Possession follows Elijah and Clarissa, two characters with a long and complicated history who go through a lot in order to fight for their love. I don’t want to spoil too much because part of the enjoyment comes from uncovering all the twists and turns along the way.
This book leans more toward dark romance, though I would personally classify it as romantic suspense. There are themes involving physical abuse toward women, including a couple of scenes on page, so keep that in mind going in since there is no trigger warning list included in the book.
I really enjoyed the emotional ups and downs of the story and the slow-burn romance. The pacing worked well for me because it built tension without feeling painfully slow. I also had fun trying to figure out where the story was heading.
That said, there were a few places where the story fell a little flat for me emotionally, which kept it from being a full 4-star read. Overall though, this was an entertaining romantic suspense with drama, emotion, and plenty of twists.
Absolutely 4.8 stars! Possession is my first read from Cassidy Vale and honestly… I’m impressed.
The storytelling felt so refreshing from the start. The opening hooked me immediately, and I loved that the author actually took time building the characters and background instead of throwing random dialogue at us before we even knew who anyone was. The writing style is just so new and refreshing!
The first half had me laughing, the middle had me trying to solve the mystery, and the ending got me so emotional.
Daddy Beaumont?? ICONIC. LOL
One thing I would’ve loved to see more of was the development of certain character dynamics because a few relationships felt far too interesting to have such limited page time.
Well, I'll admit this isn't my usual kind of book, but the premise caught my attention. A personal assistant passes out, and her billionaire boss tells the ER she's his wife? That's quite a way to start a story. It's a quick, fun read dramatic and a bit over the top, but entertaining. The tension between them crackles, and you find yourself rooting for the assistant, whose life has been falling apart. A nice escape for an afternoon.
This book is brilliantly written Cassidy is a new to me author, I will definately be reading more by her. Great storyline - it is riveting, exciting, full of angst and genuine feelings.
