I knew this book was dark, but the level of dark this was? I was still unprepared. 

”some would call me broken, but I’ve never known anything other than the comfort of my pieces.”

This book was heartbreaking, in a very real & raw way. Jescie doesn’t shy away from breaking down barriers dealing with religion and the horrors that happen in real life. Religious trauma is at the forefront so you can only imagine what is discussed within this story. It’s brutal. 

”I didn’t want to be loved anymore. I wanted to be loathed.”

Aero. Aero. Aero. 🧎🏽‍♀️😮‍💨🤤

What a man. Unhinged in all the best ways (red flags flashing in neon lights) but like a moth to a flame, I’m on my knees. 

Aero cracked Briony’s perfect shell of a life and showed her the horrifying truth of the world around her. The character growth was stunning. My favorite part was watching both Aero and Bri trusting each other to take back what was taken from them. 

“you, aero are the throat from which I’ve been allowed to scream, but I’m the eyes through which you’ll finally realize your worth.”

Chaotic thoughts for a wild ride of a book. There are so many quotes that resonated with me so maybe I’ll add more to these thoughts later.

***Check trigger warnings. Proceed with caution.

I could’ve gone without so many pop culture references, but the ending really had me on THE EDGE!

An enjoyable story with important topics at the forefront, I look forward to how the series continues.
challenging dark mysterious tense fast-paced

VR technology that allows you to be inside the head of a wild animal?? How crazy/insane/cool would that be?!? 

I know every pet owner has wondered what their pet is thinking or feeling at one time or another, & this book’s premise gives us a snippet of what such a thing would look like. 

A fascinating novella that may not appeal to all readers, but it worked for me.
