TITLE: Waterfall Effect AUTHOR: K.K. Allen GENRE: Contemporary Romance
RELEASE DATE: February 28th, 2018
Lost in the shadows of a tragedy that stripped Aurora June of everything she once loved, she’s back in the small town of Balsam Grove, North Carolina, ready to face all she’s kept locked away for seven years. Or so she thinks.
As one of the victims of a string of mysterious disappearances in the small, picturesque Appalachian Mountain town, darkness has become her home—her safe blanket when the world reveals its true colors. But as the walls of darkness start to move in on her, she knows the only way to free herself from her past is to face it, head-on. She just needs to figure out how.
Upon arrival, Aurora isn’t expecting her first collision to be with the boy she left all those years ago. The boy who betrayed her trust with no regrets. The boy who is no longer a boy, but a man with the same stormy eyes that swept her into his current before she ever learned to swim.
She’d thought he was safe. He’d thought their path was mapped out. Turns out neither of them was ready for the crash at the bottom of the cascade.
⭐️ 5 "Waterfall Eyes" Stars ⭐️
K.K. Allen completely mesmerized me with this phenomenal story. Waterfall Effect is an emotional second chance romance where the passion and intrigue kept me riveted to my book all read long.
“To have truth, one must find courage to seek light in the darkness.”
With the Appalachian Mountains as a backdrop, this story describes beauty, the blossoming of first love and second chance in a spectacular way. I really loved the main couple so much. It’s clear from their first meeting after six years apart that Aurora and Jaxon have unresolved feelings for each other. Seriously, every scene with these two is charged with an intense magnetism, but also sadness and hurt.
“You are a gift, the most beautiful gift in this cruel fucking world.”
Aurora and Jaxon have a lot of heartbreak to surpass to trust each other with their hearts again. The past is still foggy for Aurora, as she tries to remember the events that took place years ago and started the collapse of their relationship.
The balance between romance and intrigue is absolutely amazing.
There’s sweetness, heartbreak, love, heat, suspense and all the in between. As the romance rekindles between Aurora and Jax, the level of suspicious events is growing and growing. The last few chapters, everything unfolds in a maelstrom of revelations that had me transfixed.
“I was chained in darkness, starved from the truth, gutted and heartbroken by events I never quite understood, and robbed of a future for too damn long. But not anymore.”
K.K. Allen proved once again with this magnificent romantic suspense her immense talent. The writing style, but also the emotions delivered through her words are sublime. If you haven’t read her books yet, she’s a must read author and this Waterfall Effect is so far her best work in my opinion.
