![]() Each have so many stakes going for and against them that it's hard to tell where the next step of their relationship is going to lead. Jackson and Selena are quite the enigmatic couple and have their work seriously cut out for them- both as individuals and as a couple. It was fiery, it was explosive, but most of all it was riveting, unfiltered, and plagued with mystery and shattering suspense and revelations that threaten to tear everything apart. ![]() I always knew that there was something weighing on this couple but, man, was this story not what I expected at all! I just did not expect for things to go down the way it did whatsoever. Slammed was a whole lot of baffling for me. ![]() ![]() #Woah, talk about unexpected! Author Skyla Madi definitely set the tone for this dramatic spin off from the Consumed Series as she really threw me through quite a spin! ☆ I received an ARC via the author in exchange for an honest review. ![]()

Jake has been sexually abused by his father since early adolescence, and he fears the same fate may be awaiting his five-year-old kid brother, Ben. That it is exceptionally well-written and sensitive to its protagonist’s plight goes a long way to making it an endurable, challenging, and, because of such employed skill, ultimately gratifying read.
