Unravelled

by Jade Winters

Rae and Lindsay are best friends and both have their share of troubles. Rae has a broken marriage behind her, and has lost hope of ever finding happiness again.

Dark and compelling

This wasn't my usual fare, it was darker than I usually pick out. A compelling story line and intrigue meant that I couldn't put this one down.

If you know Jade’s work, this story is not what you’d expect and therefore will surprise you. If you like surprises, like I do, you should give it a go. What does not differ from her other books: This story is also well plotted and the characters also have to deal with big emotions and tough decisions.

Wow, I need more!!!

“As the liquid burnt its way down her gullet, Lindsay abandoned all feelings, and her empty soul became as buoyant towards life as her body became in the water—devoid of gravity, devoid of stability and absolutely devoid of hope.”

When love becomes a thing that becomes necessary, maneuvered & fatalistic, its desperation twisted into obsession—& dark, bad s*$% usually gonna come with it.

This story TOTALLY mindf*%ked me & I can't get it out of my mind or just let the whole story go. 💯, NEED (like full on begging, pleading, on my knees, crying like James Brown & Keith Sweat type of groveling!!) a sequel to know what became of these characters lives!!! Cone on… hook a sista up Jade!!

Enjoyable

I have liked everything I’ve read by Jade until now... Don’t get me wrong. It was okay but not what I’m use to from this author. I met so many characters but didn’t get to learn about all of them. I just don’t know about this one. I’m still a fan though.

Spoiled by happy endings

I am sure the situation in this book does happen- what a couple of sad situations. I really like happy endings, with that said- would not recommend this book- i kept waiting for someone, anyone to come to their senses....too late.

😢TRAGIC 😢
My what a sad tale. I'm truly at a loss for any positive comment.
Oh except perhaps the title truly expressed the entire book.
And you couldn't even endow Lindsay with a small amount of understanding. Even when her partner did just that for her. Like I said TRAGIC!!!

Not a lesbian romance. Straight story plot.

Disappointing

I've read many books with disappointing endings, but this tops them all. Ms. Winters has been on my must read list, but no more. If I wasn't so disappointed, I would be angry.

I'd have given this book a five star rating if the story was completed, but I absolutely hate reading a book that simply stops dead in its tracks.

Twisted

This was a really creepy book, but a very good story. The fact that you can understand how someone could be tricked and manipulated makes it even creepier.
