Rory
The story centers on Ripley, a young woman with extraordinary magic, trapped in a tower by her controlling mother. Forced to endure painful blood-draining rituals to suppress her powers, she begins to sense a strange lilac energy hidden within her. When a stranger named Fletcher unexpectedly intrudes into her isolated world, Ripley’s protective instincts are awakened, along with a deep desire to uncover the truth about her past. Defying her mother’s oppressive control, she frees Fletcher and ventures into the outside world, beginning a journey of self-discovery and rebellion.
The narrative masterfully explores themes of control, curiosity, and the struggle for freedom. Ripley’s thirst for knowledge and independence clashes with her mother’s fear-driven authority, while Fletcher’s arrival and the mysteries of the outside world challenge everything Ripley thought she knew. This sets the stage for an emotional and gripping tale of self-discovery, defiance, and confronting the unknown.
I was completely unprepared for the twist ending—it hit hard, and I found myself sobbing at my desk. For a moment, I debated whether to continue with the series, but the hope for redemption for some characters has drawn me back. I’ve already started Body of Echoes, and I can’t wait to see where the story goes next.
Nicolette, we need to have words, I still can’t get over Cuddles and everything he did.
