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. ​

Oh. My. God. The. Feels. (Yes, all those periods were necessary) This story will take you on a wild angst-y ride. It will take the classic bad boy trope and spin it on it's head - quite literally (if ya know, ya know what I just did there). Ryder and his butterfly are one the most beautiful couples I've ever read. Their path is difficult and has many bumps in the road, but their story will captivate you.

This is Dani René's first attempt at New Adult romance, and I have to say, it reads as if she's done this before. It's sweet and edgy all at once, and carries some great thought provoking messages about love.

My favourite part of this story is the idea of perception. When you love someone, truly love someone, you see them as a whole, and you put them on a pedestal; not because you celebrate how perfect they are, but because you acknowledge their flaws and their strength to wear them on their sleeve around you for only you to see. You celebrate their bravery. And then there's the perception of the onlooker - of the person who either doesn't understand what is transgressing between these two beings and opposes it with all  their might or completely understands and observes in awe at the beauty of it. Hence the title, Perfectly Flawed.

René truly demonstrates her skill as a writer to be fluent in multiple genres. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next!

This has got to be René's best work yet. Don't be fooled by the delicious cover; this book has depth, and deals with dark themes. She explored worlds she had yet to touch upon, pushing her limits further, while still keeping her signature story style.

Not only that, René also really pushed herself with the quality of the writing of this book. She paints vivid images with her words, and this is the clearest they've been. Dani is truly able to be consistent with the symbols, and metaphors she uses to throughout the novel without sounding repetitious. For example, the colour orange is significant in the novel, yet it's rarely stated that something is orange; it's the scent of citrus and orange blossoms, it's the fire in their eyes, it's the warmth they feel around each other, it's the memories of orange juice in the morning... It's the pluri-sensual experience of colour that really stuck out for me.

Dani René also presents to us beautifully broken characters. Scarred characters that find solace in each other. Callan and Madison sparking life into one another and lighting up the darkness in them. Seeing them evolve and heal is an incredible experience.

I was unable to put this book down. I may have snapped at my mom when she interrupted my reading... oops... sorry, not sorry... okay maybe a little, but it was justified. *shrugs*

I want to start off by saying that I love Dani’s writing and that she is one of my favourite authors. This book is unmistakably written in the signature Dani style that I love, but it lacked the element that makes me LOVE Dani books : pain. 

All my favourite books have something in common. They will make my heart ache. I will connect with the characters and their struggle, and I will fall for them. I’m not saying that there was zero struggle, but, I wasn’t able to connect with Levi and Kristyn. I needed more from them. 

However, that did not take away how beautiful Dani’s descriptive writing is. That is what her strength is, and it comes through in every one of her novels. She will paint vivid pictures for us readers. She is the artist behind the words that flow effortlessly. It also didn’t take away how SEXY this book was. Dani knows how to get our panties all in a bunch... and so does Levi *smirk*

Favourite Sins of Seven book yet! In this installment, Dani René brought in my favourite trope; mobs. Okay, it’s not front and center, but nevertheless it is there, and it works so well! 

In this book we follow Carrick, a character present in all the other previous books of the Sins of Seven, and with every one of those books, we fell slightly for him. In Indulge, we would feel our heart slip into his hands with every turn of the page. He is an strong alpha male character, but he doesn’t come off as overly harsh or mean, he has a softness to him that we find ourselves craving. He makes us swoon like no other Sins man.

Peyton is my absolute favourite female in this series thus far. She’s got sass, a smart mouth, and she is a complete fish out of water. What is beautiful to read, is how she finds herself. How she becomes what she was meant to be. How she becomes who she was meant to be all along. 

For some reason, Carrick and Peyton’s story is one that captivated me. It wasn’t too over the top or taboo, but it was reading a classic (of dark romance). A book with which you just snuggle on the couch with a cup of tea and indulge in - see what I did there? 

So basically, loved it!

Dani René has this knack for just writing beautiful stories one after another. Beautiful stories are like orchids. Hard to grow, but so fulfilling once blossoming. She is one talented author, and I’m so happy to have discovered her. ​
