Tarnished

Tarnished

He was supposed to protect me. Instead, he made me fear the dark. He was supposed to love me. In the end, his love was sickening, cruel and filled with malice. Five years ago, the only bright lights in my world were extinguished. One decision. One text. One sentence and my fragile life shattered. I never expected the depravity and lies that greets me when I return to Montecito, leaving me with one goal... To flee and never look back. Everything changes when three gorgeous guys crash into my life. They're determined to mark me as theirs, and make me question everything I hold true. But when the ghosts of my past and future collide, who will be left standing? Me... or the monster who coveted me for all of the wrong reasons, turning me into what I am today... Tarnished. *Tarnished is the first book in the Tainted by Ruin Trilogy and cannot be read as a standalone. It is a Dark High School Reverse Harem Romance that contains scenes that may be triggering to some. Including: sexual assault (minor), physical abuse & self harm. Recommended for readers 18+.

This is my first story by both Black and Cousins and I can promise it will not be my last. I’m going to have to go gobble up the rest of their stories and hope they are as amazing as this one was. You know I never knew I wanted to read Dark Romance but hands down in my Top 10 for 2021! If you’re reading this book. I can’t say enough good about it. You just need to go grab it today and see for yourself. It takes place in high school, but I promise you will love this reverse harem! It’s Dark and Twisted. Usually, I pick a guy but in this, I’m stuck. I can’t choose. I mean, I’m loving them all. I mean, there is one I can live without, but that’s only because I think something is off about him. I can’t say enough about this outstanding book. Just grab it today and trust me, you won’t stop until you’ve read the last word.
