Autor: Dorian De LaRue

Idioma: Ingles

Sinopsis:

Beneath the glass towers of New York, a woman learns that innocence is not lost in a single moment. It fades quietly, choice by choice, until the mirror no longer tells the truth.

Catherine Sinclair has always followed the rules. She was raised to please, to obey, to hide the pieces of herself that didn’t fit the life she was promised. But one stolen glance changes everything. What begins as curiosity becomes temptation, and what feels like love begins to taste like ruin.

Fabian Laurent is the man she should never want. Brilliant, untouchable, already taken. Yet he sees through her composure, and in that gaze she finds the part of herself she thought she had buried. Together, they ignite something neither can control.

As secrets spread through the upper tiers of power and privilege, Catherine’s perfect world begins to crumble. Every truth uncovered demands another lie, and soon she must decide whether she is willing to destroy her old life to live the one she truly wants.

Set against the glitter and corruption of Manhattan’s elite, The First Ashes of Innocence is a darkly seductive story about forbidden desire, the decay of morality, and the moment love becomes indistinguishable from sin.

 

Debo reconocer que me lleve una grata sorpresa con este libro. La historia presenta diferentes puntos de vista, por lo que al principio me costó un poco adentrarme en ella, pero una vez que comencé no pude parar.

Destaco especialmente a los siguientes personajes: Catherine Sinclear, una joven en apariencia ingenua que esconde un secreto y una fijación casi obsesiva por Fabian Laurent, un hombre de negocios vulnerable tras una encrucijada personal. También esta Damien Mercer, el prometido de Catherine, un hombre posesivo y controlador que hará lo que sea por mantenerla su lado.

La trama mezcla a la perfección  el thriller psicológico con el romance oscuro. Una vez que te sumerges en la lectura, te atrapa con  giros inesperados que te sorprenden por completo.

Si buscan una historia donde nadie es lo que parece y que te mantenga en vilo hasta el final, esta es una buena elección.

 

 

Puntos: 4,5/5 🌟

 

 

"The woman in the glass looked back with hunger in her eyes. A slow smile touched her lips. She wanted more. And she would never pretend otherwise again."

 

"Love was a weapon. And she was done being the one who bled."

 

"…truth never dies. It waits patiently in the shadows, haunting. Ready to hunt the predator who never realized they had always been the prey. Even the faintest whisper of a lie can summon truths that should have stayed buried forever."
