So is there anything out there like this? Could either be sister, friend or cousin. I loved that the heroine became close to her murdered friends boyfriend and that it was slightly forbidden. I was absolutely drawn in with the murder mystery of this and I loved the whole town sweetheart with a dark secret, it sorta gave me Laura Palmer/Twin Peaks feel but without the supernatural element to it.

The second book was Aggro by Coralee June and Carrie Grey. I’ve also never read or come across a book that has a similar plot to this.

I loved the plot, writing style and most of all the relationship as it developed between the 2 main characters. This book was amazing and I can’t wait to reread it. The first is Still Beating by Jennifer Hartmann. Still Beating is not for everyone, but those who can read it should, and I thought it was an incredible story.So I kicked off the New Year by reading 2 books that have really stuck with me and I was wondering if anyone can recommend anything similar to them? It’s about overcoming severe trauma and being able to move on. At its core, this is a love story, but it is so much more than that. These characters are all very flawed, but as I said, I appreciated that. I liked that this book didn’t shy away from things, and it told the whole story, showing everything on the page., there is no sugar coating in this book. This is one you will want to check trigger warnings for before jumping in. I knew a bit of it, but I know how dark and emotional it is. I’ve seen this book all over social media, so I decided I needed to give it a try. Wow! Still Beating is not the romance book I am used to! You can read more on my disclosures page.
