Can You Keep A Secret

I recently finished reading Flock by Kate Stewart. This is book #1 in the Ravenhood series.

POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT

  Rating: 4.25/5 stars

"⁣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."

The story is captivating. If you know me, you know I will always recommend going into a book completely blind. I don’t want to say any specific details about the plot. I just want to say that it’s very cryptic. It’s the kind of plot that keeps you wondering what the hell is going on

Kate has a way of making you feel all different kinds of emotions. I read to feel something…to feel everything because feeling so deeply makes me feel so alive and I crave it more and more everyday. The fact that simple words written on paper have the ability to do that!?

Cecelia Horner: I absolutely adore cecelia. I love her heart. I do feel that she had some flaws, but that’s what makes her character development throughout the trilogy. We start by seeing Cecelia at age 19 and then see her at age 26 and let me tell guys…her story is definitely one you want to read about!

Dominic King: This man could break me in half and I’d ask him to do it again. There’s always something about a fictional man who is an absolute asshole to the FMC, but then turns soft for her later on that will always win me over. He just has that toe curling, thigh clenching, butterflies in the tummy, swoon worthy effect that every romance girly needs to read about immediately. This man is french and he’s a reader. Even though this man is an asshole to Cecelia…he still does gentleman things like open the car door for her.

Sean Boberts: I definitely swooned over him initially, but then I just couldn’t stand him, as a love interest. He was boring. I mean some of the things he says are swoon worthy, but I don't know. He’s blonde- not my cup of tea. Also that nickname…I hate it.

There’s one side character that deserves to be mentioned and that’s Tyler. I heard he’s getting his own book and I simply cannot wait. I absolutely adore him.

The ending was so aahhh and I needed to start reading the second book immediately.

Check out Flock, and discover what happens when you're tasked with keeping a secret.

Happy Reading :)
