My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
Laces by
Tempi Lark is book one in the ‘Boys of Hawthorne Asylum’. The book focuses on
the characters Gambrielle and Laces (with some other characters; Reyes, Varla
and Thorne thrown into the mix). The book focuses on Gambrielle and what
happens to her when she tells the truth and isn’t believed as we follow her
journey when she is taken to the Hawthorne Asylum. Upon her entry, she is
thrust into Laces psychotic world, figuring out who he is, the power he wields
at Hawthorne Asylum and whether ultimately he can be trusted.
Laces is
definitely a bad boy. He is cocky, alpha and complex. It was interesting to see
his character develop the more he got to know Gambrielle and what makes her
tick, especially as she started to put cracks in his armour.
This is a
complex novel as we delve into Gambrielle and Laces characters and find out
more (not only about them), but the others that live at the asylum. We also see
into Gambrielle’s backstory which is troubling and heart-breaking, and which
ultimately shows her inner strength, especially due to where she ends up for
telling the truth. We also find out things about Laces which are eye opening.
This
first book is going to leave you with a lot of unanswered questions and a
stunning cliff-hanger. If you like slow burn, bully romances, then this is
going to be the one for you!
ARC received for a
fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊
