Echoes of Silence by Indie Black | Book Review

Feb. 25, 2022

This is a review that should have been posted last week but the hospital stay made this late. So I need to first apologize to Indie Black as well as Wildfire Marketing Solutions. With that said this book blew me away.

Echoes of Silence by Indie Black | Book ReviewEchoes of Silence by Indie Black
Genres: Dark Romance

A dull-eyed girl, broken and alone,
living in a world drenched in violence.
Her story begins with bloodline sins,
and no one to save her from the echoes of silence.

Wren
I haven’t spoken in four years. Not a scream, not a cry, not a whimper. I learned a long time ago—the punishment for speaking out against my tormentors isn’t a price I’m willing to pay.
Not again.

Forged in darkness and controlled in silence, I was caged for other’s twisted perversions. It wasn’t until four dark knights swooped in and sliced through the ropes binding me that I was finally free. They were supposed to be my saviors, but I was wrong. So. Incredibly. Wrong. The men who purchased me from my father are monsters—worse than those who haunt the shadows of my past.

At first, they whispered sweet promises of freedom, but now they say I’m theirs to keep. To own. I’m nothing more than a prisoner once again. Only this time, I might not need saving. Especially when their brand of darkness soothes the shattered pieces of my poisoned soul, and sets my desire for vengeance ablaze.

*Echoes of Silence is a DARK contemporary retelling of The Ugly Duckling, and 1 of 14 novels releasing in the Twisted Tales collection. It's a depraved, gritty, and raw romance that contains scenes that may be triggering to some. The FMC is beautifully broken, yet undeniably fierce. Her dark knights are depraved and possessive, delighting in pushing her past her breaking point. This novel comes with massive triggers, so please heed the warning. Beware, it does end in a cliffhanger.

Amazon


I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

This book was so good from beginning to end, even with the story being so raw and just so brutal at times. Wren is rescued by four friends who pay for and take in abused women. After everything she has been through, getting her beyond that abuse isn’t easy.

Kodiak, Havoc, Hush, and Nix understand just how difficult it will be to help Wren not only trust them, but anyone again. They each bring something different to the story, as well as to Wren herself. 

The subject matter for this story is heavy, and although it is dark, there are some funny moments thanks to Havoc. I mean, who would have thought a guy named Havoc could be so funny? I think those moments with him, I think, are what made the book enjoyable. 

If it had just been the dark and heavy moments that make up a good portion of the book, I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much as I did.

    Sounds like a good read. However, I am not a fan of cliffhangers if I have to wait for a book. I tend to forget the ending to start the new book! lol

    That’s great it had some moments of humor to break up all the darkness! You need that, in books, and life.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars A bookstore owner stalks an author. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars

A bookstore owner stalks an author.

The author threatens to call the police.

Then actually does.

Somehow this turns into a romance and I loved every minute of it. 😂

Jasmine and River were chaotic, stubborn, funny, and completely perfect together. Their banter carried this entire book for me.

Also, River trusting Jasmine when everyone else was questioning her? That man knew exactly who she was.

I loved how Liza and Cassian slowly became part of each other's everyday lives before romance really took center stage. They were so comfortable together and completely made me smile.

And Alaric's formal complaint? I laughed so hard I nearly spit out my drink. 😂

I cannot wait for the next trip back to Blackthorn Bay!

Bridger was the Rogue Pack wolf I most wanted to k Bridger was the Rogue Pack wolf I most wanted to know more about, and his story absolutely delivered. We've seen glimpses of him throughout the series—always keeping his distance while still showing up when it mattered most. Finally learning the truth behind his past and the loss he carries was heartbreaking.

Kit was not at all who I expected for Bridger, but she ended up being exactly what he needed. Their story felt a little different from the other books in the series, focusing more on healing, guilt, and emotional growth than outside conflict. I actually loved that change of pace.

The Rogue Pack's matchmaking antics had me shaking my head and laughing at the same time, and as always, the pack dynamics were one of my favorite parts of the book.

A sweet, emotional paranormal romance filled with heart, healing, and one grumpy wolf who finally gets the happiness he deserves. 🐺
