This was a tough read. Iris and August meet in a bar on the night before he plays in the NCAA championships. There‘s a spark but she has a bf, Caleb who also is playing the next day on the opposite team. Iris stays with Caleb and we follow her descent into hell as she gets babytrapped, financially, emotionally, and physically abused. She manages to escape, heal herself and makes her way back to August. Kennedy is a great writer who can go 👇🏼
I finished THE GOLDEN RAVEN tonight and I have MANY EMOTIONS about Jean‘s healing journey and also how great it is when there‘s a bit with a dog.
Now begins the wait for the next book.
Nora Sakavic‘s new book dropped the very day I stopped regularly checking for it! Good thing Kobo sends out reminders when they know you‘re waiting on series additions.
Now I know what I‘m doing with the rest of my reading month. I bought THE GOLDEN RAVEN as soon as I got the email this morning, formally bailed on the poorly-written Shakespearean fantasy I tried last night, and dove in at lunch.
It was interesting to get into the heads of the young female competitive boxers featured in this novel. I liked how the author conveyed the intensity of the moment while also shifting to times in the girls' pasts and futures.
