Without the Moon: Act One
“Till the end.”
Paige Michaels & Lincoln Morrow.
Lifelong friends.
First loves.
And their ending came as most often do. Unexpectedly.
Seven years ago, a vile experience tore the two of them apart, leaving them shadows of their former selves.
Ghosts to each other. A haunting.
A haunting so deeply embedded that Linc now lives a reclusive life—hiding out in the Santa Monica mountains with his only friend, Ellis.
A quiet existence. Without her.
Paige has barely made it through the loneliest year of her life. Without him, and now, without her Gram. After moving to Hollywood last year, she spends her nights dancing at LA’s most exclusive burlesque club, with only the memory of his dark hazel eyes watching her.
When Paige and Linc’s lives unexpectedly collide at the club, they quickly realize their memories of what happened all those years ago are not the same.
But the gravity of seeing each other again is a crushing weight, and the years of separation have given their trauma nothing but time to fester.
Though one thing is clear, even through the blurry, fractured memories . . .
What happened to them sure as hell wasn’t the end.

I’m Speechless.
What an incredible ride. The Love between Linc and Paige is beyond anything you could imagine.
From childhood to through their Adult lives their connection is palpable. The two of them experience something incredibly traumatizing and I could not put this down until I knew the cause.
Paige and Linc spend 7 years apart because of this terrible thing and when they finally unlock the memories, it’s heartbreaking. Devastating.
That’s all I can tell you without giving too much away. So get this pre-ordered right now, because it’s available 10/8.
And to Larissa…. WTF am I supposed to do with my life until part two?! 😫😫😫

Literally all the stars. Real, raw, gritty, emotional. If you liked Still Beating, definitely read this. A different story and world, but the vibes are vibing.
Paige and Lincoln’s love is magic. Young, innocent, all consuming. Tragically, they experience a nightmare event which sends them on separate paths chalked full of trauma. Told in past and present chapters, the unraveling of what happened to them was delivered carefully, a slow burn building to a wildfire. Chilling.
I am salivating for the next book. I also want want to know more about their best friend, Ellis!
I’ve been in an on and off book slump for a while. Having so many misses… I needed this book. If you ever want to recommend me one, this is the blueprint.
I cannot wait to read every book Larissa has written. Phenomenal storytelling. Outstanding writing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you @sincerely_lovelarissa & @sunnybabepr for providing an ARC of this book!
This is a DARK ROMANCE! Please know this
Paige is making do with her current life; working as a dancer in an elite burlesque-style club, living in a small apartment and comfortably avoiding her past works well…most of the time. The last thing she expects is her past to hit her right in the face. Linc has never been the same since that day 7 years ago; the horrible experience changed the course of his life and ruined the future he could have had. Being reunited with Paige causes him to realise they remember their torturous experience very differently…
The writing by this author is INCREDIBLE. Timeline changes between the ‘now’ and ‘seven years previous’ gives such raw and intense insight to the main characters relationship; it allows the reader to experience the loss of each other as they did after the event.
Paige and Linc’s chemistry is undeniable. Their childhood friendship bond is enviable, beautiful and something they both cherish. Paige is a strong, independent woman with plenty of faults…but after all she has been through, no one can blame her. Linc is a seriously troubled man, he works on making himself better constantly and is always feeling like he isn’t deserving of any good that comes his way.
The author clearly highlights after Chapter 46, the book takes a sharp turn to the gritty, dark and depraved moments that tore these characters apart and ruined them from that moment on. I ended up skipping through a lot of pages as it is devastating to read. There is an alternative version available also.
Yes, this book is so devastating, heartbreaking and gut-wrenchingly raw…but it is also a story of two people who love each other and regardless of their shared experience, they still want to be what the other so desperately needs.
This is a hard book to review and it’s not my usual read, and as much as I enjoyed it, I have to urge to check TW/CW for this book. As mentioned, the author does a brilliant job at highlighting these at the beginning of the book.

Without The Moon by Larissa Moyer
Format: Audiobook
Narrator: Shiloh James and Sean Masters
Genre: Dark Romance
📖 - 5⭐
🎙️ - 5⭐
⚠️Check the Trigger Warnings⚠️
I didn’t know what to expect as this is the first book I've read by Larissa Moyer. I quickly became intrigued with the characters and curious about the storyline. The format and flow of the story was also a first for me. Lots of past and present and getting lost in ones' head. Stay with the story, trust the process and absorb all of the information.
Pip and Linc are childhood best friends that become each others first loves. The relationship and bond they built is beautiful. It's best to go in blind (although, read those TW's) but I will say a tragic event takes place tearing them apart for several years. Eventually they come back into each others lives and piece together what really happened all those years ago.
I do NOT have triggers. At least not any that I have found (yet). That being said, towards the end of the book we are getting to witness the videos and raw footage of said tragic event. I'm not going to lie, some of this was hard to listen to. I was heartbroken and angry... I felt sick to my stomach. I had several emotions going through me that I didn't like, and all at once. When I was done, I sat there for a few minutes thinking, "what the f*ck was that...?" Speechless. I was left speechless.
In the end I realized this was a really good book and the audiobook was amazing. Shiloh James and Sean Masters did a phenomenal job. Honestly, I think it's their best performance (so far). Breathtaking. The way Linc had a stutter in the present time just made me want to hug him every time he spoke. And with that ending, I just wanted to scream.
Do I recommend? Absolutely, YES!

*I read this book as an ARC through SunnyBabe PR*
I totally forgot what this book was about from the time I signed up to read it to now and holy smokes that was not what I was expecting! 7 years ago Paige and Linc went through something so traumatic that tore them apart. Paige blamed Linc for leaving her while he just blamed himself. Now when he finds her working at The Window, they both feel the pull back towards each other. They are trying to navigate their feelings and process what happened in the past but not push too hard to cause Linc to black out again.
I was not ready for the ending and now feel like I don’t know what to do with my life until Act Two comes out😭

There aren’t enough words to describe this book. It’s mind blowing, wildly uncomfortable, and will make you feel things you didn’t even know were possible.
I don’t typically read dark romance (Manacled is the one exception), but this? This book made me just as uncomfortable in the most gut-wrenching way (IYKYK).
Amid the chaos and intensity, Larissa weaves a breathtaking story of found family, loss, heartbreak, and survival. It’s haunting and beautiful all at once.
And the dual narration? Perfection. The voices brought so much depth and emotion to every moment. It felt like the story lived in my bones.
Check the trigger warnings. This story isn’t for everyone, but if you’re drawn to the dark, the raw, and the emotionally complex, this one might just wreck you in the best way.
“Till the end.”🍋

"She was meeting me on this hill of depravity. Even if we died here."
Well...I mean...
Is there a stronger word than intense?
Paige and Linc are the definition of soulmates.
Actually, if you wanted to talk soulmates, that would include Ellis as well.
My head is swirling after reading this story, and so many questions I still have.
I NEED ACT 2 ASAP! For now, I need to get my thoughts to calm down.
Remember how I like to forwarn you guys about TW?
Please heed those warnings.
As amazing as this book is - and how beautifully it was written - the storyline is not for the faint of heart. You will most definitely go through a rollercoaster of emotions...

📚: without the moon (arc) by Larissa C Moyer — releasing Dec 30th
my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
aesthetic: 💔🌌🎭🎵🖤🔥💃⛰️📖🕯️🎙️🎶🖋️👁️🗨️
tropes: childhood sweethearts, asl representation, slow burn, angst, emotional read, hurt/comfort, found family.
This book hit me right in the heart with its raw and emotional story. Paige and Linc’s journey from lifelong friends to first loves, and then to broken souls haunted by their past, was gripping and intense. The story beautifully captured the weight of unresolved trauma and the longing for closure, which made their reunion all the more poignant.
Paige’s strength shone through, especially as she navigated her grief and a new life in LA, while Linc’s reclusive existence highlighted the depth of his pain. Their collision at the club was electric, and the way their fractured memories unfolded was both heartbreaking and hopeful. The chemistry between them was undeniable, and their emotional struggles felt so real that it kept me invested until the very end.
The writing was evocative and full of tension, though some parts felt slightly repetitive. Still, the portrayal of their deep connection and the chance for redemption made this an unforgettable read. It’s a story about love, loss, and the possibility of finding your way back to someone who was always meant to be yours.

Thank you to SunnyBabePR and the author for giving me an ARC of this book.
This is probably one of the best ARCs I have read this year. The story was addictive and incredibly moving and I fell in love with all the characters. I was left heartbroken and angry for all they endured in the book and I am desperate to see how it plays out in the next one. Larissa's writing is brilliant and they way she tells the story, flipping from past to present to give us the shocking ending, is done so incredibly well.
This is a very dark story with graphic description of SA and 🍇 at the end so if this is something you are triggered by then don't read this book!

Trauma can either tear two people apart or bring them closer together. Paige and Linc are childhood friends who have always had a strong connection. The novel told through both past and present tenses is full of angst, heartbreaking moments that make the book unputdownable. Can't wait for book 2. 💙💙
August 27, 2024
Buffy bless this book. First of all, I need Act Two RIGHT NOW, thanks. But also these are just some of the most compelling characters with one of the best plots I have ever read. Linc has my heart, soul, mind—everything. And I felt so kindred with Paige, it was ridiculous. The setting and pacing of this book were phenomenal and I found myself nonstop reading once I started because I was desperate to find out more. I needed to know what happened next at every turn.
The romance in this book is also so heartwarming despite its darkness, and I can already tell the spice is gonna be spicing H A R D in the next one.
All in all, Larissa C. Moyer did phenomenal YET AGAIN and I can't wait for these characters, this story, and her name to be out in the world at large.
Till the end, baby.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Plot 💬:
This book isn’t just dark, it’s devastating. It drags you through grief, trauma, shame, and the unbearable weight of what-ifs. Something happened years ago that shattered Paige and Linc. This book makes you sit in that pain with them. This isn’t a giddy romance, it’s a slow, brutal unravelling of two people who’ve been stuck in survival mode, living half-lives in the aftermath of something too big to name, with different memories of the same event.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Audiobook 🎧:
There are audiobooks that sound good, and then there are audiobooks that become real. This is the latter.
Sean Masters was incredible as Linc. Not once throughout the whole thing did I think, “Wow, he’s narrating this really well”. I genuinely believed I was listening to Linc process his trauma out loud. Every pause, every strained feel, every breath, every fractured sentence…he BECAME that man. It was raw and so painfully human. He. Made. Me. Sob.
And Shiloh James as Paige? Wow, she was equally unforgettable. Her voice carried every single ounce of quiet strength and grief that Paige holds in her chest. She didn’t perform the character, she breathed life into her. The trauma, the guilt, the ache, the memories that choke her before she even speaks… it all came to life through Shilo’s voice.
Together, Sean and Shilo made this story hurt in the most haunting, believable way.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bookish Bite:
I honestly don’t know how Larissa C. Moyer did this. How was she able to something so traumatic, so emotionally eviscerating, and still find room for softness? For something achingly beautiful between two shattered souls? It doesn’t just pull on your heartstrings, it full on rugby tackles them to the ground and keeps you there.
This isn’t about romantic tension or swoony moments. It’s about survival. About living with grief that you can’t speak of, and trauma that doesn’t fade just because time moves on. The dual timeline adds so much depth to the story as well. The reveals are sharp and perfectly timed gut-punches. And that ending? What in the actual???? I’m still recovering.
THIS BOOK IS HEAVY. CHECK YOUR CONTENT WARNINGS. But if you can hold the weight, you’ll never forget it.

This is my first Larissa C. Moyer book, and if this ALC is any indication, it will not be my last. Shiloh James and Sean Masters deliver a performance that spans a tragic before trauma/after trauma timeline…and it is decidedly one of the most devastating experiences I have ever read. Before the devastation, though, there was beauty and blossoming with a poignancy that is so fitting for Paige and Linc. Their story unfolds as it needs and deserves to.
I’m going to dance delicately around the story details, because this is one of those stories you need to be able to experience with some blinders. I will tell you this: there is substantial amount of critical plot building in the first 17 or so chapters. These chapters go back and forth between Paige & Linc’s POVs, and at different places in time. Trust the process. I went into this story without anything but the TWs. The me at the start of the story versus the me at the end? Not. The. Same.
Shiloh is our FMC Paige, a beautiful Pip to sweet Linc. She drives the story with her jaded vulnerability. What had once been for Paige isn’t her current reality, and it is evident in Shiloh’s performance that she is trying so hard to process many stages of grief. There is a sense something tragic has happened, and the glimpses into the “before” that Shiloh delivers through her performance are the most remarkable breadcrumbs. I love how Paige is written — she is shaped by the love of her Gram and of her friendship with Linc. Shiloh has such a distinct voice and she matches Paige step for step; it is almost as if Paige was written for her voice. I loved her POV chapters.
And then there’s Linc. Sean Masters delivers, what I think, is one of his best performances to date. He shines in the “before” as a young man who adores his best friend, and in the “after” is haunted as an older shell of himself. As my brain started to piece together all the clues, the nuances of Sean’s performance led me to some of the most emotive reactions I’ve had listening to an audiobook. Sean makes deliberate choices in his performance. There is power in Sean’s subtlety in delivering a slight stammer for this character that should be noted and celebrated. He executes this perfectly.
When I was finished listening to this story, I realized what a cohesive picture Sean and Shiloh were able to create with this story and their voices. To be fair, Shiloh and Sean are the only voices who could’ve brought this innocence and devastation to life.
This story is an investment of time, heart and patience. The world of Paige and Linc, along with their friends Ellis and Rio…every detail is a deliberate thread of their tapestry. I appreciate how Larissa gave Paige and Linc time and room to grow up together before she ripped the rug out from under them.

There is a sense something tragic has happened, and the glimpses into the “before” that Shiloh delivers through her performance are the most remarkable breadcrumbs. I love how Paige is written — she is shaped by the love of her Gram and of her friendship with Linc. Shiloh has such a distinct voice and she matches Paige step for step; it is almost as if Paige was written for her voice. I loved her POV chapters.
And then there’s Linc. Sean Masters delivers, what I think, is one of his best performances to date. He shines in the “before” as a young man who adores his best friend, and in the “after” is haunted as an older shell of himself. As my brain started to piece together all the clues, the nuances of Sean’s performance led me to some of the most emotive reactions I’ve had listening to an audiobook. Sean makes deliberate choices in his performance. There is power in Sean’s subtlety in delivering a slight stammer for this character that should be noted and celebrated. He executes this perfectly.
When I was finished listening to this story, I realized what a cohesive picture Sean and Shiloh were able to create with this story and their voices. To be fair, Shiloh and Sean are the only voices who could’ve brought this innocence and devastation to life.
This story is an investment of time, heart and patience. The world of Paige and Linc, along with their friends Ellis and Rio…every detail is a deliberate thread of their tapestry. I appreciate how Larissa gave Paige and Linc time and room to grow up together before she ripped the rug out from under them.

📖 I NEED PART TWO RIGHT NOW! Omg I just finished this and I don’t know how I will wait for more 😭😖 This book was so freaking good. I knew early on this was going to be a painful one, and oh it hurt so good. The past was so masterfully revealed from our two MCs perspectives in a now and then timeline. *Something* happened 7 years in the past that deeply affected both of them and tore them apart, but we don’t know the full truth of that event for QUITE a way into the book… and BRAVO! And woahhh I was really worried there was going to be more of *him* but noooooo, that cliffy 😭😖😫
This is one of those books that if you have no triggers, going in blind leads to a wild ride, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! But it’s heavy, so if you do have triggers I would highly recommend checking out the content warnings for this book.
🎧 This audio was absolutely incredible!! It was an intense, emotional journey that Sean and Shiloh delivered with such dynamic and passionate performances. I talk a lot about how much of a Sean fan I am, but this performance was really next level. He did a phenomenal job playing 17 year old Linc and a grown up Linc (7 years older), who has developed a fairly severe stutter and suffers from anxiety and panic attacks. This was my first time listening to Shiloh and she was amazing! She brought so much energy and emotion to her portrayal of Paige while keeping such a natural cadence that makes you feel like you’re listening to a real conversation. I can’t wait to listen to more of her work!

I'm gonna need a little bit to gather my thoughts and dry my tears
I don't usually write my reviews right away but I cannot stop thinking about this book and I just had to get my thoughts out. I don't think there's another author out there whose writing reaches me on such a deep level as Larissas does.
We all talk about having book boyfriends but that's not the case here. Lincoln is Paiges. I don't even feel like I could put a bookish claim on him because he utterly and unequivocally belongs to Paige. And Paige to Lincoln. I don't know how Larissa has done it, she has woven her magic into these words. Her characters are so real, so raw, so tangible, that I don't just read about them, I'm fully immersed in them.
If youve read 'in our hands' and 'finding more', just know that Without the Moon is very different and taking a step into the dark romance genre. It's not what I'd call a typical dark-romance, more as a traumatic and devastating love story with extremely dark themes. Because my god.. are the twists and turns pitch black. It's dark romance but with more emotion, more heartache and more depth.
The relationships within the book were phenomenal. Paige and Gram especially touched a place in my heart that I reserve just for my own Grandma. We had a very similar relationship and the grief Paige experienced was all too familiar.
If you do anything this year, it's add this book to your tbr. Your goodreads. Whatever it is you use. You're not going to want to miss this one.
I cannot wait for Act Two (literally feel like I'm not gonna last) because I just *need* to know what is going to happen now that everything is out in the open. Learning what I learned on that last page split my heart right open and I need Larissa to patch it back up again.
Thank you so much for an ARC of this book, I'm so happy I met you on here last year and I'm so excited to continue being a cheerleader for you 🖤

This book was sooooo emotionally charged it's wild!! The characters are broken but trying their best to heal. Definitely read the trigger warning list on this one before you dive into it just in case. I had no issue with any of the triggers but take a gander :) There is so much to unpack in this story! The two main characters really go through some heavy trauma. The side characters are amazing in this, they're some of my favorites. Larissa does an amazing job at portraying emotional, real, raw scenes in every one of her books, but this one in particular, cuts you to your soul in the best and worst ways!
If you want to go into straight sad girl summer era, which let's face it who doesn't? This book is for you!!! The storyline surprised me and kept me guessing the ENTIRE time! I have about 12 million theories as well! To sum it up this book is a mix of suspense, trauma, second chance romance, and emotionality at it's peak! And that ending gahhhhhh the cliffhanger is real. Go read it immediately!!

My jaw is still on the floor. It dropped immediately with that final line. Wow.
This book is emotional, raw, and dark. And yet at its core it’s about two people who have loved each other so deeply their entire lives. Through all the joys and through unimaginable pain.
If you are a fan of Still Beating by Jennifer Hartmann I highly suggest you give this book a read. This is the third book of Larissa’s I have read and the writing is incredible every time. How this story was told and how it unfolded… I’m sort of speechless. I’m going to be processing that ending until Act 2 comes out.
Linc, Pip, Ellis. I love them all so much. I’m already protective of them all. I cannot wait to see how their story ends. I have no doubt it will be the ending they all wholeheartedly deserve.

This book leaves us on a BRUTAL cliffhanger, and I need Act Two asap so I can pick my jaw up off the floor!
I’m not going to lie, at first I was a little unsure of this book, because I had so many questions, but it’s one of those stories that you HAVE TO KEEP READING to get the full picture and *almost* every question answered. There is a lot of backstory to the characters and what happened in the BEFORE to understand the NOW. This is such an emotional, raw, and dark story for Paige and Linc and it is written so well.
Paige and Linc are childhood sweethearts separated by such a tragic event, that have found their way back to each other. They are dealing the aftermath of trauma is totally different ways, and Linc is such a broken MMC. Their love for each other after years of being apart is still so strong, Paige is Linc’s muse and he is obsessed with her.
I wish I could co into more detail about what happened, and I don’t want to give too many secrets away, but I’m desperate to finish and learn what happened with Linc’s past. There are so many questions to still be answered.

Seven years of heartbreak, hazel-eyed memories, and burlesque nights—Paige and Linc are the ultimate lesson in “it’s complicated.” He’s hiding in the mountains with his dog (because of course he has a dog), and she’s lighting up LA’s hottest burlesque club with nothing but grit and ghostly memories of him.
But when fate throws them back together, the sparks don’t just fly—they explode. Their past isn’t just messy; it’s a full-blown hurricane of fractured memories and unresolved trauma that refuses to stay buried.
This story is raw, emotional, and brimming with tension so thick you could cut it with a stilettos heel. If you’re here for aching romance, second chances, and a little bit of burlesque glamour, prepare to be haunted—in the best possible way.

WOW… JUST WOW! I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough—I was completely captivated by Paige and Linc’s love story. Their journey from childhood friends to lovers made the story even more special, and I loved the many layers of history and emotion between them. The suspense of uncovering the incident that tore them apart had me on edge the entire time, and when the truth was revealed, I was shaken to the core! I did not see that coming AT ALL.
I also fell in love with Paige’s relationship with her grandma—it was heartwarming and added so much depth to the story. And the ending? THE ENDING?! Mind-blowing! I need book two in my hands right now. This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster, and I loved every second. Thank you for such an unforgettable read!

This book is a beautiful masterpiece of an emotional ride that grips you from the start. Written in dual POV and Timelines, the childhood friends to love story of Lincoln and Paige unfolds around a traumatic event that unexpectedly separates them and changes the course of both of their lives.
This dark romance deals with the aftermath of trauma, and its debilitating impact on those who experienced it. The mental health issues are depicted in detail and at times, this book tore my heart out. With Larissa’s ability to write characters with so much depth and heart, it was easy for me to fall in love with Lincoln, Paige and Ellis and desperately want to see them heal.
With unexpected plot twists, a vile villain, a slow burn and at times, heart wrenching romance, I am impatiently waiting to see where these soulmates end up. Highly recommend!
NOTE: Please read the CW. Your mental health is important.

LISTEN. Larissa can do no wrong in my eyes. But this is truly a masterpiece. She hooked me from page one and took me on an emotional ride the whole way through. These characters have my heart. I loved every second, and I can't wait to see where this story goes. Larissa has an amazing way of making you fall in love with characters and their flaws. These two have so much trauma they're working through and you can't help but root for them and feel for them. Also side characters? I love them all. I need more of them all in my life. Every single person in this book is written with such intention and vibrancy. THE POINT IS: I love this book. I love Larissa. I love these characters. Please, please, please (in the Sabrina Carpenter singsong voice) read this when it comes out! Especially if you enjoy dark romance. Part One is not as dark as what most dark romance readers are used to but it's Larissa's "bridge" into darkness, if you will.

Hi, hello. I am undeniably and unequivocally 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵. I finished 𝕎𝕚𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕦𝕥 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕄𝕠𝕠𝕟 by Larissa C. Moyer and it 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘭. I will think about it every single day… 𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥. Or whenever the sequel is published. Honestly, both.
This is one for the record books, y’all. It’s heavy and emotional, but it’s well worth the read if you can handle dark romance. Between dual timelines and dual POVs, Moyer weaves a heartbreaking, aching tragedy, wrought with love, loss, trauma, and so many deep emotions. 𝕎𝕚𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕦𝕥 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕄𝕠𝕠𝕟 follows main characters Linc and Paige from child to adulthood, from just friends to relationship, from art school to the horrors of Hollywood, from happy to barely hanging by a thread. I laughed, I swooned, I sobbed uncontrollably. The tears began welling up in my eyes before I even made it to page 100. The way I sat in stunned, shocked silence upon reading that cliffhanger at the end is not an exaggeration. I am 𝘸𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥, and this is one piece of dark, contemporary literature that I am wholeheartedly honored to have ARC read.
If you haven’t been able to tell by now, 𝕎𝕚𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕦𝕥 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕄𝕠𝕠𝕟 is, without a doubt, one of the best books I have read all year. I truly do not know how to move on from it. Part of this can be attributed to the fact that the characters were artists and as obsessed with 𝘉𝘶𝘧𝘧𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘝𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘚𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳 as I am, but truth is it’s entirely because of the writing, the plot, and the pure talent that is Larissa C. Moyer. I need more, I need the rest, I need the conclusion. I cannot wait for book two!

I recieved this as an ARC and all opinions and thoughts are my own.
Wow, that's all I can say after finishing this book. I was confused to begin with, trying to piece it all together, and when it all started coming together it was horrifying. And the realization at the end.. I'm in shock. The build up and character development was fantastic, and the broken love story was beautiful despite everything. Will definitely be reading the next one!

Ohhhhh my goodness. This was dark, thrilling and heartbreaking. I couldn’t put it down. Such a devastating story with a huge cliffhanger. I’m glad I waited until closer to the second book’s release to read this because I couldn’t have waited on that cliff for long. Preordering book 2 immediately!! Wow.

Gosh dang it Larissa! This book was deep, dark, deep and dark! I did not expect where it was going, but I loved it! **I will mention you must check out the trigger warnings prior to reading!** I was hooked instantly! I could not put it down and just needed to know more.
So much happened within the pages of this book. Lincoln and Paige are phenomenal together. They need each other for strength and that’s exactly how it went. They trauma bond and they continue to go through HEAVY trauma together! I loved this book from the first to last word. Thank you Larissa! 🫶🏻
