Book Review: Ring Around the Rosie

 

Ashes, ashes we all fall down

ASTER
Sabbath Creed had an intensity that always enthralled me, yet I never would have fathomed his love could warp my own sanity into madness, setting ablaze everything I loved until nothing was left but ashes and agony.
I’ve always been drawn to fire, the way it consumes, transforms, and purifies. But I never expected it to devour my world, leaving nothing behind but ashes and heartbreak.
From that moment on, I chose to escape my fate, to escape him.
I could always feel his presence, lingering like smoke in the air. It was only a matter of time before he would find me. His love, twisted and charred by the flames of his obsession, burned endlessly for me. He would never let me go, not after what happened.
I thought working at Camp Redwood would hide me from his gaze, but it only pushed me into the spotlight with its own dark secrets. He was here, and I needed to make the ultimate allow his love to consume me or extinguish its flames. Forever.

SABBATH
She thinks she can escape me, but she'll never understand. I’m not just a part of her past; I’m a part of her. She might try to extinguish the flames, but I'll never let her. I will make her mine again—no matter the cost. My little spitfire.


This is a dark romance. Please check triggers prior to reading.



My Review
Sabbath is obsessed with Aster. She can't escape him no matter how many miles she puts between them. He will always find her. 

Did I hate Sabbath...no. Should I have hated him...maybe. Was I falling for him...yes. The further I got into the story and got to know Sabbath; I realized that he really was not a bad guy after all. He just did bad things. 

"Give me all your darkness."

I really digged the "campy, slasher vibes" that this book was giving me. I am a sucker for slasher, horror books. Yet, there was more to this book then just an "unhinged" MMC, stalking his prey. Nope, there was another mystery woven into the story. One that I admit did not see coming. 

I was intrigued by this other mystery element of the story. In fact, it leveled up the story for me.  Another great read by C. Herbert.
