But it didn't work for Ava. When her bondmate, Avery, has been murdered by the barbarian queen,and Ava’s soul has been torn in two, she is the only one who has ever been strong enough to cling to life. Having nothing left but the thirst to seek for revenge, Ava's plan is interrupted when she is captured by the evil queen's son and is forced to stay with him on an island, waiting for her death...
It's written in four POVs and you never get messed up. Every single character had layer after layers of secrets and all had a little something that made them special. So when McConaghy decided to put them all together and weave their paths in a uniquely complicated web, I was swept in from the first page and I couldn't let go until the end.
If I had to quote all the beautiful passages from Avery, I'd probably be quoting the whole book.
I absolutely loved it. I usually don't fall for books where authors just dump sad situations on me and ask me to cry like The Perks of Being a Wallflower, but this book was on a whole different level. I felt my heart race and shatter continuously as if McConaghy was like " Oh, so you thought that this was going to be your average romance novel didn't you? Well, let me prove to you otherwise."... and IT WORKED. I've read it two more times just to make sure that my brain wasn't playing tricks on me and every single time that I've read it, I just fell in love all over again.
Get this book now. You won't regret it.
