ARC Review of Drawn 2 - Obsession (Aaron)
I received an ARC copy of Obsession in exchange for an honest review. I read redemption first and loved it check out my review of Redemption!! I loved Obsession but had to give it a 4.5 star rating rather that the 5 I gave redemption... simply for the fact that I'm team Damien.
So it amazes me how the little tweaks in the story completely altered the choices and decisions of the 3 characters. This is another testament to what a magnificent author Juliana is. I love her ability to pull you in. As I said before I'm team Damien and I loved the healing process he went through in Redemption and the factor of having a different support system in prison in Obsession altered everything for him. I found myself actually cringing because I love Damien and he just made the wrong choices that ultimately made him into the monster everyone thought he was.
I also felt Etta was much stronger in this version. Having the change in support from her mother and keeping contact with friends allowed her to heal from her toxic relationship and see it for what it really was.
Aaron!! Ok I'm team Damien but I have to say I was team Aaron by the time Damien got out of prison in this version. He did everything right and allowed Etta to heal before pushing for more than friendship. I just feel in love!!
So now I have whip lash from going back and forth. I think I'll choose to think of these two sequels as alternate universes so I can pretend both Aaron and Damien get their HEA.
Final thought on this. The ending was a shocker and I did shed a tear. But if you love Drawn you have to read both Redemption and Obsession. You will not be disappointed.
