A modern telling of a classic tale... This isn’t a typical love story. This is a story of what happens when love is so powerful and all-consuming that it has the ability to destroy everyone involved. It’s definitely not pretty and it’s certainly not a fairytale, but it’s their story and it couldn’t be told any other way.
***5 Stars***
Confession:
I had no clue which “classic tale” the authors were giving a modern twist too.
None.
All I cared about was that K Webster was putting more words out into the world for me to read and through it I’d be introduced to a new to me author.
So, I didn’t really dig too deep in attempting to figure anything out until it smacked me right in the face. And when it did...I had to pause and prepare because I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that this was going to be one hell of a rocky ride, and what a ride it was.
I waffled over stating which classic this is a retelling of, but have decided against it. So, if you know, you are way further ahead of the game than I was and I give you props. If you don’t and want a clue the authors released an excerpt...it may or may not have clues in it, but check out their FB like pages.
Now for the very vague and verbal vomity review of this book. This book totally sucked me in. I mean I tiptoed my way to the rabbit hole and fell in without realizing it and found that I didn’t want to leave. I needed to see the train wreck through to the very end and even though it was rough, and that is a huge understatement, it was absolutely worth it because even though I had issues with almost every character, I found them all absolutely fascinating. Love them, hate them, pity them...or not, this story is chock full of humanity at its very worst, very best and everything in between.
While there are quite a few characters that play essential parts in this dark and heartbreaking love story, Heath is very much the main focus and while I didn’t always like him,I couldn’t help but be drawn to him and have some sympathy for all that happened to him, even when he was his own worst enemy.
Anyways, I’m going to cut myself off because if I don’t this review will never end. So, the writing was engaging and seamlessly done and though this is a retelling, you could tell that the authors made it their own. This is, at its heart, a dark read, but there are moments of sweet and it helped to temper things a bit. Is there an HEA here? Maybe, maybe not. It all depends on how you choose to look at everything in the end, but it is a love story you won’t forget.
