🖉Blurb: “My darling, it is you who is dreadful.”

Reverie Adams has only one goal in life: to keep her head above water with her father’s sinister legacy weighing on her shoulders. But she’s no stranger to drowning—it’s her very first memory, after all, and if her demons have it their way, it will also be her last.

Even with the blood of a serial killer running through her veins, Reverie attempts a normal life at Hollow Canyon University. But there’s a ghost from her past who refuses to set her free, haunting her every waking hour, and he will not rest until he has made her suffer.

Dreadful Sharpe has only one goal in life, but it’s not winning gold medals as an Olympic swimmer. The only thing Dread strives for is vengeance against the family who murdered his mother.

Determined to make Reverie pay, Dread does everything in his power to ensure she never finds a moment’s peace. If he has it his way, she will drown in his wrath until her very last breath.

However, not everything in Reverie’s past is as it seems. Together, they may be forced to face the most harrowing of truths: Dread isn’t the only ghost who intends to make Reverie suffer.

🖉My Thoughts:

When she says "cliffhanger", she means it. Expect to be literally left hanging. H.D. Carlton dropped another banger on us and it's not in the Cat & Mouse duet world. I am totally OK with that. It's refreshing to visit some new places, new characters, new plot points. And I think our writer is flourishing in her new environment because I could almost read that she enjoyed writing this more than the last couple of books. You'll be back in a sick and twisted world that only this author can create, it's just a new one! That being said, I absolutely love the plot idea of this book. It's unlike anything that I've ever read before but it definitely reads like an H.D. Carlton original. If you're a fan of the author, you'll definitely enjoy this book. It's sick, it's twisted, it's erotic, it's a little bit bizarre and it's just what we've expect and love to see from this author. She does a great job of making you feel a bit sympathetic for both of these flawed characters and they both end up being likable. There are all sorts of unexpected little twists you'll come across as the story progresses that charm you into liking it even more. I can't wait for the next book to release, just read it!
