Review:
Thank you very much to the author for sending me this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book is very different from what I’m used to reading. It is definitely an adult romance novel, with some paranormal aspects to it.
The book starts out by introducing us to the main character: Celeste. She is trying to figure out who she is. She these terrifying nightmares and she needs to find out what they are all about. She goes to a party in search of a book, but instead she finds the handsome CEO of the company, Eric. After a night of passion, Celeste becomes pregnant and is kinda forced into marrying Eric. The rest of the book is her figuring out who she is, and how to deal with this new outlook on life.
I found it kinda weird that she slept with him after literally just meeting him. And then when she goes to tell him she’s pregnant, her parents come with her. The reasoning behind all of this is explained later, but at the beginning, I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it based on the first few chapters. It was a little unbelievable to me, especially that an adult would bring her parents to explain she’s pregnant, but I slowly became interested in Celeste and what was going to happen to her.
Also, again I want to stress that this is a book written for adults and there is a lot of mature content in this book. I would only recommend this book to those of you who enjoy reading adult paranormal romance novels.
Happy reading!
