Still Beating by Jennifer Hartmann B0ok Review

Book Synopsis: WARNING: This book contains subject matter that may be sensitive for some readers. There is dark and triggering content between these pages. 18+ only. Please read responsibly.

When Cora attends her sister’s birthday party, she expects at most a hangover or a walk of shame. She doesn’t anticipate a stolen wallet, leaving her stranded and dependent on Dean—her arch nemesis and ultimate thorn in her side.

And she really doesn’t anticipate waking up in shackles in a madman’s basement.

To make matters worse, Dean shares the space in his own set of chains.

After fifteen years of teasing, insults, and practical jokes, the ultimate joke seems to be on them. The two people who always thought they’d end up killing each other must now work together if they want to survive.

But Cora and Dean have no idea their abductor has a plan for them. A plan that will alter the course of their relationship, blur the line between hate and love, and shackle them together with far more than just chains.

💭 Review: “I went into this book thinking it was a thriller only for it to become a dark romance at hour 5 with 8 hours left 🤣 For some reason this was recommended a lot on booktok from thriller accounts and being someone who doesn’t like to read the synopsis of a book or listen to one before I dive in this was all my fault that I didn’t enjoy this book.

If I had read the synopsis I more than likely would not have read this book. Don’t get me wrong though for a thriller lover, the first 4-5 hours of this book was decent! But after that, it just wasn’t for me.

I do not enjoy enemies to lovers AT ALL and this book is basically all about that. There were many many times I physically gagged (fake one of course) at how cringey some of the storyline was.

I’m just not a romance girly especially when it feels so unrealistic at times. But, if you are a romance girly and enjoy enemies to lovers and the “you’re mine” type of dialogue, you’re gonna LOVE this book!”
