Looking at my NetGalley shelf recently, hoping to tackle the embarrassingly large backlog there, I realized that I have ARCs for several titles in this series; with the tenth book releasing this week, I decided to start with the earliest installment I have.
Once more with feeling: despite having at least four other titles by this author in the TRB cordillera of doom, this ARC is my introduction to her writing.
Beware: explicit sex; backstories for both protagonists include emotional abandonment; social anxiety.
I requested an ARC for this book entirely because of the cover, and I’m very thankful the publisher “granted my wish”. However, the tags on NetGalley are very confusing: Science Fiction/Fantasy and Women’s fiction? The blurb, on the other hand, hints at mystery and romance. Who knows what this book is? (see footnote 1)
Beware: grief; death of parents; alcoholism; chronic illness; terminal illness; miscarriage; drug abuse; child sexual abuse; child drowning; narcissistic parent; emotional abuse; Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
“A review is at its heart the expression of the reviewer’s opinion–in this case, my opinion. Regardless of how the book in question ended up in my hands, I will not insult your intelligence by assuming that you will blindly buy any book I like, or that you’ll avoid reading any book I don’t like. Instead, I’ll give you credit for making up your own mind, and buying and/or reading whatever you think you’ll enjoy.”
Please be aware that some of the books I review, talk about, or plain mention in passing, in this blog, have been given to me by the author, or someone else on behalf of the author, with the express purpose that I review them. (Those reviews are tagged ARC or review copy.)
