Beautiful Bad by Annie Ward
4.0

*I was given an early copy by Bookish first.*

What a great thriller!
It took some time for me to get into it, but I ended up fascinated by it! I wasn't quite sure where the book might be headed (the first part felt to me like nothing the blurb said it was... Even with the start of a great first chapter) until about halfway through and I just flew through the last 180ish pages. Deals with some heavy material of PTSD.
Through the whole book, you feel so bad for Maddie for being so besotted with Ian and wanting to be with him..... When after their marriage, the PTSD took hold of Ian so much that he starts to really turn into this terrible person to Maddie and Charlie. I know that PTSD is a hard thing to deal with and it makes some of the scenes of the book hard to read.
