Without You #2
Salvation
Amira:
Their death should have ended it.
The dread of waking up in the morning and the nightmares that follow when I close my eyes.. It should have stopped.
And yet, he somehow still lives in my mind.
His voice still speaks in my ear, and his touch still crawls over my skin. It won’t stop..
He’ll never stop.
Not until I’m in the same hell He Is.
Roman:
I don’t know how to help her.
There’s nothing I can say or do that will make everything better.
She has to see for herself.
She’s not going to want to, and she’ll fight it the entire time, but can’t she see we’re drowning?
This is my last resort, the only thing I can think of to save us.
To save her.
We have to go back, and if she hates me after that, then fine, but at least this will be over.
At least she’ll be free

Salvation is book two in the Without You series. Book one, Haunted, should be read first. As book one is about trying to survive and fighting to be with your loved one, book two is about what happens after and the journey of healing.
One of my top five reads of the year and here is why: For one, this book nearly broke me. My eyes watered, my face for most of the book. It’s beyond raw and emotional. My heart broke for Amira and Roman. The pain they felt, especially Amira, just grips hold of you and doesn’t let go. If an author’s writing can do all that and more, it’s five stars to me.
Salvation starts several months after Haunted. The worst part of their life is in the past, or is it? Roman is ready to move forward. Amira's demons still stalk, her during the day and haunt her at night. Struggling to move forward and keep it bottled up. Her emotional scars are still wide open and fresh. Both were still looking over their shoulders.
At times, these two frustrated the hell out of me. However, it’s part of their journey. Roman’s love for Amira runs deep, and he is fiercely protective of her.
Salvation is not for the faint of heart. It’s dark and to some, it will be pitch black. On my dark scale, it’s black. It’s heavy and intense. Overall, this book is equally painful and beautiful. Salvation is gold and holds a special spot in my heart.

MY REVIEW AND OTHERS can also be found on my blog: ╰┈➤KITTY KATS CRAZY ABOUT BOOKS
❀ 𝐒𝐀𝐋𝐕𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 ❀ Is the second full length dark book within the (Without You) series by new to me author C.A. Mariah.
I can't believe this hasn't popped up on my radar sooner!! Maybe 2024 is the year I read more by authors I've not read before because this series is so so good!!
This was all about the heartache that came along with healing, or trying to heal is the case when it comes to our heroine. She may be free but the demons are still casting shadows on her mind, chasing her every waking and sleepless moments.
Add in the fear of Roman getting taken away from her for his crimes she was always on edge, never truly feeling free.
But to fully heal she has to go back to fight the demons..
This was such an emotional rollercoaster of a read, no matter how broken she was and the lengths she went to push Roman away I still rooted for these two, even though its wrong on so many levels. Love is love.

My Heart Hurt and Healed With These Two
5 stars
What is love without a little pain?
This one is a story about healing, and healing is never easy and usually comes with a price. Salvation isn't just about Amira and her trauma, just like Salvation isn't about Roman dealing with the aftermath of, well, everything. It's about the two of them finding - trying - their happily ever after, and it's not easy.
We see Amira dealing with some extreme PTSD and Roman doing anything and everything he can to help her, but nothing is enough. Just when they’ve taken one step forward, ten steps are taken back. Amira is struggling with her demons haunting her and Roman just wants to love Amira, and he does, with literally his whole being, but he wants to love her while they move on.
We find these two at an impasse, both fighting for the same thing, but not on the same team. CA Mariah brings light, raw and true and in depth realness, to what pain and trauma can do to someone and their relationship. Nothing is ever simple and this story proves it. Partners are partners for a reason, and as we see the journey or Amira and Roman’s relationship fall apart, Roman does the only thing that’s left for them to move on - confront those demons and do not let them win.
Salvation tests your morals, your patience and your heart. This book has your heart breaking but healing bit by bit as they start to heal bit by bit. We continue to see the everlasting friendship with Ash and Roman, a bromance that needs a story on its own. We’re taught that trauma affects everyone and it affects them differently. But at the end of the day, you can find that salvation. And at the end of the day, this book is still taboo, but please, give the Without You series a chance. Start with Hunted and end with Salvation. And Mariah? Thank you. You know why.
These characters and this story will forever hold a piece of my soul and I hope they do to you as well.

“But where the drowsiness and aches can be washed away by piercing warmth, the memories stay. They burrow in the grooves of your bones and suck the nutrients from your blood like a fucking leech. Memories at some point stop being thoughts and become one with your DNA, and as much as I’d like, I can’t just rinse that away.”
…
Salvation is book two of C.A. Mariah’s “Without You” series and takes place a little after where Hunted left off.
This book, from the prologue alone, had pulled at my heartstrings. Salvation is riveting, dark, haunting, raw, emotional, and heart wrenching. Reading this book consumed me from painful beginning to beautiful end. It ripped me open at the seams and commanded I felt every bit of it.
Salvation is about two deeply broken souls trying to heal after enduring such trauma and pain. In their pursuit of healing and happiness, they go through so many challenges, individually and together. Amira is in a constant battle with herself, having such extreme ptsd and battling her demons. Roman, being so utterly devoted and patient with her, doing anything and everything he can to help her heal and move on from their past trauma. Their continuous fight to make it through the dark to reach that light at the end of the tunnel. The journey you go trough with these characters evokes such emotions out of you. It challenges you but at the end, you can’t help but feel free and happy with them.
Amira is such a strong and resilient woman. Getting to know her and being able to feel every bit of what she felt. Her growth and fight throughout this story was so inspiring. She is a warrior and she fucken survived. And Roman? Ever the protector and having such strength and patience for the one he loves. I have cheered them on from book one and I will never stop doing so.
Oh, and Ash! I can not forget Ash. Despite fighting his own demons, he was always there for both Amira and Roman. Helping them when needed and telling them what they need to hear. I hope we’ll be able to get to know more of Ash, along with Sage.
I’ll be honest, there is a certain trope in this book that I’m not particularly fond of, but the way C.A. Mariah presented and then proceeded to execute this in her writing and story telling? Beautifully done. Love holds no bounds.
C.A. Mariah delivers yet another heartbreakingly beautiful story that will leave you emotionally raw. ✨ May you all be free from the shackles of your past, the grip of your demons, and the battles in your head. 🦋

4.5 Stars!!💙🦋
As soon as i reached the end of Hunted i couldn't wait for more of Ms.Mariah's words! When i found out there would be more of Amira and Roman i was so happy! I picked this one up and was pulled right back into the Without You world! I didn't want to turn away from my kindle. I loved it!
Amira and Roman's journey continues! Once again this story and these two characters got me right in the heart and had me feeling every single thing possible. The emotions that poured from these two with every page turn got to me. I loved getting to dig even deeper with these characters! Their story is far from easy and that as well as their love make it so worth it.
This story showed how life can throw things our way that tears at every part of our being until it feels like we have nothing left of ourselves but the darkness. But our strength even when it doesn't seem like we have it, is in the moments we keep taking that next breath that shows the fight in our hearts and that in and of itself is the power no one or nothing can take away.
With Salvation, Ms.Mariah has created such a fantastic journey which had the dark, the realness, the pain, the heart, and ALL the feels! Her writing is gripping in such a way that will stay with you long after you've reached the end. I cannot wait for more from this author! If you haven't picked up Hunted and Salvation, you so need to!
*I volunteered to read and review a copy of this book from the author*

Damn my poor poor heart ...this was painful to read ! But I loved the journey even though there were things that annoyed me .Roman was good but wasn't my fav hero , sometimes reading his POV mad me pissed off cuz his thought proces weren't where I wanted it to be .For example, let say when Amira is in pain he would be thinking about her body or having sex with her and I'm like " sir, this girl doesn't need that right now just be patient or hug her !!. While saying that I liked him in the last chapters.
Amira my poor girl 🥺.... I couldn't even say something bad about her bc her POV were really sad and I can't blame her for being this way !
Overall I give the duet 4 stars

I spent most of this book trying to understand what the story actually wanted to be.
It feels like there was a clear idea for the beginning and a destination planned for the end—and everything in between was just… figured out as we went along. This was supposed to be about Amira’s recovery and the development of her relationship with Roman. Instead, I felt trapped in the same house, reliving the same emotional loop for what felt like a hundred pages.
Flashback. Trauma. Comfort. Ash orbiting vaguely nearby. Repeat.
Groundhog Day, but make it dark romance.
And my main issue: two books. TWO. And still no chemistry. love? Nothing. I understand this is dark romance—I’m fine with very dark scenes, very few things actually affect me. But if you’re going to drag your characters (and readers) through endless suffering, at some point I expect a reward.
Make them suffer. Make me uncomfortable. Make me angry. Fine.
But give me something at the end.
Between book one and 93% of book two, we get an exhausting amount of rape, torture, and abuse… paired with zero emotional or romantic payoff between the main characters. At some point it stops being dark and starts being stagnant.
Then there are choices that genuinely made me blink. A single Ash POV chapter dropped right in the middle of nowhere—Ash, sir, were you feeling left out?
The writing itself isn’t bad; that’s not the issue. The storytelling is. The pacing refuses to move. The focus refuses to shift.
Ironically, the first book was much stronger and genuinely felt like it was guiding us somewhere. The author knows how to build interest. Which made it even more frustrating when I found myself wanting to clap and say: “Okay. We get it. Move on. Let something change.”
This story absolutely could have justified two books. A duet made sense. Instead, we spend about 70% of the time stuck in the exact same emotional and physical place, only for everything to suddenly explode and resolve during a trip—because apparently that’s where all the plot was hiding.
Important scenes are rushed, summarized, or casually mentioned right when they deserved space. Filler where it wasn’t needed, shortcuts where it mattered most. And then there’s the whole “they might be half-siblings” plotline… introduced with dramatic weight, only to generate absolutely no meaningful conflict in the end. It added shock value, not depth, and ultimately felt unnecessary. If you can remove an entire twist and nothing changes, it probably didn’t belong there.
Dark? Yes.
Rewarding? Not even close.

We all have different ways to deal with trauma, Amira is struggling with her nightmares, even if the people who caused her pain are gone their ghosts still haunt her. Roman is desperately trying to save his Angel but sometimes all the love in this world is not enough.

Book two is about difficulty in overcoming a burdening past, in claiming your life, body and freedom back. In living life like a normal person like an individual deserving of a chance who was never given to them. I felt sorry for Roman, in his desperate attempt to help Amira he failed to succeed, yet his unwavering love and loyalty never failed.
Although the sensitive matter required some significant time to complete this devastating journey to salvation, I felt the story dragged a bit, it got exceedingly slow and repetitive, I understand why the author chose this path giving Amira all the necessary time to heal, I would have liked more development on her new life.

Hey, can we normalize NOT making sexual and romantic relationships between brother and sister a thing??? I hate being a hater, but I’m kind of baffled that the same author who wrote ‘The Death of Us’ wrote these two books. I couldn’t help but get caught up in what felt like too many unintentional contradictions and okay-ish writing. As blah as the writing was, other parts of it were written so well. I don’t know, I’m perplexed on how I feel about these two books. I think maybe the problem was the editing, like the book needed more complex editing… Anyway, the purpose of the story is utterly beautiful and I think the author stunningly displayed the effects of trauma on a person, very much so. I think both the way Amira processes her pain and slowly starts to heal from it was very well written. There were a ton of eye watering moments, in the best ways. It was a beautiful story that was sadly dismantled by the unnecessary brother sister relationship.

A fitting end to this duet.
The trauma that both of these two broken souls have endured is heartbreaking. The pain and suffering you can feel coming through the writing, makes your heart hurt for these characters.
Amira was incredibly strong and it was hard to watch what she was going through. Roman was so patient and wanted to do what he could to help. A really well written story that wasn't just of pain, but also a story of healing and what you try and do for the ones you love

What a finish. But what a rocky road to get it! This duet was so emotional. Amira was such a Broken butterfly, but Romans love was enough to save her. Not my usual spicy read, but a nice change.

this conclusion to Roman and Amira's story had endless impactful quotes that I want to get tattooed on my soul. it was every bit as beautiful in a completely different way than book one. i'm still struggling to find the words, people. this story means so much to me.
book one gripped me for dear fucking life and did not let me go, but book two held me close, kept me safe, solidified once and for all that there is salvation after the pain of being thrown to the wolves. but don't get me wrong, it was uncomfortable as all hell.
in Salvation, we've "moved on" from the hell hole of book one, but those demons live on in us emotionally/mentally. Mariah's able to illustrate the struggles of loving someone as they wrestle with severe damage and PTSD.
this series as a whole is a heavy read in the most compelling, cathartic way. it put my heart through the fucking ringer. i don't say that to discourage anyone, but readers should be mindful of the content. i will forever be in awe of Mariah's ability to really, truly throw you into her characters' minds and bodies. it's so deeply uncomfortable, and it's amazing. whether or not readers can relate to any aspect of Mariah's story, it fucking grips you.
sure, there's some complaints as to plot or pace, however i think that because this part of the series is very much character driven, the story in Salvation is on par for how these things play out in real life. like, hello, she's so damn traumatized. she just spent three years in HELL. they're not ready to jump into "normal" so, what did you expect!!! and as a survivor myself, this is literally how it goes in real life. sorry not sorry. leave Mariah alone <3
anways. i feel like Mariah wrote a beautiful story that will live on in my heart and mind for years to come.
seriously, a cobra and butterfly tattoo is on the to do list. this story means way too much.
thank you again for baring your soul and sharing this wonderful series with us, Mariah.
**(Okay, so there's some typos here and there in the books. if you feel the need to take a star off for that, okay. but i am overlooking it because no book has ever had me as strung out and in fight or flight mode as these ones did lol. i ate it up.)

**(Okay, so there's some typos here and there in the books. if you feel the need to take a star off for that, okay. but i am overlooking it because no book has ever had me as strung out and in fight or flight mode as these ones did lol. i ate it up.)

“We have scars we can’t see, but fuck, they burn don’t they? They haunt our dreams, even when our eyes are open and fill our heads with monstrous whispers. Our lives are not our own, and the image we see in the mirror isn’t ours either. It’s them. They’ve hollowed us out and created shells.”
C.A. Mariah, I seriously can’t with you right now. You gutted me sis. You woke me up in Hunted and you bled me dry in Salvation. What a beautiful, heartbreaking piece of art you have created.
These characters? Shit…I am seriously crying right now. I don’t even know where to start. I just know I feel like I need to speak to Amira and Roman personally, so here goes nothing:
Amira, girl, you are one of the strongest heroines I have ever had the pleasure of reading and I just need to thank you for being a champion in your own life. You taught me that trauma doesn’t just end when the pain and abuse finally stop, but that trauma can haunt like a ghost, sucking the life out of a body long after the dangers have subsided. Know that I cried for you and I cheered for you; for YOU are strong, YOU are resilient, YOU are brave, and YOU fucking SURVIVED!! I am so PROUD of you babe!
Roman. People tend to put so much concern on the sick, and rightly so, but in doing so, they also tend to forget the devastation to the partner holding all the pieces together. Know that I see you, and that I thank you for supporting our girl. Your patience, strength, and resilience did not go unnoticed and you were the perfect hero to our heroine. I absolutely adore you. You stole my heart in Hunted and you proved why in Salvation.
Gawd that is a beautiful word isn’t it? Salvation? “the deliverance of the soul from sin and its consequences” Amira, know that you did your own saving and Roman, know that you gave her the right tools to triumph.
Thank you C.A. Mariah for bringing to light a very real issue in our world today. I applaud you my friend. You are seriously going to change lives with this work and bring salvation to many.
For those who have personally lived the horrors like those of Amira and Roman, I cry for you and I am championing for you!! Love ❤️

”We have scars we can’t see, but fuck, they burn don’t they? They haunt our dreams, even when our eyes are open and fill our heads with monstrous whispers. Our lives are not our own, and the image we see in the mirror isn’t ours either. It’s them. They’ve hollowed us out and created shells.”
OMG! This story kept breaking my heart over and over again. It is filled with such raw and gritty emotions that it just twists your heart into knots, keeping you crying uncontrollably and continually gasping for breath. And all the pain, anger and hurt throughout had me clutching my heart hoping that when I turned the page things were going to brighten up. It was one hell of an emotional rollercoaster ride that ripped my heart to shreds.
Amira and Roman continue to take us readers on a heartbreaking journey of gut-wrenching heartache, healing and finally finding happiness. Their’s is not an easy journey as the road to healing and recovery is very twisty and the unexpected always seems to happen.
The demons that sit on Amira’s shoulders are constantly pulling her towards the darkness, not letting her breath or live. The daily battles that she must fight within herself are filled with such utter darkness that most would succumb to it. But Amira is fierce and determined to survive. With Roman by her side these two can battle her darkness together. They both poured their hearts and souls out to us in every chapter making them come to life on the pages. Their pain, anger, passion and love oozed off the pages and had us readers feeling each and every emotion as if it was our own.
”But where the drowsiness and aches can be washed away by piercing warmth, the memories stay. They burrow in the grooves of your bones and suck the nutrients from your blood like a fucking leech. Memories at some point stop being thoughts and become one with your DNA, and as much as I’d like, I can’t just rinse that away.”
This phenomenal author weaved a poignantly beautiful story that will forever have a place in my heart and soul.
Brilliantly written, emotionally gripping and one of my top reads for this year!

How to move on, how to erase your past and lock your demons away forever... When you live drowning inside an endless abyss, looking for air... Where demons are always behind you making you face- them and let them out to play and feed them their fear...
Shouldn't it be like this right, when I saw my past burn and finally go free?!
It was in these words that Amira tried to hold on when she let her hell burn to the ground to move on with the boy who stole her heart... But what should have been a salvation became a nightmare worse every day, trapped by the demons of the past she he finds himself on the verge of going mad, struggling every day to hide all his pain from Roman, causing their relationship to be constantly regressing.
Roman on the other hand tries his best to give Amira the space she needs while respecting her limits every time they try to move forward, but is getting eaten alive when her attempts start to go downhill.
Secrets come to the surface causing an upheaval between them, opening badly healed scars, putting his feelings at risk... Willing to try to give the closure Amira needs, he has been turning to the one place they never wanted to be... to finally make it your happily ever after.
Salvation is an amazing story, raw, sensitive, disturbing minds, pain, broken hearts, redemption, with wonderful characters that won my heart... Definitely an emotional closure for Roman and Amira and everyone who followed their story..
Thank you my love for sharing your story with me, it was absolutely emotional from the first chapter, it's a painful closure, most amazingly well written. You are very talented and I never doubted that since I saw your ad about Hunted I knew you were special.. Never doubt that, never let the bad days overshadow your shine, never stop believing in yourself even if others make you worse, I can't wait for everyone to read Salvation and see your beautiful heart poured out into this story.
Love you !!

Salvation is a story to remember for a lifetime; it's a freaking masterpiece for real! Roman and Amira, these two lost souls who have only ever wanted the happily ever after that they deserve endure so much, they've had to fight for every little piece of heaven and freedom.
Trauma, it can completely break you and it almost did break Amira. The whole book we see her suffocating and trying to find her way to the surface, but struggling for air. She desperately wants to give and show the love she feels for Roman but it's hard for her with her past that still haunts her every second, it had my heart clenching like crazy.
Roman, gosh this beautiful broken boy. He loves Amira, his Angel, more than life itself and all he wants is for her to feel free while battling his own demons at the same time. Him needing her love, affection and touch to help survive the pain had me truly shattered.
Them breaking down honestly broke me too. The heartache and agony they've been through is absolutely soul shattering but also their love is so strong and beautiful, which had me full on sobbing.
This book will break you word by word but also heal you in ways than you can't even imagine. I was literally crying nonstop so many times, the rawness of every single moment, gosh you never forget that feeling. I honestly can't express enough my love for Salvation and its characters, including Ash who has even bigger part in the story which I loved.
This book really is about healing and finding the path to happiness while trying to catch that butterfly!
"I soak up this sudden neediness and store it behind my heart. Who knows when I’ll get a chance to just hold her again."
*I received this ARC from the author but the thoughts are completely my own.*

Oh man, Salvation was a roller coaster, in the best way possible, though!
This book broke me and then put me together, but left some holes.
Amira and Roman were everything – the twists and turns that life threw at them was crazy and shocking. Normally, I can guess what’s going to happen, but that wasn’t the case for Salvation. It kept me on my toes and I was a-okay with it!
The bond that these two have is unbreakable. No matter what happens, they’re always going to find their way back to each other.
There’s a bit of taboo in Salvation, so if you’re not down for that kind of thing, you may want to skip the Without You series. The taboo aspects of this book… well, I was 100% down for them. It made my twisted and dark heart awaken a little.
While Amira and Roman were the main characters of this story, I couldn’t help but become attached to the side character Ash. He was so interesting and I wanted to know more about him. I’d be completely thrilled if he received his own standalone book. I’m so curious about his backstory – we get a little bit about him between Hunted and Salvation, but I’m a greedy person, and want all the details.
A lot of books you read and they just feel like books, but honestly… Salvation felt SO real. The characters weren’t just characters, they felt like people that I could know in real life. There was depth to them. They made you love them, made you hate them, made you feel devastated for them.
By the end of Salvation, I was so sad… I couldn’t believe this amazing series was ending. I don’t think I’ll ever feel complete after these books.

C.A Mariah has created something utterly spellbinding in this dark, deeply emotive conclusion to Amira & Roman's story. It will cut you open making you bleed through their pain, anguish and torment and pray for their salvation.
Amira's growth through this book is directly juxtaposed to her mental deterioration. Her torture didn't end the day her devil took his last breath, she's haunted by him. She manifests him, his physical touch, his commands, his voice still controls her every minute.
Roman shows a level of love and devotion for Amira you don't often see. They share this dark, twisted trauma that haunts them in different ways. Roman's mental anguish at being unable to help Amira is soul crushing, his heart bleeds for their happy ever after.
Roman is right where he wants to be, with who he wants to be but he's losing her to her as her mental state deteriorates. After almost losing her Roman sets in motion a plan that will either burry them beforenthei love has had a chance to grow or it will be their salvation.
This book is a journey, that is haunting, raw and deeply emotional. C A Mariah examines the resounding affects of abuse and how the mind processes and deals with trauma. How the people that survive are left to pick up the pieces and rebuild their lives or succumb to their own demons.
Amira and Roman traverse the pain together and it brings them to breaking point, will their love for one another be their salvation or their demise?

Salvation must be read after book one, Hunted. Again I’m left gasping and sweating at what’s next for Amira + Roman. I found myself stopping many, many, many times just trying to absorb the plot and take in the suffering. Please read with caution, these books are very dark, intense, and uncomfortable at times.
The plot of Salvation takes place a few months after Hunted. There’s deep wounds between Roman + Amira. They’re both trying to heal but two broken souls trying to heal one another is a challenge and, at times, seems impossible.
Roman the ever patient and unwavering man he is is right beside Amira. Amira’s haunting journey of healing is painful and frustrating. But one thing is clear, no matter what comes next, Roman + Amira will always stand together no matter how dark and scary the path may be.
For Roman’s patience, kindness, support, strength, selflessness, & love, he is officially inducted into the 𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝘽𝙤𝙮𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙃𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙁𝙖𝙢𝙚!
I’ve mentioned Ashton previously and he’s still our lovable support character. His story is starting to unravel and I can’t wait for it!
Typically I wouldn’t pickup books so heavy and dark-pitch black- but I was pleasantly surprised! My heart breaks for all the characters and the books left me sweating and in tears. Hunted & Salvation are one of my 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏!

amira and roman will be living in my head rent free for the foreseeable future. they are all i could think about since finishing this book.
i won’t say too much about this one because it’s the second book in a series. but what i will say is - wow, what a journey. both book 1 & 2 are such raw, emotional, powerful books. it leaves you wanting to devour every last page no matter how painful some parts are to read.
and amira and roman… they made me want to rip my hair out but in the same breath i wanted to scream and cry with them. they’ve both been through so much trauma and pain, yet are both so devoted to each other and determined to get their happily ever after. and i was rooting for them the whole way.
i will say this does have a trope 👀 i’m not usually into, BUT i could read any trope from CA Mariah and love it. she just has a way of writing things so beautifully and realistically. the way she wrote amira’s ptsd, and how her traumas came back to haunt her was amazingly done.
anyways, now that my babies amira and roman are living their best lives i will be manifesting a Sage and Ash book to be released in the near future because UUUHHMM I NEED ITT NOW.

They fought so hard. They gave everything they had in hopes to get away. It was a constant battle between them. They didn't know if they would make it or not. Amira having the worst of it. Plagued by visions and voices of those who hunted her. Telling her she is worthless. Roman trying to find a way to help her heal, help her move on. They both have to take steps to get closer to happiness but it's a journey of "will they make it?"
We see them go through so much pain, so much hurt, and so many emotions to try and find their freedom, their happiness.
It's a dark and taboo story that keeps you hooked from page one. Amiras growth shows that it's possible to survive the worst of the worst and that you're stronger than you think.

Heartbreaking and amazing
This story was so heartbreaking but filled with so much love. I'm so happy that Roman and Amira got their HEA (with a taboo twist). Great writing and a amazing story.
