Official Blurb:
Growing up the way I did, you’d think I’d be
more screwed up than what I actually am.
Soon as I turned sixteen, I left that bump in
the road I called home and took my chances on the street.
Best decision I ever made.
Now, at the age of twenty six, I’m educated,
employed and damn good at my job.
My friends have become my family. Like me, they
know what it’s like to grow up unloved.
But the saying is true.
The world makes way for those who know where they
are going.
That’s me.
I know where I’m going and I’ll get there
eventually. On my own terms and at my own pace.
But then there’s him.
I feel his eyes on me. I see him hiding in plain
sight. He watches me.
He makes me feel.
It’s unconventional.
But it’s real.
I’m sure you’re wondering how a person falls in
love with their stalker.
So am I.
This isn’t a story.
This is my life.
I don’t even know where to go with this review. This book
left me literally heartbroken like I’d lost a real life member of my family.
Raw honestly ruined me for reading for over 4 days now. When I even think about
picking up another book, my heart just literally aches. This is not even close
to a romantic story. Even the author stated that Twitch’s story is far from a
romantic romp, but a twisted and demented love gone wrong kind of read.
Belle Aurora is known for her romantic, hearts, and
butterfly kind of stories, but she has come completely out of left field on
Raw. This book is likely the darkest book I’ve ever read. 99% of the book you
get the feeling that maybe, just MAYBE, Twitch will be the bad boy turned
knight in white shining armor, but oh hell no. The last 1% of the book will
throw you into all 5 of the stages of grief in one single sentence. I honestly cannot even fully review the book
because readers need to experience the book for themselves. This is like a
literary thrill ride, death defying rollercoaster that’s teetered to come off
its track while you are going 180mph upside down and screaming.
For those of you that are curious by my review, I will just
say that Alexa and Twitch are literally ying and yang embodied in the literary
world. Their story is a honest look at how one instant in your life can give
you hope and despair all at the same time. The past and your experiences can
mold your future. The circumstances of your upbringing can always effect you
even if you’ve escaped to a better life, and eventually life does catch up to
you. Now… I’m going back to my book depression reading corner and cry some
more.
