They say the best kept secrets are hidden in the darkest places. I know that better than anybody… Because I’m one of them. I spend my days locked in a black-market nightmare, held captive by a twisted mastermind who considers me his prized possession. My only form of human contact are the victims in the next room, each of whom disappears faster than the last. Everyone leaves…except me. Then I hear him—Isaac. Brash, elusive, and haunted, he isn’t anyone’s idea of a hero. Separated by a wall, our faces hidden, his voice cuts through the darkness, becoming my only hope. He’s driven by vengeance, bearing scars as dark as my own. Despite his rough edges, a fragile bond forms between us—a lifeline. Isaac might be my best chance of escape, but time is slipping away. Breaking free will mean outrunning both our pasts, and in this twisted game, the cost of freedom may be more than we can afford to pay. Appearances deceive. Choices have consequences. And some consequences? They are irreversible.

The minute I saw a post about Irreversible, I was like I am ready for this. Tears included.
Love is blind with a twist.
Everly has been kidnapped and locked in a cell for a long time hearing people in the next cell come and disappear.
Isaac is looking for the mastermind to figure out what happened to one of the women who was kidnapped years ago. Bad choices lead him to being kidnapped and finding himself in a cell next to Everly. It’s traumatic.
The grump that is Isaac is not a people person, let’s put this out there. There was the moment in the book I didn’t know if I wanted to laugh or cry because Isaac’s sarcasm is on another plain, considering what’s going on. Everly was persistent, I’ll give her that. She was patient with this man.
This is where the authors thrive when they puts us in the middle of danger and change our lives together with the characters. Ma’am who puts a plot twist mid book? The growth of the characters. Loved it.
Irreversible is an angsty, romantic suspense, dark romance.
”The living room hums with the soft rhythm of our tear-filled laughter, echoing with the same lightness that filled those carefree days. Our favorite song weaves through the air like a thread connecting us to the moment—then and now—reminding me that even the hardest struggles can lead to something beautiful.
Not all walls are unbreakable.
Not all walls are forever.
Some just need a little time to crumble and a little hope to tear them down.”
Quick note: this review WILL include spoilers but I will NOT be spoiling anything before I include a spoiler warning. The safety info is at the very bottom of the review and it will be spoilers, but I can’t give good safety info without spoiling. I will include vague safety info without spoilers for those who do not want them.
It’s been about 2 or 3 years since I’ve cracked opened a Jennifer Hartmann book, so I decided to dive into this one without thinking much of it.
Everly has been captivity for two years now when Isaac (Nick) enters the picture. Isaac is abducted while undercover, trying to find the missing pieces to his sister’s disappearance. Isaac and Everly open up to each other, although Isaac is harboring secrets that he doesn’t tell Everly until the last 30% of the book
