5 can you keep a secret CROWNS
Having read this authorβs work before and knowing how wonderfully versatile she is when I comes to her writing, I wasnβt at all phased by the vague blurb for this duet. On the contrary, I was hugely intrigued and couldnβt wait to read what she had in store for us. Having read Flock, I realised that the first part of the story was just the tip of the iceberg and we really knew nothing of what was to come next. Exodus has everything and to say Iβm blown away is an understatement. Mind blown, more like, wrecked even, by this clever, multilayered, well thought out and brilliantly executed plot that kept me guessing from the start.
The first half of the book was sheer psychological perfection. Itβs mind bending, full of twists and turns which gave me a hugely frustrating feeling of being out of control. I still couldnβt decide if Cecelia was being manipulated and managed for reasons other than pure entertainment and if she was, why and for what purpose.
The second half of the story was sheer raw emotion, thatβs the only way I can describe it. I loved the intensity, the anguish and the drama. I loved Ceceliaβs stubbornness, her drive, the way she grew in strength and resilience. Through all the heartache, she developed a real sense of self and made peace with what she saw as her place and purpose in the world. Even though I wished more for her, I nevertheless admired her for it.
I love how unusual and complex this whole story is. Itβs unpredictable, unexpected and passionate, in more ways than one. As the tale began to unfold and secrets were revealed, I still had no idea how it all would end, if anyone would in fact get their happy ever after. They do say the best things in life donβt come easy and if thereβs one thing I realised about these characters, however, is that they certainly donβt give up easily and most definitely play to win!
ARC review
Can you live a lie?
Itβs a ghost town, this place that haunts me, the one that made me.
Itβs clear to me that Iβll never outgrow Triple Falls or outlive the time I spent here.
I can still feel them all, my boys of summer.
Even when Iβd sensed the danger, I gave in.
I didnβt heed a single warning. I let my sickness, my love, both rule and ruin me. I played my part, eyes wide open, tempting fate until it delivered.
There was never going to be an escape.
All of us are to blame for what happened. All of us serving our own sentences. We were careless and reckless, thinking our youth made us indestructible, exempt from our sins, and it cost us all.
Iβm done pretending I didnβt leave the largest part of me between these hills and valleys, between the sea of trees that hold my secrets.
Itβs the reason Iβm back. To make peace with my fate.
And if I canβt grieve enough to cure myself in my time here, Iβll remain sick. That will be my curse.
But itβs time to confess, to myself more so than any other, that Iβd hindered my chances because of the way I was built, and because of the men who built me.
At this point, I just want to make peace with who I am, no matter what ending I get.
Because I can no longer live a lie.

Blurb:
Can you keep a secret?I grew up sick.
Let me clarify.
I grew up believing that real love stories include a martyr or demand great sacrifice to be worthy.
Because of that, I believed it, because I made myself believe it, and I bred the most masochistic of romantic hearts, which resulted in my illness.
When I lived this story, my own twisted fairy tale, it was unbeknownst to me at the time because I was young and naΓ―ve. I gave into temptation and fed the beating beast, which grew thirstier with every slash, every strike, every blow.
Triple Falls wasnβt at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets.
Secrets that cost us everything to keep.
Thatβs the novelty of fiction versus reality. You canβt re-live your own love story, because by the time youβve realized youβre living it, itβs over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to.
Looking back, Iβm convinced I willed my story into existence due to my illness.
And all were punished.β£β£
