Review: Nightshade by Autumn Woods

Nightshade by Autumn Woods
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Everyone has been going gaga over this book so I decided to try it. The first part was rough to get through and I almost DNFd from almost stagnant story, i guess? But it did get better afterwards and I got very invested in the story, so I'm glad I stuck through the rough patch.

Ophelia is a badass character. She's been through so much and is still surviving each day she wakes up. The bit where she was literally so alone in the world around Christmas and having that loneliness bear down on her, causing so much grief? I felt that too my core and was just as devastated with her. I love that she is fighting. She wants revenge. Until she realizes how much her revenge would hurt the one person she's come to care about. 

Alex, Alex. I adored this man. What he is putting himself through to survive his father is intense. I love his adoration toward his 6 sisters and his mother. He is bending over backwards to care for all of them and that is the sweetest thing to see. Also his determination to be in Ophelia's life is amazing. 

The reveal of Ophelia's parents was greatest. I guessed that character so I wasnt too surprised. That characters ending have me more glee than it should have. And then the twist at the end was great. I'm very glad I have an arc is book 2 and am diving into it now because I need to know how this duet will end! Glad I decided to give this a chance.
