Reviews

RECLAIMED is both a kiss and a slap. There is all this sweet romantic tenderness mixed with addiction and ricocheting tragedy. It's a book that explores numerous relationships--both romantic and familial--and does them so deftly that it's almost impossible to believe this is from a debut author. It's that good.

And the writing. It's really lovely with atmospheric metaphors and accessibly lyrical phrasing. It's beautiful to read the way Sarah Guillory crafts her sentences. But more than the writing, it's the relationships between the three protagonists that makes RECLAIMED resonate so strongly. They are messy and reckless and mingled with often thoughtless decisions. It's also painfully real and honest. Jenna, Luke, and Ian feel as real as any character I've ever read.

RECLAIMED is truly a bittersweet story with completely engrossing characters, a twisty heartbreaking romance, and an ending that left me choked up and smiling...and ready to let this book reclaim me all over again.
