Omg!! This book has rocked me so hard!! When you read the blurb you think I know what this ones gonna be, but you don’t! You will “feel” this story. I can’t wait to read HE. If you are looking for a story that will keep you guessing what’s going to happen next on the edge of your seat with all the emotions you can think of. This is the story for you! Kailee’s version of dark & twisted is amazing!
Was gifted this book by my friend Mimiorphee !!!
Wowzies !! This was my first read by Kailee and it won’t be my last. Natalie and Joe broke my damn heart, especially Nat… I don’t even know what to really say. She has been through so damn much and it doesn’t look like it’s going to stop anytime soon. Joe oh Joe so loving my heart hurts for you too! I can’t say much more because I don’t want to give anything away but I hope like hell everyone gets what’s coming to them!!!! If you like dark and mind twisting this is the book for you. Mimiorphee thank you down the gift it messed my mind up and I love books like that. Kailee Samuels job well done !!!
I never know what to expect when I start a book by Kailee. You may think you know what happens but she takes you on such a ride that all you can do is hang on tight. Natalie and Joe’s characters were intense with so many twists and turns. I felt a lot of emotions and there were some quick breaths and flashback moments. Incredible author and her ability to weave these stories is amazing. I know the next book will be just as good.
Are you looking for a sweet cute little romance to red this weekend? Or maybe youre more in the mood for some second chance romance? Well, keep on looking. This isnt the one for you cause there is none of that in this book. This story is full of secrets, lies and a whole lotta angst. As an avid stalker of Kailee’s I can say that I have read all of her works and she never lets me down when I am looking for something so different that it wont let me put it down till I have read the last page.
‘She’ is everything I thought it would be and more. Kailee’s writing style draws you in and keeps you wanting more.
Good boy meets bad girl in disguise. Joe has never been late or missed a day at school and is just a few months from starting ow school. Natalie is a beautiful girl that catches his attention, and soon he finds out she has some secrets and a bad past.
What starts with a few words at a party soon turns into so much more. Their chemistry is electric, and their emotions are high.
There are several hardships they both must face together, and along the way show finds out that his life isn’t all that it seemed either.
I highly recommend this to ALL ROMANCE lovers with a warning there may be triggers.
First time I’ve read one of this author’s books. I was left confused and dazed at times as to what the hell was going on and second guessing which of these characters can actually be trusted. There are twists, turns and dips down a very bumpy 4WD track. You’ll be left not really knowing who is the navigator for this ride. I feel like I’ve gone hurtling down the road in a go cart with no brakes. I’m intrigued and want to pick up a copy of He to get straight back into the story.
It is a dark read and there are incest, paedophile and rape triggers.
Omigosh!! I’m speechless!!
Kailee Reese Samuels has a unique style of writing that will absolutely blow your mind! She will play with your emotions. Ripping out your heart and soul only to mend it and rip it out again. Unexpected twists and turns that will blindside you! Dark and twisted. Even some poetic words that will melt your heart. I believe that She is her best writing since Juliet and Son of Saint. Natalie is a fragmented and broken soul. Abused in ways that are unimaginable since childhood.
Joey has had his life mapped out since childhood. He has had his heart ripped out by Natalie but his unconditional love is the glue that binds them together.
Secrets are exposed and lies are revealed. Death and evil is always lurking on Joey’s doorstep.
If you love dark and twisted, then you will love She. There are some triggers. This is a duet so naturally there is a cliffhanger.
I highly recommend anything written by this author.
What a wild ride and read! Prepare to be shocked and totally immersed in this extremely intense first book of a duet … the storyline and characters will hook you instantly and you’ll find yourself unable to put this book down.
Looking forward to reading book 2 …thank you Kailee for writing such a unique and dark book/series!
This story, Kailee pulls all the emotions from you. Shock, Anger, Sadness, Total Hate, ect. But you will fall in love with it. Natalie and Joe’s story starts as all romance stories start, Boy sees girl, boy falls for girl, boy tries to win girl. That is were the romantic fantasy stops and goes on a world wind roller coaster twist of a ride in a different way. I can not wait to find out more in the 2nd book of the Duet “He” from Kailee.
~I’m always good enough for now, but I ache to be good enough forever.~
She is a victim
She is a survivor
She is here
She is lost
She is empty
She is complete
She is an addict
She is abstinent
This book drew me in from the beginning. The blurb is a little ambiguous and this story delves into some serious subjects. The events that happen are not detailed to the point that it is invasive or horrific, but the generalization could still be appalling to some. Ms. Samuels’ writing is idealistic and visionary, and it was refreshing to read her type of diction.
Natalie and Joe’s relationship is a tumultuous one. One of many bad choices that lead both into downward slope spiraling into a delusional abyss. This story is passionate, powerful, and profound.
As a reader I am always looking for that story that will drag every emotion from me and this book has it. I was fully and completely bulldozed by the by the author’s flair of prose. Kailee Reese Samuels has found a fan and a follower from me. I look forward to reading the next book in this duet as well as her other work.
4.5* Good Enough For Now
A-MAZ-ING!!!! Has all the feels. Just….. WOW!!
SHE – This book.. I barely have words for it. (And I mean that in the most amazing way possible!) This author can write anything and make you fall in love with the characters and story lines. This story will grip you and you’ll just keep wanting more! I am so ready for the second part of the duet I can’t stand it! FIVE MF STARS!
This book is a fantastic read by an amazing author. Kailee Reese Samuels has a unique writing style that truly captivates me and always leaves me wanting more. Natalie and Joe are interesting characters and their story took me on an emotional ride with twists and turns that pulled me in. Great story, well developed characters and what a cliffhanger! I can’t wait to read the next book in this duet and find out what happens next.
this story will blow you away. this is a pov story of her and him. this will take you on a long dark ride that will have you on a emotional ride that will blow you away. this is a dark read that is written to feel like you are right their and fighting the emotional that will have you on the edge of your seat
There are times as a reader that you cross paths with a book or story that changes the way you see things. How lucky you have been in the life you have and how things occur and happen in plain site. I have to honestly say that this is one of those books. It consumed me, evoked emotions that haven’t gone away. This thought provoking read has left me a mess, I am chilled to my core and at a complete loss for words or explanation.
Its so hard to say anything about this storyline, every explanation will be a spoiler. All I have is. Nothing is as it seems, expect the unexpected and heed the warnings. This book isn’t hearts and flowers, it definitely isn’t pretty. But what it is, is real, honest and someones truth.
This story will stay with me forever I feel and it just maybe one of the best books I have read. Don’t listen to the naysayers or just think its a simple book about an affair. Its far from that and I believe you should make up your own minds and take a leap into the unknown.
So many emotions ripped from me…some at the same time, gutting me, leaving me bare. This book is dark, raw, twisted and will leave you breathless. I couldn’t read fast enough. This story will rock you, shake you, break you and leave you open and vulnerable. Prepare yourself….Dark romance lovers, welcome.
Mind blowing and shocking must read. This was exceptionally written with major plot twists that I never could have imagined. The author pens in such vivid detail, that the reader is pulled down right into the pages. I can’t wait for the second part of the duet, He, so I can see how the story plays out.
“My actions do not have to make sense; love doesn’t make sense.”
Shocked, happy, scared, angry and heartbroken are a few emotions She, by Kailee Reese Samuels, pulled from me. I definitely needed tissues while reading Natalie and Joe’s story, and at the end a heavy drink and a smoke….I don’t even smoke!!
“If fate exists, then love blooms upon it like a growth, a mold, a toxin—those signals couldn’t be ignored. She was mine from her birth just as I was hers.”
This is the beautifully dark love story of Joe and Natalie. ‘She’ is told in Joe’s POV which I absolutely loved. Since the first chapter I started falling for Joe. He is caring, focused, determined and a little obsessive. Natalie is beautiful, brave and damaged, some may even call her twisted. I was automatically intrigued by her and cannot wait to get fully inside her head. Her history is truly gut wrenching.
“I must tear her from the seams and stitch her back together again”
There are a few parts in the story that I can honestly say I did not see coming. Two scenes had me squirming in my seat and left unsure about my feelings and thoughts on the situation. I had to put the book down both times to process what I just read but I ended up loving the little turn of events. There is a certain side character that I loved to hate and another one in which I wanted to jump on his bike and run away with forever.
“There is a point in our lives where we cross over a threshold for which we can never return.”
I had goosebumps the entire time while reading the last chapter. I certainly didn’t expect the plot twist we are given but I should learn by now that KRS is full of surprises. Every second of this book had me on the edge. Their love is hard, deep and not always pretty, I found myself drawn to the darkness of it.
“We can change and grow together. Or we can mutilate the love into nothing.”
This is a duet so fair warning it ends on a cliffhanger but wow what a cliffhanger it was. I’m desperate, nervous and going out of my mind waiting for He, the conclusion of their story. She is a definite must read. If you are looking for a book that will hold you captive and leave you begging for more, you need to read this!!
“I will ride with her to hell and eternal damnation holding her hand because that is what love does.”
