I’ve been reading Dani René books for years. Since she released Crave I’ve hung onto every word she has written. I’ve seen her develop and flourish as an author, but I’ve never read something like this. This was a whole new level. It’s like she broke through a wall everything came together in the most beautiful way.

There is a newfound pace, peace and maturity to René’s writing in A Cut So Deep. She doesn’t shy away from difficult subject matter and forces you be confronted with it. The words will cut you deep – yes I did just write that cause I’m a dork, but its true. She shows impressive command of the story and her characters, Damien and Nesrin bloom in their environment. They ooze a richness and profoundness.

This new series she has created is promising to be an epic one and I cannot wait to see where she takes it in the next book!

I believe this is a new chapter in René’s writing, one I am happy to read every single page of with my heart skipping beats in my chest.

Everything you want from a Dark New Adult Romance! Steam - check. Violence - check. Emotions - check. More of the Guilded Sovereign - CHECK WITH A KISS ON TOP. Those boys are panty-dropping swoony and moody. Hello!

There were so many secrets and revelations. So many twists and demons lurking in the corners. Just when you think you know what’s coming... René throws all of that out of the window and shows you you had it wrong all along. *insert applause*

Etienne and Rukaiya have this insane chemistry that so undeniably believable. Their relationship is so tangible and real. I was impressed with René’s character development and her grasp on human complexity.

All in all, what a great continuation to the Guilded Sovereign series, and I cannot wait for the third installment!

I received an ARC of this book from the author and I voluntarily reviewed it. Thank you Dani René!

I absolutely loved this book. It wasn't overly dark, it was suspenseful, angsty and oh so delicious. I'd been waiting for Mason's story for so long having seen him appear in the previous Sins of Seven books, and his story was most definitely worth the wait.

Savannah and Mason and complex and original. There were plot twists I didn't see coming AT ALL, and I'm usually good at predicting them! I absolutely loved how captivating they are as a couple. You feel their connection jump off the pages. Truly electric. 

There is just so much to love about this book, the broken-ness (yes I just invented a word) of Mason, the complex past of both the characters, as well as their present and future. It is such a layered story. The plot is expertly crafted and keeps you reeling until the very end.

Lastly, Dani René's writing was beautiful in this story. I love the way she reinforces the theme and uses the same word to symbolise different things. It gives the book a certain unity and coherence I love to find. Definitely a must-read.

If you follow my reviews, you'll know that René is one of my go-to's. One of my staple authors. She writes sexy and captivating reads, time and time again. This one? Next. Fucking. Level. (Too bad I'll have to change that line for Amazon) You want suspense? You got it. You want drama? Check. You want angst? Check. You want darkness? Well, you've come to the right place. 

Not only is the story of the characters we follow dark, but it also shows glimpses of something beyond this book. And that's what grips you, really. The constant luring pulling you deeper and deeper into René's world. She is the master puppeteer and she holds all the strings to our hearts.

There A LOT of twists and turns in this story, and I don't want to ruin anything for anyone, so I'm gonna leave you with this... Not everything is as it seems. xx

Dani René has dived back into the darker side of her writing with this one. I say darker, but this is her darkest yet... and I absolutely loved it! It was raw, gritty, and intense! She managed to cram all of this high emotion into a novella. Quite a commendable feat!

I’m so happy with how René ended this novella. She brings you to the precipice and leaves you to fend for yourself against your own emotions and heart. It is glorious. She ramps it up at least 5 notches near the end. It’s riveting and addicting to read.

René’s writing is also improving. The style is becoming more pronounced and the flair is intensifying in a good way. I couldn’t help but highlight half the book for beautiful passages. Her literary language was on point for this one.

So basically, I think this story is one of Dani’s best, if not THE best. It’s dark, gritty, and intense. Utterly captivating. ​
