PLEASE NOTE: POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD
I cannot stress this enough: Red Hands is for 18+ readers. Please check the TWs/CWs before reading.
I just want to note quickly that Red Hands is written in British English – some things I had to read twice to understand as I’m a lowly American, but this didn’t detract from my experience or the enjoyability.
Lyric is the daughter of a well-known politician and, more importantly, an incredible pianist. She is also plagued with terrifying delusions that bring her to a murder scene every month on the 15th. Do you think she did it? Because she claims a dead man is the murderer…
Treyton is the son of a renowned police officer, a star basketball player, and an arsonist. He swiftly becomes enraptured by Lyric, despite his best friend warning against her. We follow both Lyric and Treyton (Dual POV) through their highs and lows, culminating in them falling in love.
I was on the edge of my seat the entire time reading Red Hands! I will say there were points where I wish I got more information (specifically about the cult and secret society), but I’m hoping that more will be revealed through the series which is projected to be four books. I absolutely do not condone Treyton’s actions most of the time, but there’s just something about a “tough her and perish” morally grey MMC that gets me. I’m also not a huge fan of college romance usually, but I love that the typical drama of college isn’t at the forefront of Red Hands. There is a HEA, but it appears to be pending what happens in the books to come.
I’m very excited to see where this goes next!
