AUTHOR: Ella Fields

GENRE: Dark

PUBLICATION: November

Fresh out of college and headed straight for my dream job, I didn’t think things could get any better.
Then I met my dream man.

In an instant, my happy ever after had begun.
The life I’d stumbled into was beautiful, and the man I loved was perfect.
But perfection comes at a cost, and I’d slumbered through all the alarms.

Then I met my nightmare.
The man whose bright eyes held untamed darkness.
The man who disarmed me with his peculiar behavior.
The man whose cold, merciless hands shook me awake.
In an instant, questions started to dismantle my happy ever after.

But whoever said the truth would set you free was wrong.
It wasn’t going to repair the cracks in my naive heart.
It wasn’t going to caress my face with comforting hands and reassure me it was all just a dream.
No, the truth shoved me down a rabbit hole, and I landed in the lair of a real-life monster.

BLOODSTAINED BEAUTY

Let me start off by saying that to make this review as spoiler free as I possibly can but give you a wee taste of what's to come this review won't make a hell of a lot of sense to you.

Things were starting to take shape in twenty three year old Jemima’s life not long from graduating she’s moved out of home and has landed a job teaching first graders at Lilyglade Prep, in Glenning her small rural home town. That same day she meets a dashing handsome man, from one dinner to another they seemed to be moving at a steady pace. I'd dreamed of happily ever afters since I was a little girl.

Things are not all they seem, they start to unravel at an escalating pace, pieces to an unfinished puzzle start to take shape as we piece the puzzles together to get the whole picture. Suspenseful, twists and turns, nail biting gritty goodness that has you sitting on the edge of your seat.

Then there’s a child’s parent that takes an interest of sorts in Jemima, he’s a distinguished suit wearing handsome guy. She fascinated him, he intimidated her.

These two men are interwoven in some ways, one over steps the line, the other is a monster with a black heart until he meets Jemima, the girl who unraveled him. The monster and the little dove.

Being a huge fan of this authors and seeing the teasers and hints she was dropping about this book and out of the box to her other works there was no way I wasn’t going to try and get my hands on this book. This story is full of twists and turns. The plot is intricate. The storyline is engaging. The writing is flawless. The characters are connectable.

This was unexpected, we’re used to our sweet, simple, straight forward romances from Ella, but this here was anything but!!
It started off slow and sweet, I was in the zone and enjoying it, then wham 💥a twist in the plot comes out of nowhere and let me tell you, that twist is a whole new game changer, but that’s not all she had install for us noooooo Ella wasn’t finished playing with us. More twisty turns worse than a roller coaster was install for us!! And sitting back I’m wondering what in the ever loving hell did I just read. It ticked all my boxes!! It's gritty and dark enough but not too dark, the twists and turns have you on high alert, the romance even though you question Jemima and even yourself it's so so good and melts your heart you even start rooting for them. Loved Loved Loved this one!!
