Evelyn Beaumont:
I hide a terrible
secret, one I have hidden from the people I love the most, from the people that
love me the most. For the longest time I have hidden behind my shame, silenced
by an elemental fear and depravity. I am bound by silence to protect them, to hide
what I really am. In truth I can never let my family know what darkness haunts
me, I am the key to destroying my family. And I would rather die than allow
that.
WARNING: This book
is about the survival of severe domestic abuse, it’s not pretty, and it is fear
at a level most of us cannot comprehend; women endure this life on a daily
basis, this is Eve’s story. Contains severe domestic abuse, violence and strong
language.
Can be read as a
stand alone.
*~* Review *~*
You fucking gutted me! You ripped my chest open and
shredded my heart. I balled my fucking eyes out. I have been dying to read a heart
wrenching ugly cry book and many have fallen short. But this fucking book! Gah,
THIS BOOK!!!! Ada, you fucking nailed it!!!! I could not tear myself away from
this one.
Evelyn Beaumont is a 24 year old woman who tries to live
her life as normal looking from the outside but she hides the truth from
everyone. She lives her life in fear. She has spent years getting abused
physically, mentally and emotionally. My heart broke for Evelyn. She is put
through some horrendous abuse at the hands of a man that is supposed to love
her.
Her boyfriend, Elliot, is such a disgusting fucker. He is very
manipulative and controlling. There are some scenes which may be hard to get
through for some. I know I had to take a breather at times because I was crying
so hard, sobbing and my vision was tear-blurred. I took a deep breath and dived
right back in.
”I
walked in the front door humming “we are young” and froze. The blood drained
from my face, my heart froze mid-beat, and my ears buzzed as the blood whooshed
away. Elliott sat at the dining table, staring at me with a serpent’s grin,
ready to strike any moment.”
This book was so emotionally draining. Ada brings us
such an emotional heart touching story. The story line was fantastic, very well
written, and draws you in from the very beginning. The characters are very well
developed and I loved each of them. Evelyn has a loving family, her parents are
so loving and caring, her sisters are absolutely adorable and loveable, and her
best friends are amazing. I absolutely love how her friend Johan is flirty,
funny, caring, loving and such a great support for Evelyn. And then we have her
best friend since she was five years old, Dominic. Oh Dominic! He is the
brother of her boyfriend Elliot, but she has been secretly in love with him
since she first laid eyes on him. He is so caring, loving, funny, sexy, smart,
patient and a really great guy.
“There’s
sunshine outside of the dark scary cave, Eve, you just have to believe and take
that step.”
This is a definite MUST read. Make sure to have your
tissues handy. It is definitely worth it!!!
