Review: His Hollow Heart

His Hollow Heart His Hollow Heart by Rachel Leigh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Note: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Trigger warnings: alleged kidnapping, child abuse, emotional abuse, assault, night terrors, mental illness, 

Hot damn this book. It felt like Dexter had entered the building of this book. 

Freaky, mysterious and downright hot 🔥, I could not help but be drawn to this book even more. The cover had sold me on it, but the writing and intriguing clues left me like whoa...

Specially cause this antihero was so -vastly so- different to other antiheroes that I’d ever read that I was left actually shooketh. I mean yes he had a terrible past, (know that most of the trigger warnings apply to him) but my god the way he carried his scars was just freaky but honestly even somewhat twistedly commendable. And his kinks too especially, slithering and hissing to protect him and every scar he ever held (that should tell you about what kinks exactly he had) was downright fascinating. Despite his good years with the FMC, I guess he did embrace his villainous nature in the end. And I was so there for it. 

As for the FMC, well she was a pure forgetful thing eh, but strong and determined, and slightly crazy I’ll give her that. I mean the way she tried to escape our MC that I was like..damn girl I wouldn’t have been able to. Sure she had a normal life, but sometimes we all got that crazy something in our bones, in our souls and I don’t think she knew it but eventually embraced it. Even with her dubious 🔥 encounter with the MC, still she kept strong and didn’t give up. 

The side characters were charming as well - specially Peter, but not Byron - regardless, they were all pretty damn sweet and I wanted to be their best friend automatically. It was definitely platonic love at first sight.

As for the plot twist, well I was sure a goner for it - and him too. So that was something I didn’t expect but loved it anyway. 

Either way, I ended up loving the book, despite its woah what can’t be moments, the writing, romance and intriguingly twisted development of characters made it all worth it. 

So yeah loved it and can’t wait for more. Her broken pieces is coming February 24 2022, and I’m so here for it. 

Until the next read,

-TMR
