Love

The girl who isn’t who she appears to be and the mean boy who sees her. I mean is there any better love story? Well kind of love story..... ok. It’s just a story, but it’s pretty good. This family loves with their whole being(and that’s a lot).
Nova struggles with common teenage angst, but also a little bit more and I really was along for the ride.
And then Valentine, and his issues. They could be a match made in heaven, but it’s probably forged in hell.

Angsty YA and so much emotions

This is such a heavy and relatable book like it's done so beautifully dealing with some heavy issues many young adult might face. The emotional aspect is balanced with hot

This is one of my favourite books of the year just because it pulls my heartstrings so hard that I needed to take a break at times and also shared some tears which for me it’s a huge thing as I rarely cried for books.
Valentine is a dark soul, dominant and possessive, he has no limits in doing whatever it takes to get his way no matter who is hurt in the process.
Nova is a sweet girl inside but a brave one outside.She’s going through a lot as a young woman but she’s scared to ask for help.
The family bound it’s so strong and I loved to read about this next generation in Archer’s Creek.
I need to read the next book like right away because that cliffhanger left me speechless.
If you like your stories full of angst and love, this book it’s definitely for you.

As I began to read this book I thought it was headed one way but then it completely turned on how I thought it was going and I couldn’t get enough of it!!

I absolutely loved Nova as she was truly battling everything that so many girls go through in high school with being afraid to show any weaknesses. Yet at the same time she hated being seen as two different people and was afraid she would lose everything if people knew the other side of her. She was so vulnerable and I loved the bond between her and her brother Zeke. I also really liked her relationship with Emmy and how she finally opened up to her.

Valentine Miller was a mystery who seemed to have so much hatred inside of him for Nova and the way she lived her life. It was his goal to destroy her in a certain sense and gain power over her. I am curious to know more about his background as to why he is the way he is.

My heart broke for Nova as I watched her fake her way through it all and then watch as she protected those she loved by giving in to Valentine. He was definitely cold and ruthless.

There were a few altercations that I knew Valentine was behind and it was sad that Nova craved the silence that came with Valentine.

The end of the book left my jaw dropped to the ground and I was completely blown away by what happened. Yet the very end was even more shocking and I am left wondering what is going to happen!!

I need the next book!!!

Nova suffers from anxiety but pushes it away reminding herself that she’s not weak, she’s the daughter of a biker, she’s the princess of Doomsday Sinners MC, she’s not the girl who questions everything and hides away.
With her Auntie and Uncle getting a new foster kid, they all head over to meet them. Meeting Valentine, she never knew what her mum meant that she was drawn to her dad, but there’s something about Valentine, but she’s never met someone so crude to her, but he affects her.
Things continue to escalate with Valentine admitting that he hates that he wants her like she hates that she wants him. Valentine lets her know she defied him, so he took something from her, he says she’s cold and warm he wants to see the real her and he’s prepared to hurt everyone around her to do it.
Forced to give Valentine the kiss he demands, she’s angry but she’s never been kissed like he kisses her, she knows she could become addicted to him. Nova tries to convince herself that she’s only with him to save her friends and family from his threats. All she knows is the noise is quieter when she’s around Valentine, and she feels better. Will he realise what started out as a game, is starting to mean more or will he break her.
