There were sicknesses in this world even holy water couldn’t wash away.
Because what once enters Winworth, never leaves again.
I don’t even know where to start or what to say or how to write this review. I think my brain is still trying to process everything that I read. But, I also feel like this is a book that is best to pick up and just read and not read a thing about it before hand. When I signed up for it I knew that it was dark and I didn’t really remember reading the blurb to it either. So, I call that going in blind and man what a wild ride this on is. I will tell you that L. K Reid created a town and quiet frankly a little world that no one in their right mind would ever want to live in. To describe Winworth in one word….well it makes the word Madness come to mind first thing every time I’ve tried to think of a word for this fictional place. Its a creepy creepy town when the pretty faces hide the creepiest of monsters and you don’t know who to trust or talk to or even look at for that matter. This poor girl couldn’t escape this town is she did decide to turn tail and run. It’s twisted and dark. A town that is so full of secrets I do not see how it hasn’t imploded on itself before now. Skyler basically lives in a town that constantly smells of death and despair. A dark city that I’m not even sure how existed. Think the worst and then take it down about ten notches might get to to how this town is. Ugh I wish I had better words to describe it. You just have to read the book to get it described to you perfectly. I sure can not do it. However there is a new guy in town that had madness and death in his eyes so he fits in perfect right? But how do you love in a town like this or with the life that Skylar has? I have not a clue and I just read the book. I’m telling you this one is dark and gritty and full of secrets and murders and blood and lies and its just a sick world that you are going to get sucked into so hard you couldn’t leave if you wanted to. I know I’m not making much sense right now but I read it and I really liked it and I couldn’t put it down and I will even admit that I was reading in the dark and had to get up and turn the light back on. I swear I heard ever creek of this house, the crickets outside were a million times louder and don’t even get me started on the wind gust that sent my heart to my throat and made my fingers numb. What and reading experience this one was y’all.

I write dark romance, the characters that are depraved, lost, a little bit misunderstood and most of my books are touching subjects of mental health in one way or another.
While Ricochet is the first book I will release, I have actually been writing since Primary School, but that little thing called self-doubt always kept me away from truly pursuing my dreams.
Recently I realized that if I don’t chase my dreams, I will never do everything I want to do. Sixty years from now I would regret all the things I was too afraid to do, so I did it. I allowed myself to dream and put myself out there. I want to show you these worlds swirling inside my head and these characters whose stories have to be told.
I am a restless person. I can’t stay in the same place for a very long time so I like to move. I love to explore new places, meet new people, learn about new cultures, you know, the usual. My mom used to tell me that I live inside my head, and that’s true. I really do. While I do love being surrounded with other people I also love to be alone. I think that until we truly know ourselves and our thoughts we could never be truly happy.
Truth to be told, I am still figuring out this whole adult “thingy”, but I think that most of us are pretty much lost in that world. Slow walkers are the bane of my existence, and one of my biggest pet peeves is people not responding on their messages – it really drives me crazy.
I wanted to be an archeologist, but we can see that that definitely didn’t work out. My small obsession with Greek, Egyptian, Nordic and Slavic Mythology was one of the driving forces behind many stories I wrote as a teenager, and I am pretty sure that one day I will end up writing a book with those themes.
If I could I would set Halloween as a Public Holiday. Spooky season, Autumn, that’s my jam. Scary movies go hand-in-hand with that I would say, and my favorite ones are Halloween and Scream – all of them. Music was always a big part of my life as well, and I can’t imagine a day where I don’t listen to it for at least a little bit. Everything I ever wrote was done while listening to music, and if it wasn’t for music, I would most probably be completely lost.
