Rosalie “Rose” Blackwood has spent years trapped in a marriage built on betrayal.
Her husband, Dominic Blackwood, is everything the world admires—charming, successful, untouchable. But behind closed doors, he is something else entirely.
His lies. His affairs. His quiet cruelties. They’ve hollowed her out piece by piece.
When Rose reaches her breaking point, she decides she’s done fighting for a man who refuses to change.
Then she meets Zyon Deveraux.
With him, everything feels different. Safe. Intoxicating. Real.
For the first time in years, Rose dares to imagine a life beyond her marriage.
But Dominic isn’t ready to let her go.
Rose becomes convinced he’s watching her… following her… closing in on the one person who’s made her feel alive again.
And when Zyon suddenly disappears—Rose is certain her husband has done the unthinkable.
Now, she’ll do whatever it takes to uncover the truth. Even if it means losing herself completely.
Where do I begin.. This was Dekiris debut and for that I do applaud, cause this was a complex, emotional, captivating story. Well done! It kept me on my toes from the start. I sympothized with Rose so much and I felt so bad for her, the emotional trauma she had to endure was not fair and not easy to read about. I had my suspisions from the start, of where this book was going, and it was nicely excecuted until the last 90%. I feel like the ending missed the mark somehow. It was not a bad ending, but it lacked something, like it really hasn't ended yet?
With that said - this book is easly read, didnt take me many hours to finish and I felt like it really captivated me. Thank you Dekiri for this one, looking forward to your work in the future!
WOW!! I couldn’t put the book down and finished it in a day.
The betrayal and heartache Rose experiences was so relatable, and I was left feeling all the emotions with her. Not to mention I couldn’t have guessed that twist towards the end ‼️
Yalll RUN dont walk to read this book !!! I was hooked from page one ! It’s like coming off the highest point of a roller coaster !! I never expected for this girl to have lost her damn mind ! I lost my damn mind reading this !!!! Yall somebody read this so we can talk abt thiisssssss !!!!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This psychological thriller was a FREAKING RIDE. Some of the twists I suspected were coming, but that did absolutely NOTHING to prepare me for the last part of this book. I was glued to the pages and genuinely could not put it down!
The emotions, the betrayal, the DAMAGE?! 😩 The way everything comes together had my mind absolutely BLOWN.
You know when a book has you questioning everything, thinking you’ve figured it out, and then you’re still sitting there like WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL?! Yeah. THIS BOOK. 🤯
If you’re looking for a wild, twisty psychological thriller that will mess with your head and take you on an emotional roller coaster, ADD THIS TO YOUR TBR. Because OMG. I need to talk about this book!! 🔥📚
This was a great debut book! An easy-to-read book. I really like the twist in the end, even though I had my suspicions. But it was still good. I would have like more of an ending, if left me with som questions but some people like that so is more of a personal reference. Its going to be fun to follow Dekeri in her writing be cause I will buy the next book as well
Some thoughts on the physical books layout: - I thought the font size was a bit too large; it might be better to go down a size. - The lines of text could have been a bit longer, use the pages well. - There’s no need for paragraphs or blank lines all the time, as it disrupts the reading flow a bit.
I ate this book up!!! I was caught up from the beginning. It had such a real feel to it like hearing the story of someone close to you going through it. You wanna yell and scream for her to get the hell on but she doesn’t. This book gives you the feels and flips you when you get the twists. I love every minute of it. For this to be a first book it was a full blown ride and I’m here for these thrillers. Side note there was some light spice but it was just enough for me being I don’t so too much.
I think this is the author’s debut book and of course everything can be refined but the concept and story was chef kiss in my opinion. A good story is hard to come by.
Devastatingly beautiful , healing and able to rock you to your core.
I knew from the prolog I'd like your writing style. I knew from chapter one, this book would rip me open. Force me to face things I didn't even realize I actually avoided. Kept my brain intrigued and processing, able to see the twist coming, never prepared for where it landed. Taking me from facing my own past reality to blessedly shoving me into something easier to digest and experience from a distance. Healing and escaping. I absolutely could not describe the depths this book will bring you to.
From the start, I was completely hooked! Erased by Dekeri Harris pulled me in right away and kept me turning the pages. Just when I thought I knew where the story was going, I was slapped with a major twist that I absolutely did not see coming. The ending was heartbreaking and left me feeling all the emotions. Absolutely incredible work—an unforgettable read that kept me captivated from beginning to end.
The way the plot twisted its way out of this story is crazy! I am so happy to have read this book. It might have been one of the only books that felt so relatable and on point until… plot twist! I lived every second of it. Ms. Harris keep up the great work… I’m waiting for more!
I guess….it was ok. Took way too long to get to the point I almost added this to my DNF list, but I wanted to support the author because I love her Instagram account. All in all rose was severely annoying because it's like she didn't know who she was outside of a man and I hated that for her, but I get it.

4.5🌟 This book was a page-turner! I finished it in one day. I didn’t want to stop reading, it was engaging and intriguing. The plot twists, the betrayal, had me hooked. The last chapter left me with my mouth hanging open.
I had never heard of this author before she popped up on my TT. I downloaded the book and read it in a few hours. It was not what I expected but it sucked me in. I have found an author to add to my list of favs.
This story is a non stop wild ride! And I could not put this book down until ai finished it. I may or may not have finished it while sitting in my church! Love it.
What a plot twist. I can't believe Estelle. This book was really good. I feel like a part 2 is needed because baby Rose needs a padded room and straight jacket 🤣🤣🤣
