Apathy by L.K. Reid

 

These characters started whispering in my ear around January, and at the time, this story had a completely different plot.

But I let it cook for a bit.

And then Skylar started shouting, but she told me different things. Painful things. Things I, at first, didn’t really want to write. Not because they weren’t good, but because they were too real and were hitting too close to home.

While Ophelia represented my anger, Skylar showed all my broken pieces.

I always loved the occult, and when the idea about The Order started meshing with the messed-up life Skylar had, all the missing pieces clicked together, and I wrote it.

And for the first time since I started this journey, I really wrote for myself.

This book also has situations, scenes and conversations that happened to me when I was a teenager. And before you start worrying about my childhood and the way I grew up; I feel like I need to say that those parts of my life that sneaked into this story were not just the bad ones.

I do feel like I need to warn you about the contents of this book. This is in no way sweet romance. Some of the situations are painful to read. You will read about drug use, about mental and physical abuse, about messed up kids and parents who should’ve cared more. You will also find scenes that might be too gruesome for some, and if any of the above-mentioned things are not okay with you, then this definitely isn’t a book for you.

I also have a small favor to ask.

Please don’t leave spoilers, and once you get to the end of the book, you will understand why.

And most of all, thank you for reading and for joining me on this crazy journey.

If you liked the book, please consider leaving a review. It would truly mean a lot to me.
