Freya O'Brien is an English poet and illustrator who channels her heart through her pen. She creates poems and illustrations based on her personal life, thoughts and emotions. She specifically focuses on her experiences with mental health, grief, trauma, family, relationships and healing.
Freya uses a pen and paper as an outlet on the darkest of days, and shares her work so if anyone relates to her experiences, they can feel less alone in theirs.

I view writers block as my brain signalling that I need a break. So, I allow myself one. I put my pen down and take time off. I go for walks in nature, I see loved ones and / or try something new. When I feel inspired and like the words are itching to be on the paper, only then do I start writing again. I then usually have a surge of ideas!(less)

When I stop, I feel lighter and more understood.
Every time my pen scrawls across the page, I felt like I come to life inside - writing gives me energy. (less)

cosy read

This was my first horse shifter book - I thought I would try something new.

I loved how cosy and sweet it was. It was definitely a feel-good read.

I just feel like it would have benefited from another round of editing. Some of the dialogue was

DNF

I loved the premise, and Keith, and the suspense of him finding out. But the reveal fell flat for me.

The book was also just far too LONG. I skimmed read quite a lot of it because I got bored, and ended up giving up on it after chapter 26. It didn

I don’t know how to rate this book

I devoured this book in one sitting. It was definitely a page turner.

It was definitely high stakes, and I loved Zev.

However, Mayah, the plot and pacing were all over the place! I didn’t feel like we got enough time t

Awful

I was hoping for a lot more. Alec acted dreadfully to Flora, and showed a complete lack of empathy towards her. He is the first MMC I have despised after his “redemption” arc.

I was hoping the new pack was going to help build Flora’s confidence o

I couldn’t put this book down. I read until the early hours of the morning to find out what happened next.

I loved this book. It was tense and an emotional rollercoaster but it felt worth it. I loved the love story, and the ending. I als

Struggled to get into this one

I’m not sure why but I found myself skimming a lot of this book. I just couldn’t get into the writing style. It felt different to the first book.

Although I did like the overall story and the ending.

Surprising

I really enjoyed Uma’s fiery side and how she really comes into her own in this book, and how Killian grows as a leader. I loved their love story, it was a slow burn but it felt right for them.

Feels like something was missing

I found myself not as interested in this one as I was in the first book. The characters fell flat for me, and it lost all the dynamics that made me enjoy the first book.

I also really wanted to love her new pack, but I

Hard to Read, Hard to Put Down

Read the trigger warnings. This book really puts the “tormented” in the title.

It was a very hard read, but for some reason, I couldn’t put it down.
