Review for Black by T.L. Smith: ★★★★★

Black by T.L. Smith

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


::..Reviewed for Red's Midnight Readers..::

I gave it 5 stars but would have given it more if I could.

This was one of those books I very nearly overlooked but one look at the blurb and I knew I just had to read it and I am so glad I did! I would have been missing out on so much.

It was a dark, fast paced, no holds barred kind of story that sucks you into the black from the beginning and doesn't let you go until you are begging for more.
Black is a dark and dangerous character who has been dealt a bad hand in life but as you learn more about him, you can't help but fall in love with him. Rose is broken when we first meet her but soon you discover his inner strength, that has you rooting for her, for Black!

I absolutely loved this book but it has left me with the biggest book hangover, a state many books have failed to do but Black did not let me down.

Be warned though! This book is not a fairy tale, it's not hearts and flowers. This book is raw and gritty and leaves you feeling exposed, with a cliffhanger that has you desperate for the next installment.

T.L. Smith was a new author for me but I think she has just become one of my favourites.

Blurb
I am loyal, but I will betray you.
I am strong, but I have scars.
I am an angel, but the devil.
I met her when I was sixteen, she was a breath of fresh air. She swooped in, making me smile. But then she left, taking my next breath with her.
Her smile could light up a room, making my black heart pitter patter.
I found her again ten years later, with a syringe in her arm. 
Blood coming from her legs.
She was broken and I was glad she was broken. She wouldn't think less of me and my damaged ways.
