ARC REVIEW - Edge of Unbroken (Halfway Broken #2)

ARC REVIEW - Edge of Unbroken (Halfway Broken Book 2) by J.V. Reese

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book follows Tiny Fractures and is just as emotional if not more so. I finished the book a couple days ago and have been trying to figure out the words for my review.

My heart went out to both Ran and Cat but also to the friend group. This book focused on the healing of past traumas as well as Ran and Cat finding their way back to each other. My heart broke for Ran and the last couple chapters were overwhelmingly emotional. Through the authors writing I felt the angst, heartache and every tear. I don’t think I’ve cried so much over a book. I fell in love with these characters in Tiny Fractures and loved them more in this one. Ran and Cat’s love story is one of my favorites and am hoping it will continue in a 3rd book. If you enjoy an emotional romance that clutches your heart then you should read this series. Just make sure you grab some tissues cause this one will shatter you.

The sequel not only builds on the foundation of Tiny Fractures but also delves deeper into themes of trauma, healing, and love. Readers have overwhelmingly praised J.V. Reese's ability to evoke powerful emotions through her characters’ experiences. The portrayal of the friend group adds layers of complexity to the narrative, reflecting real-life relationships and the support found within them. The narrative is enriched by the exploration of dark secrets and the protective instincts that arise within friendships and romantic relationships. It's a testament to the resilience of love and the healing power of connections when faced with adversity.

Edge of Unbroken is not only an emotional rollercoaster but also a poignant reminder of the importance of mental health awareness. The representation of healing from past trauma resonates with many readers, underscoring that vulnerability can lead to strength. The discussion around relationship dynamics, especially the friends-to-lovers trope, enhances its appeal, making it relatable to many. For those who enjoy deeply emotional stories with well-developed characters and intense arcs, adding Edge of Unbroken to your reading list is essential. Prepare yourself for a heartwarming yet heart-wrenching journey that will linger in your thoughts well after you turn the last page.

A content warning list for the book "Psychotic Obsession," detailing themes like stalking, murder, kidnapping, and non-consent, and clarifying it's a dark love story, not a romance, with no happy ending.

Psychotic Obsession by Leigh Rivers
5 STAR READ!!! I’m not sure if it’s my love for dark romance or the captivating storytelling of Leigh Rivers that draws me in—perhaps it’s a blend of both. She has a way of weaving her narratives that leaves me craving more. This tale begins on a relatively mild note, but about halfway through, eve
