GASLIGHT
THEY SAY KINGS NEVER DIE.
MY NAME IS CLARA KING, AND THIS IS THE STORY OF HOW I DIE.
Socialite and psychology major Clara King looked forward to spending her twenty-first birthday at home in Florida. However, that all changes when her overbearing father drags her on a family vacation to Mexico, where Clara collides with their hot chauffeur, Enzo Ramirez.
Enzo grew up on the rough streets of Tampico Bay; Clara grew up near Billionaires Row.
Opposites attract, but not for this pair.
Clara would learn that there was a thin line between love and hate and that the burning resentment she felt for Driver Boy would soon burn into something much hotter as the small town they inhabit would force them into close proximity.
On the surface, Tampico Bay was the perfect setting for a summer romance, but beneath that shimmer and sparkle ran cracks in the streets filled with blood and secrets that were best left buried.
The only problem?
Clara couldn’t help digging up truths, but the deeper she dug, the deeper her grave would be.

🖤🔥Gaslight by Holly Dixon – A Dark Romance Full of Obsession, Betrayal & Blistering Heat 🔥🖤
Let me just take a moment to breathe because Gaslight wrecked me—in the best possible way. This book isn’t just a dark romance. It’s a full-on descent into desire, danger, and deliciousness…all contained in feelings and emotions. It has a touch of bad ass bitch energy. I enjoyed every wicked minute of it. There is so much to unpack in this story. I really don’t want to give away too many spoilers. However, we need to know some things.
*Please note this book comes with trigger warnings but they are all listed at the beginning of the book*
The book is 561 pages of Betrayal, lust, love, death, loss, grief, power, and well self-acceptance. It is rare for me to find a book that I know I must read again after just five chapters.
✨ Highlights:
Red flag romance that had me screaming, “No… but also, yes??”
Tension so thick you could cut it with a knife (or a well-placed threat) or you know work it out on a tyre… (will make sense once you’ve read the book.)
Scorching scenes that toe the line between pain and pleasure (listen the girl can write a spicy scene and not just well but make you mildly obsessed.)
Plot twists that made me put the book down just to process. By process I mean I read it in two days. Put the book down picked it up and continued to read it.
The little nod to Illicit Affairs and Mr Brooks, who we still love. Quite frankly, Enzo makes him look like a saint.
The bite mark tattoo
And an ending that left me craving more (and possibly in therapy but in all the right ways.)
This book is not for the faint of heart—and thank God for that. The end of chapter 49 had my heart leaping out of my chest. It was so intense that I almost threw the book across the room. I had not expected to bawl my eyes out several times in this book. But here we are.
The ending of this book is bloody spectacular. Credit where credit is due, the author knows how to keep you gripped. From the moment you pick the book up, to the moment you turn to the very last page.
It’s for readers who love their romance dark, dirty, and dripping with emotional chaos. This is for the who will not only put up with my bratting but take great pleasure in maintaining it girlies. Congratulations. This one’s for you!

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Spice Level: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 (Brace. Yourself. You have been warned)
Final Thoughts: Gaslight is a masterclass in dark romance. Obsessive love. Unforgivable choices. Red-hot chemistry. And to be fair a therapy session all in one. It checked every box and then set the whole checklist on fire. I’m officially feral and must learn to stop spamming Holly’s Tik-Toks.
For those that get to read this for the very first time consider me incredibly jealous of this fact.
💋🖤 Read it. Obsess over it. Lose your moral compass and enjoy the fall. ‘don’t let life gaslight you into thinking you’re stuck.’💋🖤

I very gratefully received an ARC copy from Holly, but my review is still unbiased and honest 🫶🏼
Anyway now that’s over.
In the most respectful way possible Holly, fuck you (with love I swear) the way this book played with my emotions, made me want to throw the book across the room, yet somehow I couldn’t be distracted from reading.
Cue TikTok sound “I am in pain, and you put me here.” THATS HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW.
This is an ARC so I won’t spoil any details, however, the tension? Fuck me. Had me trying to compel mind powers to get these two to fuck already, at least they wouldn’t be so bitchy 😭.
The writing style is so interactive and grips you in, in the best of ways, whenever ‘nosey’ was mentioned (I’m spoiling ONE thing that I feel is not a major plot line.)
Clara was so fun and energetic yet deep and layered and UGH I ate this shit up like a four course meal.
I don’t want to give any spoilers bc I don’t wanna ruin it for anyone but there are SO MANY quotes I would use if this was out for all to read.
Just know this is my new favourite book and yall are in for a treat. A heartbreaking, jaw dropping, I want to curl into a ball and cry type of treat, but you’ll love the pain I promise.
I’m forever grateful to Holly for gifting me this ARC and I will cherish it forever. Thank you so so much, but also again in the most loving way, fuck you for doing that to me.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I would pay to read this again for the first time.
