Title :
Everything I Left Unsaid by M. O’Keefe
Series :
Everything I Left Unsaid #1
Blurb :
Perfect for fans of Jodi Ellen Malpas, K. Bromberg, and Joanna Wylde, readers will be unable to resist this haunting, deeply intimate tale of a woman’s journey to freedom and love. I didn’t think answering someone else’s cellphone would change my life. But the stranger with the low, deep voice on the other end of the line tempted me, awakened my body, set me on fire. He was looking for someone else. Instead he found me. And I found a hot, secret world where I felt alive for the first time. His name was Dylan, and, strangely, he made me feel safe. Desired. Compelled. Every dark thing he asked me to do, I did. Without question. I longed to meet him, but we were both keeping secrets. And mine were dangerous. If I took the first step, if I got closer to Dylan—emotionally, physically—then I wouldn’t be hiding anymore. I would be exposed, with nothing left to surrender but the truth. And my truth could hurt us both.
Review :
“Everything I Left Unsaid” by Molly O’Keefe left me speechless.
I am always careful when reading the Blurb of a new novel, especially when the Blurb mentions something like “Fans of ‘(insert author name)’ will love this book”. I can only advise (in general) to never have to high expectations when this line mentions one or like in case of this book directly 2!!! of your favorite authors. I learned the hard way that you will probably be on your way to a huge disappointment when you choose a book just based on that line.
So I choose to read this book based on the storyline not the author recommendation. BUT now, that I finished this book I am so happy to be able to tell you THIS BOOK is I an exception to that rule. I am a huge Fan of K. Brombergs “driven” series and I just love Jodi Ellen Malpas books and I could find many of the elements that made those books special to me inside of “Everything I Left Unsaid”.
But still this is book is a totally unique story. Even if the storyline might suggest that you have read books like that before believe me when I say “YOU HAVE NOT” … Molly O’Keefe has a unique way of presenting this story to you. Her writing is compelling and beautiful. This is my first book from this author and I am hooked and I can absolutely not wait to get the second book of this series because I NEED to know how it continues.
I noticed 3 kinds of reactions from myself that are good indications to judge if I am “all in” when it comes to a book.
-I often laugh kind of loud and start commenting on lines (in public places not caring if somebody hears me). This one is quite common and I did it with this book several times
-My heart starts beating fast, no matter if the reason is fear or excitement … but this is a rare thing and a very good sign if it happens … and it happened twice in that book
-And third – I cry … well I did not yet .. but twice I was very close and I am absolutely sure by the way the first book ended that I will cry when I start the second one… OH wait … I did cry in the first one … out of frustration because I want the second one – like NOW (#laughing)
This book kept me up last night until I only had 3 hours to sleep before getting back to work. I could not stop.
I liked both characters, they were both equally weak and strong, funny and sad, mysterious and obvious and all of it at the same time. The way the author told the story from both sides was intriguing. Especially the way Dylan’s side was described stood in an interesting contrast to what happened at the same time with Annie. Their dialogues with each other were mind-blowing.
The setting was described perfectly so the reader could totally relate to the leading and secondary characters and their surroundings. I absolutely loved everything about this book (except the ending and the fact that I have to wait for the next one -#laughing)
I need “The Truth About Him” … like NOW
