Flock The Ravenhood #1

Kate Stewart2020
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 naïve. I gave into temptation and fed the beating beast, which grew thirstier with every slash, every strike, every blow.⁣ ⁣ Triple Falls wasn’t 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.⁣ ⁣ That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to.⁣ ⁣ Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence due to my illness.⁣ ⁣ And all were punished. This trilogy is a gritty, modern day take on Robin Hood. It’s an unconventional love story—bad boys/antiheroes—filled with suspense, steam, major twists, a little action, and ALL OF THE FEELS.

This book has quite a lot of smut but overall the story was okay.

I got bored I was halfway into Chapter 14 but I got so bored... I couldn't finish. Maybe it's just not my cup of coffee (cause I hate tea). I want to know why it got a lot of 5 but.. I can't. Ugh.

Honestly, I was hooked from the start. At no point in time did I know where this book was going, and the cliffhanger got me

This was good! I haven’t immediately started a second book in a series recently but the end of this one… you have to pick up the second one!

WOW. WOW. WOW. I don't even think I can write a normal review for this one. Because I’m simply at a loss for words. I went into this book completely blind. And I’m so glad that I did. This is my second book by Kate Stewart and it reminded me why I love her writing. It’s absolutely impeccable. Everything about this book was amazing. The relationship between Cecelia, Sean and Dominic was great and they had such a great dynamic. The emotions and feels this book gave me are just too much to describe. I also had the pleasure of listening to this on audio, Maxine Mitchell and Joe Arden did such a great job with this book. I don't want to, but I’ll be waiting very impatiently for the audio for book two. This is a must read/listen!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I received a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I liked it a lot actually, more than I was expecting. MC is pretty likable, although she makes some questionable choices. Has a decent amount of spice. The twist towards the end kind of got me though… now I don’t know how to feel!

The amount of TikTok’s I’ve seen where people are crying about a section of these books is alarming. I finished this book thinking wtf did I just read?!? The way the author wrote her character made me cringe. You’re telling me the the two guys treated her like complete shit and she romanticized it?! I get she’s 18 but no no no no. The plot is so stupid I was expecting them to turn into werewolves or maybe a raven idk what honestly because it was that much of a mindfck.

Well let me start by saying this book isn't for everyone and it's best read going in blind. I'm not a fan of Polyamorous relationships, I have nothing against them, but it just isn't something I enjoy to read about. Our Heroine, Cecelia is young, naive and with a lot of daddy issues. I didn't really care for the hero's but their history is interesting.

how do you rate a book when you don't even understand the book? I consider myself an intelligent person but am seriously questioning that given how much of this book I don't understand. reading through other reviews has me perplexed because apparently the end was some huge cliffhanger and I was just like "huh?" I really feel like I missed 10 chapters or something (seriously went back to make sure I hadn't) because I genuinely could not tell you what this book was about or anything that happened in it. absolutely nothing makes sense. might read the next book just to see if maybe things start making sense but not feeling great about it. float scene was hot though.

Goodreads said it's MFM/RH and I'm a big RH fan, so I was pretty hyped about it. I'm sorry to say that I pretty much had to force myself to read the first half of it. It's a very slow burn book, and the main male characters were so confusing and talking in riddles that I wasn't enjoying the book at all. (I read mostly before going to sleep, so imagine having to try and guess what they're saying while you're barely keeping your eyes open.) It was a struggle. Around 40% in it finally started picking up and I found myself enjoying it. I ordered the whole trilogy in paperback. Which I now wonder if it was a mistake, because I saw some reviews of people that loved the first book, but didn't like the second one, so if I didn't really love the first one, now, that I've finished it, will I even like the second one? Anyways, I liked 𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬 once I got into it, but as good as it was, I felt like something was missing for me to give it a higher rating. It as lots of fun, tho. I'm still recommending it tho. 🤷‍♀️

I know what I'm holding, I know her worth, he whispers, his words so intimate that for a second, I think I’ve imagined them.

With Sean, I feel safer; but when Dominic is around, I feel that every breath I take is laced with something hazardous. Yet with each inhale, he becomes more intoxicating.

My greatest hope is to be in all-consuming love. My biggest fear is to be in all-consuming love.

Taylor@taylors_pages

Most consider knowing all-consuming love a blessing, but I consider it a curse. A curse I'll never be able to lift. I'll never know love again as I did here all those years ago. And I don’t want to. I can't. I'm still sick with it.

The only love I’ve ever known or craved is the kind that keeps me sick, sick with longing, sick with lust, sick with need, sick with grief. The distorted kind that leaves scars and jaded hearts.

"Cecelia." I could live every day of my life listening to the curl of his faint accent around my name. I glance back and see the warning in his eyes. I spent half my shift being lectured to about tangling up with these men, and it did nothing but intensify my curiosity. "IIl say this once. It's not smart, you being here."

"When are you going to let me drive?" "Easy, never." "I will drive this car someday Dominic. Bet on it."

i can't explain the way this quote hurts after reading exodus

I didn’t heed a single warning. I went in a willing captive. I let love rule and ruin me. I played my part, eyes wide open, tempting fate until it delivered.

That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story because, by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me.

I can no longer disregard the greedy demand of the vessel beating in my chest or the nagging of my subconscious. I'll never be a woman capable of letting go, of leaving the past where it belongs, no matter how much I want to.

You expected me to show my Gemini side, but I'm a Virgo, remember? I had no chance against your imagination. This fight was inevitable. We both knew the minute I pissed you off; this would be your argument.

this is my husband and i 😂 he’s a virgo and stands no chance against my aries ferocity.
