Can you keep a secret?
I grew up sick.
Let me clarify.
I grew up believing that real love stories include a martyr or demand great sacrifice to be worthy.
Because of that, I believed it, because I made myself believe it, and I bred the most masochistic of romantic hearts, which resulted in my illness.
When I lived this story, my own twisted fairy tale, it was unbeknownst to me at the time because I was young and naïve. I gave into temptation and fed the beating beast, which grew thirstier with every slash, every strike, every blow.
Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets.
Secrets that cost us everything to keep.
That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to.
Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence due to my illness.And all were punished.
I pulled an all-nighter reading Flock and my mind is reeling. I really wasn’t sure what to expect from the plot because the synopsis is frustratingly ambiguous. Now that I’m familiar with this very original story, I’m still trying to process what I read.
The book takes the reader on a wild journey that is told from the perspective of Cecilia, a 19-year-old who has temporarily moved in with her estranged father. Finding herself in a mysterious new town, she seizes the opportunity to step outside her comfort zone, take new chances, and face her fears.
Cecilia’s rebelliousness helps fuel this exhilarating tale that is filled with a dark air of suspense and intrigue. The tension between each and every character is pulled taut. At times it feels like a train wreck waiting to happen, but I could not tear my eyes away from the pages.
Hold onto your panties, ladies! Flock is sinfully hot. The sexy/suspenseful combination reminds me of the Kate Stewart of old, back when she was writing erotic books as Angelica Chase.
This unconventional story constantly kept me on my toes, which makes me one happy reader. There are many things that remain unclear and the ending is a real cliffhanger. I have absolutely no idea where the plot is headed, but I’m excited to see how things unfold in the conclusion.

I think I’m going to wait until the sequel is released with that cliffhanger. I don’t want to be left waiting. Great review!
