly drawn in. As the story progressed, I caught my self getting very bored. The story is very fast paced and filled with action but I think it was the writing style which didn't click with me. I don't mind YA but don't often gravitate towards it. I think this book reads very YA which is why it disinterested me. Despite the characters being adults they read as teenagers to me.
I do have to give it props for coming with such a unique concept. I loved the mythology and the history of the characters which kept me reading.
Although this wasn't for me, I could see someone who enjoys YA really enjoying this. It had the right elements to make it an enjoyable read; such as romance, horror movie vibes, lots of pop cultural references and funny characters. ...more

I knew this was 100% smut going into it. What I didn't expect with the D word, (view spoiler)[Daddy (hide spoiler)] to be out on the first sex scene. I knew this was 100% smut going into it. What I didn't expect with the D word, (view spoiler)[Daddy (hide spoiler)] to be out on the first sex scene. I can't rate it because I just think this wasn't written for someone like me. I don't really enjoy that trope in smut, so it's a (view spoiler)[No Daddy! (hide spoiler)] for me. ...more
