I f•••••• loved this book.

At this point, I think H.D. Carlton might actually be my favourite author. There’s just something about the way she writes dark, f•••••-up stories that completely pulls me in.

Shallow River was brutal, disturbing, heartbreaking and somehow still incredibly addictive. River’s story broke my heart, but watching everything unfold and seeing her find her strength again was so satisfying.

The darkness, the characters, the twists, the revenge… I was invested in ALL of it. And somehow H.D. Carlton manages to make me emotionally attached while simultaneously making me question why the hell I enjoy reading the things I do. 😂

Absolutely loved this one.
