This book really is good. It has so many layers to it and it
will grab you right away and immediately capture you and pull you into the
story. This story is more than just a taboo
relationship between stepbrother and sister. There are some real issues going
on and the more you read in this book , you begin to see that everything isn’t rosy
and the author did a really terrific job making sure the reader sees this
without making everything overly glorified.
Oliver and Maya had their
lives change when their parents marry. Oliver did NOT like this and felt like
his life was going to change. He sees his pretty new little step sister and
wants her. He hates her YET he wants her. He fought his feelings hard and he
said some pretty hateful things to Maya to get her away from him. I don’t condone
what he did because he drove her mad with his behavior but Oliver’s behavior
seemed like he was bi-polar or on drugs but he was literally insane with his
wants/needs for Maya but he couldn’t really go for her because she was under 18
and he wanted her. Oliver comes off as a
selfish jerk, someone who is spoiled because he is too handsome for his own
good but deep down that isn’t the case. He is tormented because he is in love
with his step sister and he is afraid to act on that attraction.
Maya has been in love with Oliver since she
met him, to her he is handsome, sexy, full of danger (get the picture). Yet she
knows it’s wrong, even sick to have these feelings for him for her step
brother. She ends up talking to a friend about how bad she feels and the talk
goes toward an act of revenge—oh no when I read that, I knew that was wrong and
it would end up hurting her but too late. Maya is already on a path of self-destruction
and there is so much wrong here but I know both of them are in pain. My heart
cries out for them both. Maya is a sensitive, beautiful girl whose heart aches
for the love of one man but knows he is lost to her. She does things she knows
it wrong to keep the pain from driving her insane.
There are so many twists and turns in this
dark, seductive story with moments of highs and lows. There are times when the
MC are happy and there are times when they are crying ; there are times they
are running away from the pain and running to each other for comfort. I didn’t know
what was going to happen except I wanted them to find their HEA with each other
and quit running from the past and from each other and run to each other. There are some demons that they each have to
face to come out stronger than before but I have to say this is beautifully
written and even though at first I thought Oliver was a monster, he ended up
being Maya’s angel.
My rating: 4.6 stars ****
