Red Thorns

A Dark New Adult Romance

De: Rina Kent

Narrado por: Teddy Hamilton, Rose Dioro, Jacob Morgan

A bet turned into a disaster.

Sebastian Weaver is the star quarterback and the college’s heartthrob.
Rich. Handsome. Bastard. Everyone’s attention flocked toward him, and all the girls dreamed of being with him.

Not me. At least, not until he made a move on me. See, I thought I was stronger than Sebastian’s charms. I thought I could survive being his target. I thought wrong. Little did I know that he will make my most twisted fantasies come true. Fantasies I didn’t know existed...

Red Thorns is a dark new adult book that contains dubious situations some listeners might find offensive and/or triggering. Red Thorns is part of a duet and is not stand-alone.

One of Rina’s bests!

This book was so intense and very hard to read at times, but it was also one of Rina’s best works. She did warn us that there could be some triggers, so beware going into this, especially if you have had some experiences with bad relationships.

Rina is the queen of dark, complex stories. There hasn’t been one book that she has written that I have not listen to audiobook. Her stories are so intriguing and they just draw you in so deep. You even think about the stories long after you’re done reading them.

The story is told in a three person POV, Sebastian, Naomi, and Akira. Naomi lives with her mother who is a seamstress for an elaborate fashion business. Sebastian is the quarterback at the college they both attend, and then there’s Akira who is Naomi‘s pen pal.

I won’t go into much detail because I don’t want to ruin the story, but all I can say is that the relationship that Naomi and Sebastian have with each other is very toxic. Still, even in their twisted way they care about each other deeply.

As with all of Rina’s books, there is a huge cliffhanger. This is why I won’t start her books until the series is finished. This way, I go right into the next book. 🤪

Couldn't stop listening;)

This book was amazing. As always Rina never disappoints. Teddy was amazing. I can never get enough of that voice. :)

This was AMAZING!

I loved this story and I am always down for some primal play and dub-con!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌 I was weary of this duet because I didn't love Lies & Truths, but this is phenomenal! And the narration is perfection! I'm off to start Black Thorns because HOW DO YOU END A BOOK LIKE THAT, RINA?!?!?!

This was a dark story. I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy it at first. But I was quickly pulled in and had to see what happened next. If you’re looking for hearts and flowers this is not the book for you. But if you want something gritty and raw…dig in. I can’t wait to see what book 2 brings!

Cliffhanger!

While this book had much darker subject matter than I was expecting I still enjoyed the overall story. There are a lot of unanswered questions that I hope get resolved in the second book.
