Wynter has lived on the outside for eight months. While her sister Joy finds life away from the cult increasingly difficult, Wynter is growing stronger. She begins to open up to her brothers about her childhood and gains confidence in dealing with the world, even manipulating her siblings' useless father into stepping up at last.
When a horrific accident threatens to tear everything apart, it seems Wynter's dreams of a happy family may be destroyed. Meanwhile, Joy reveals a secret about someone from Wynter's past, and the family dynamics head in a new direction that no one asked for.
Rhythm & Rhyme is book 3 of the Wynter Wild series and is suitable for age 16+. Some characters in this book have strong opinions about touchy subjects. If anything offends you, it's probably Jesse's fault. Includes mature themes with allusions to self harm; past sexual, physical and emotional abuse; occasional violence; drug use; sexual references. Wynter does not have sexual abuse or assault in her past or her future.
This is a complex tale of individual members of one family trying to co-exist with each other amid myriad of life experiences. The trials and tribulations this family faces are not atypical of the average family, hence, the draw for the reader to enter their world and see how their lives will all come about for the future. Very entertaining reading: poignant, pathos, pain, outrage, joy, harmony, love and hope. The characterizations and the "stage" where each character plays there part, is so raw, elemental and rivetting to keep the reader highly vested in this story. This original story is rich in imagery. This is a series, so the reader needs to know, that at the end of one novel there is no happy-ever-after achieved and the saga rolls on to the next novel. Off to the next installment ...
Ugh, this family of siblings is too much. It's alot to process with each installment. The growth and heartache experienced is borderline emotional damage material. I'm sucked in and committed to finding out where Wynter's story with her brothers is headed.
It's not often I'll read an 8 hour book in a single sitting but I'm hooked on this story. Another surprise because I usually get bored of extended series with the same characters. This is so well written. P.S. I never liked Bea from the start.
The Wynter Wild series has quickly become my new favorite. I definitely see myself reading this series again and again. I love Wynter and her brothers, and the other characters as well. They're all complex and well developed. This book has you on the edge of your seat. It's almost impossible to stop reading. I'd recommend for mature readers due to some deep and sensitive subjects. I received a copy of this story for free, in exchange for an honest review.
This is an entertaining read. I love the humorous dialogue between the siblings. Wynter struggles with the secret Joy revealed due to her telling Wynter not to tell the brothers. I recommend it for anyone who likes family secrets.
After beautifully building up strong character development and storyline in her first two books, Creasy unfortunately destroys her work in book three. Several characters behavior contradict what she previously developed. She also steers them into areas which detracts from the storyline. This book began to feel more like a soap opera, rather than a continuation of the series.
Deeply disappointing and wished I had finished the series with Book 2. The continuation of this series appears to demonstrate a struggle to find closure within the storyline. While the story is interesting, it isn't worthy of a nine book series. The amount of ratings this series has received, reflect the lack of interest.
While I applaud her for her achievement in writing nine books and feel she has talent, the lack of discernment with this series leaves me not wanting to pursue reading future works.
3.75 This storyline gets way more complicated here. Raw emotions. So many set backs. Caleb has his life pulled out from under him. Indio. Well, I don’t know what to make of his progress, or regression. It’s startling for sure. Wynter grows here. A lot. In fact, this sheltered, almost feral child who showed up a year ago, seems immensely mature and able to discern others’ emotions and motives better than the older brothers.
Once again I am in love with this series. Each character has their own depth, but play off each other well. Wynter is learning about the world and I’m fascinated watching her do it. I look forward to reading the next book and learning even more about the guys and Wynter. Read it!!
Wow, you will find that each book will pull you further in to this story and you will not be able to not start read the next book. This author is really talented at writing.
