Burn with Me

Gods of Hazelwood: Icarus, Book 1

By: Lucy Smoke

Narrated by: Liam DiCosimo, Avery Caris

The plan was simple: Destroy the girl. Ruin her life. Make her and her mother leave.

Only…she’s not as easy a target as I thought she’d be.

She’s nothing but a pawn, a tool for my father to use against her mother.

But pawns don’t fight back the way she does. They don’t violate my sanity the way she does.

She put herself in the mouth of the beast.

I wanted her out of the way, but now…I can’t let her go.

This myth of Icarus retelling contains the following tropes and content warnings: college and mafia settings; stepbrother relationship; enemies-to-lovers; forbidden romance; mention of previous sexual assault, depictions of bullying, parental neglect/abuse, violence, murder, and human trafficking; depictions of consensual non-consent and pushing of boundaries. Discretion is advised.

Lucy one of my favorite Dark queens does it again!

My only wish for this book from the narrative standpoint is that it was done via duet. Lucy Smoke crushed it again! I literally squealed when Avalon and Dean made an appearance. I love Rori's character and definitely need more of her story. Please take trigger warnings seriously especially if you are reading a Lucy Smoke book. For dark romance readers I highly recommend.

Crazy!

This book is so much crazier than I expected. I am really shocked at how this plays out. I can't wait to keep going and see how this ends. Crazy twists. please read the triggers.

Burn with Me~ Gods of Hazelwood~Icarus Book 1

"Playing with fire will only burn you in the end"

Burn with me follows Rory(FMC) and Isaac(MMC) and begins with their parents getting married. Isaac is forced to keep an eye on his step sister, and as their hatred for one another grows, temptation is not far behind. Rory and Isaac go down a rabbit hole, trying to figure out the "why" behind their parents' sudden marriage. This book was spicy, dark, and
forbidden. With every twist and turn, it kept me on my toes and wanting more. I can't wait to read book 2 🖤

Clever and highly enjoyable

I am a Lucy Smoke fan. I love that she did an Icarus retelling?? Who comes up with that?? I love it. And I love Lucy's dark mind and the way she creates these enemies to lovers stories that aren't boring and always have secrets that uncover so well.

voices

I think all voices that should be female, be spoken by female, and same for male. when the male (female) "repeats" what the female (male) says, it doesn't go with the flow of the story
