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.

Excellent story, superb narration, brutal cliffy

This’ll be short and sweet because I need to get to the next book.
Check your triggers. This contains CNC so if that’s a problem, do not even consider this book. If you like CNC and a chase, this is your book!
The story is good…kind of a Cruel Intentions element mixed with CNC.
The narration is excellent! Teddy and Rose are rockstars. We don’t hear Jacob much in this book but we all know he’s a rockstar also.
This ends in a brutal cliffhanger which is why this review is done. I need to get to the next book! Ok bye!

Highly Recommend

I must say this type of dark fetish is not my cup of tea, HOWEVER, I gave it a chance (mostly because of Teddy Hamilton's performance, he is perfection😍) and I liked the story. Some parts may be uncomfortable but if you push through it makes sense of the characters and the story and the pay off it's worth it. Rose Dioro is new to me and did a great job. I loved Jacob Morgan's voice sprinkled in like little treats throughout. I definitely want to know what happens next. Warning: there is a doosey of a cliffhanger.

Completely unexpected

Went in blind as this author is new to me, I didn't know what to expect but it was such a good book, a bit dark and may be triggery for some people but still a very good, mouth opening, and WTF these main characters are out there kind of book. Narration also good. Cliff hanger at the end will for sure make you go to book 2 unless you totally hate the book, which I did not.

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. :)
