Despite Spyrits, pleas for Wyld to make amends with Ryan immediately, he doesn’t heed the warning, which turns out to be the costliest error in his life.

That dude is a clown!
I loved this book with the same passion I hated Ryan!! Oh my goodness he has to be one of the top 5 of T Styles most vindictive characters!
Before I get into my hatred of Ryan let me say, I loved the characters names and spellings. Wyld Heart, Spyrit Heart, Border Heart. Very different and very original. This story had everything that THIS reader needs in a good 5 star read. Family drama, secrets, a love story, jealousy, the works!!
Back to Ryan!! He was the most hate filled, secret keeping, villain of them all. Definitely what this story needed to keep readers on the edge of their seats! Definitely worth the wait!

What a Twist.
I'm a huge fan of the authors work, and I must say that this was different. I gave the book four stars because of the ending. I'm mad that Wlyd is given ol girl a chance and she still getting high. She seemed so perfect for him. On the other hand, the twist with Ryan and how childhood memories can be suppressed was brilliant. I definitely think a part two is in order. I wanna see what they're relationship brings. Great job author..

Clown niggas
T Styles never disappoints with her books. This one is no difference! Ryan is exactly what the title says a clown nigga. This book is full of deceit, secrets, and trust issues! The plot twist took me for a loop, I was not expecting that at all!

Straight from beginning it stated based on a true story...I felt the passion in the this here read TStyles. The steady flow of your pen or keyboard strokes as you wrote this book. No flaws in my opinion (not because your my fave author...lol), but you did this book great justice. I enjoyed from beginning to end. I would leave it up to other readers to stay the indebt opinion but I feel this is all I need to say. Thanks for a 5 star read.

I enjoyed this book. I really understand Ryan he was who he was mama t made him just they you thought of him in her mind. He was twisted but all in all a decent read. The name fit the book perfectly to me. T. Styles is a beast when it comes to the pen game trust and believe she is the truth. Another bits the dust now waiting on her next book.

The long awaited book was on point from start to finish. I know everyone's saying how they hate Ryan but once you find out why he's an twisted character you are simply amazed. My momma has done it again.

Great story, so many unique expected plot twist & turns but I loved every minute of it. Amelia really let me down at the end I wanted so much better for her.

I wasn't going to read this book because the title instantly turned me off. But, BAYYYYBEEEEEE let me tell you, this book is FIRE! Ryan was HORRIBLE! Wyld Heart was my nigga. The twist at the end I did not see coming at all! Loved the Greek mythology reference in the book. It went perfect with story. Another great one from T.Styles

I must admit, I had no idea what the pages inside this book would reveal when I first started reading. Intriguing characters made this story an unforgettable one. Ryan was odd but after completing the story, I see why... Storyline & content made this another good twisted story by T. Styles.

Damn
T. Styles never stops amazing me. There is always some kind of secret that you have to find out so putting the book down is not an option. Wyld and Amelia were truly some characters. Ryan I am just in amazement. You don't want to pass up this book. I would highly recommend.

Great read by T. Styles. I loved the way she spelled the characters names in this book, very unique. Ryan is one of those "you love to hate characters." This story was definitely a page turner.
