Title: Ruin

Author: Rachel Van Dyken

Genre: Contemporary Romance | NA | Dark

Type: 1st book of the RUIN series

POV: Dual

Release date: 11th Aug 2013

My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm not your typical girl. I've been running away from the memories that haunt me for so long that depression has become my only comfort. I was content in the darkness...until Wes Michals offered to be my light.

I didn't know that time wasn't my ally -- that every second that ticked past was one step closer to the end of something that was beginning to mean the end of myself. He tried to warn me. He promised me all he was able to offer--each moment as it came--but it would never be enough.

Sometimes when you think it's the end, it's only the beginning. Wes thought he could save me, but in giving me everything, he ruined me. Because after one kiss, one touch, I couldn't--I wouldn't ever be the same.

And from that moment on, his heartbeat became my own.

“I can tell you have a good heart… because the minute I met you, I wanted to fight for it.”

Ruin is the first book of the Ruin series by Rachel Van Dyken. Told in dual perspectives, this book was one thrilling ride of Fun, emotions and Drama!!!

This is the first book of Rachel Van Dyken that I have read and It was absolutely amazing!!! I am so going to stalk the shit out of this author!!

Ruin was this beautiful, emotional story that had everything you can expect in a book! It had those funny scenes , the pain gut wrenching scenes and the happy endings that leave you with a goofy smile on your face. K absolutely loved these characters and can't wait to read more about them!!

Wes , aka Wolf was the male protagonist of this book. He is one of those guys whom you can't help but fall in love. He was smug as fuck but had this calm and sweet side that you couldn't help but be attracted to. Also he was really hot 🔥. That scene in that starting of the book, where kierstan crashes into him and starts counting his abs had me laughing so hard!!! The way this author delivers these funny moments is amazing!!

Keirstan was this sweet shy girl that you can't help but be connected to. From the moment she crashes against Wes in the corridor, she feels attracted to him. Wes feels the same for her. She is so innocent and sweet that he starts calling her Lamb.

Both of them instantly clicked together and started spending more time with each other. But Wes had a secret. A huge one that too. One he didn't want to tell to Keirstan because he didn't want to burden her with his troubles. He wanted her to move forward in her life and didn't want to stop her in any way. My heart hurt for him. He was really the idol boyfriend.

There is not much that I will say about this story , but just let me tell you that this is one of those books that you just can't miss reading!! It's suitable for all the people out there!! I loved the characters of this story and can't wait for their own books!!
