edit data

Rayna York grew up with hippie parents that moved a lot. Where change was the norm, books were her constant—a way to escape. As an adult, many careers came and went, but writing has always been her passion. Her books tend to be based on dreams, and since that’s the way inspiration strikes, she wakes up every morning and writes them in her notebook with barely an eye open. When she’s not tucked away in her writing shack, she’s pursuing other passions, like chocolate, reading, or movies/TV series.

A fantastic story overall, though the large cast and a few confusing scenes made it hard to follow at times. The plot also feels similar to other blockbuster novels in the genre. Even so, I’m still really looking forward to the next book in the serie ...more

Another fantastic dark romance from Keri Lake. That said, I did struggle with a couple of things. One was a character I had grown to love being revealed as a bad person. The shift didn’t make sense to me—it felt forced and place for shock value. I wa ...more
