Summary

Shallow Hill is where souls suffer slow and miserable deaths.

When River McAllister escaped from Shallow Hill, she left her innocence behind—and some of her sanity. Now, she's rebuilding her life with her dream man, and life couldn't be better.

Ryan Fitzgerald is everything you'd want in a man. Attractive, rich, an aspiring lawyer, and would do anything to keep River. But that's not the only thing that attracts her. It's his attentiveness and possessiveness, but maybe not so much his temper.

When her relationship takes a dark turn, Ryan's estranged brother, Mako, is the only one who sees it. He knows exactly what Ryan is capable of, and it's not the first time he had to be a knight in shining armor.

River came from Shallow Hill, though. She's never needed saving before. What Mako doesn't see is that River is perfectly capable of taking care of herself.

The only one who should be scared is Ryan....

Oh wow this one was a lot. I really really enjoyed it. The strong FMC who survives despite the odds. The handsome knight in shining armor who stepped up for the woman he loves. The plot was fast paced and kept you needing to know more, needing to know what happens next.
The tough part was the content. It was a lot to take sometimes. There is a HEA but check your triggers before reading this one.
Jacob Morgan and Michelle Sparks make a divine duet!

Strong FMC!

This story has parts that are extremely upsetting, so check TW. But it was so intriguing. The plot had me hooked. But when I tell you, you will hate the villain in this story?!?!?! Ugh. Thinking about him still upsets me.

Rough story but not how you think

It is a MF book with a sprinkle of FF in the middle. If you’re a lunatic and a homophobe, this book isn’t for you. I don’t like seeing reviews that are like “OMG there is gay action in this book, ewww!” Or a variation of that. Stupid people.
Anyway. This is on the same line as other books from this author and equally as good. It actually shocked me about “Father dearest” (not a spoiler because you still need to read to know what I mean, there are multiple “Fathers” discussed in this book) and I’m don’t get shocked easily, able to guess the plot before hand usually.
Good read you dark romance reader. Every trigger warning you can think of!

Awesome read!

Jacob Morgan slayed the narration! Seriously impressive commitment! He gave each male character he voiced so much life!!! Bravo!!! I’m a fan now! Michelle Sparks is always a favourite! Great duet between these two and always appreciate a true duet!!!

The voice acting really was special in this story and that was certainly no easy task here. Definitely check your triggers!

And the Oscar goes to…

The story is very repetitive. We get it, you went through every trigger warning, you don't need to be saved and you are a brick wall. Fine. The female narrator read everything like it was so dark and serious. It was exhausting. Male narrator was top tier.

This was meh
