Thorn
Secrets are deadly. But so is hate. In a battle of survival, who would come out unscathed.
I have a past. A past that tore apart my life and sent me running to Chicago. It took me a year before I was able to move on until I met him. A stranger who turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing.
There was only one word that describes Nate Logan: Devil. He is the reincarnation of Satan hellbent on ruining my life. Just like me, he and his friends have a secret they weren't willing to share with me. A secret that was the answer to the hatred they had for me. But things started to get out of hand when my past kept surfacing up all over the place, and I feared for my sanity and the life I managed to build for myself. In between battling out with each other, love got in the way, and for the second time found myself scared of losing the only good thing in my life. Until the biggest secret Nate and his friends were hiding got out, and my life came crashing down once again, until I had nothing to hold on to. And I realized that secrets never stay hidden and people aren't what they always seemed to be.

I gave this book 2 stars. I liked it a lot more in the beginning, but as we got deeper into the story I found more and more problems with everything.
The writing felt a bit choppy at times, like “I did this”, “I did that”, or “I felt this”. The portrayal of events could have been a bit smoother without all the “I” statements. Also at times, the grammar was horrible. Some of the things characters would say would just completely throw me off when trying to understand what they were saying. For example, Nate is supposed to be this rich kid who's had everything, which should include a proper education. Meaning he should have taken a grammar lesson or two. I’d assume his syntax would be better.
There were parts of this book that used sayings that were used when I was twelve and if used now would have people laughing at you. Like those “deep” Tumblr posts that everyone was obsessed with back in the day.
There were parts of this book that felt insincere. The reactions had no build. It felt like there were just instantaneous shifts in emotions it practically gave me whiplash.
I wasn’t supportive of the main couple. Nate was borderline abusive. He was horrible. He was one of those guys that turn on you for saying no.
I think that this book would have been a lot better if it had gone through another round of editing. Something to sift filter out the errors. It had a lot of potential but ended up being a bit of a mess.
Despite all the issues I had with this book I still feel a strong need to read the next book and find out what happens. I need to know what happens with them.

Hmmm... Thorn! Well, it’s first book in the series and lemme tell you something upfront; the book has potential, the characters have potential! But there was something missing. The story and the chemistry between characters was always at the brink but it just wouldn’t topple over and leave the reader breathless. Sometimes the emotions would build, the mystery would enthrall you but then you’d encounter a typo or a grammatical error (they bother me to no end), and it’ll lose its charm! Plus, sometimes it was hard to connect with the heroine, she sometimes seemed a bit over the top, but maybe that’s just me cuz I am a very mellow person myself. Again, I guess it’s cuz this is the first book, and hopefully the books to come would be better edited.
A story with potential, just needs a bit of tweaking.

Happy Reading.

Arc for an honest review.
I liked this book but it should have went through another round of edits before being published. It has potential, but with all the grammatical errors in the beginning of the book, I wasn’t sure if I’d finish it or not or if I even wanted to. I felt like the author was writing in 1st, 2nd and 3rd person writing. It was kind of all over the place in the beginning and while some parts would build up to more, it would turn into something totally different. The ending and the authors writing seemed to make a little more sense and it made me understand a little better of what was going on between the two main characters.
I didn’t love this book and I didn’t hate it, but I’m curious to know if there’s a second book, because I want to know what happens between Nate and Aria or even Ace and Aria.
I think with time the author will progress with her writing.

I don't even know what to say. This was just not my cup of tea. There was too many ups and downs and things that just didn't make sense to me. I kept thinking why am I still reading this. I'm sorry I tried to find something to like about it but I couldn't. I couldn't even connect with the characters or any part of the story.

I thought the concept of the story was solid. I liked the characters and how twisted their relationships were. However, I feel as though I would have enjoyed the book more if it was more of a smooth read. It made it tough with all the spelling errors/omission of words, etc. I felt as though in the beginning the story dragged with the constant back and forth between Nate and Aria. That being sad, once the story came to a head at the end, I was anxious to see what happened.
