We drown the Light by H.R March is the first book I’ve read by this author and that’s because this is a debut novel. Once again, I found myself addicted to a dystopian world! A real page turning…nail biting world. And I was there for the whole thing… I loved it! This book as set my expectations of H.R Marsh very high and I have high expectations for the next book that’s published.

This story has a beginning, middle and end. No cliffhanger and answers that are amazingly discovered. There is so much that this book has to offer the reader… action, adventure, mystery and a character that has vengeance on the mind. I loved how I could picture myself in this book, the descions, the hesitations; I could see me making those choices. The relatability in this book was 100% the best part. I really liked the character Lark and the ordeals that she overcomes. The risk; reward is amazing!!! It’s a dark romance that has such a good ending. ⚠️⚠️ Check Trigger Warnings!! ⚠️⚠️ It’s always good being prepared for what you’re about to read. You should really check this book out! You won’t regret it!!!

Final review:

4.5 stars out of 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.✨

Dystopian/cult romance is not really my vibe, but this was 🔥 Main characters were so relatable and the story was so realistic, it will give you Hand Maid’s Tale type heebie jeebies. I was hooked from the first paragraph.

FMC is a badass who doesn’t make dumb decisions that make you hate her or think she’s stupid. She does make a naive one, but the author sets up the dilemma well, making it 100% relatable. I will say that she was somewhat timid around the MMC at times which was a little off-putting, but they still butt-heads enough for the reader to feel confident that the FMC is NOT a doormat and takes no shit.

MMC is a badass and regular-ass dude at the same time, and I AM HERE FOR IT. He’s still “alpha” (doy, this is a romance) but he’s not over the top at all. You get insight into the softer side of him as he deals with the moral and ethical implications of his actions and their consequences.

There’s blood, death, destruction, revenge and vengeance, slow-burn, betrayal, angst, spice, and a HEA to boot.

Spice: 4/5 it was good and the slow-burn made it so satisfying.
