Untethered by M. JamesonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Dark and taboo and it is definitely an interesting read.
Beware of triggers as this book is not for the faint of heart.
This book had the feel of a bully romance at the start with the strong taboo of stepsiblings thrown in. The MCs had good tension between them, but don't expect a roses and moonlight romance. The mystery surrounding Flynn our main male character will pull you in. Isa is a brat (imho) but a good counterpoint for Flynn's darkness. This book shows us that hate is not the opposite of love - the two are more closely linked than we think.
The book has lots of varied smutty scenes and as noted some can be triggering. I do think that it adds to the feel of the book and is part of the character development but this book will not be for all. There is a time jump in the book that I feel was a bit jarring - perhaps a lead in and out may have worked better. And although the stepsibling taboo was front and centre at the start, the resolution or coming out to friends and family did not seem to elicit the same intensity of negativity as I would have expected.
A great read if this is your type of genre - but not so if you don't read dark with an open mind delinked from reality.
