Hi there, pornies! How have you been? These last days were horrible for me. I've been so sick I couldn't even read, but totally free of coronavirus. I'm feeling way much better now and catching up with everything, including a review of the amazing Deep Cut, the first book in the Permanently Black and Blue series, by C.R. Scott. Thanks to the publisher for sending me a copy!

Shaun’s an outsider. He has a dark past and an even darker habit of cutting himself and burying his emotions under his skin. The only thing he’s got going for him is his guitar and a head full of lyrics.When Jesse moves to town, bringing big bright smiles and warm blue eyes into Shaun’s dark life, he insists they become friends.But that’s going to be a problem for Shaun. He’s never had a real friend before. Oh, and he’s also finding himself hopelessly attracted to Jesse’s undeniable charm, which is definitely not going to work out.Being gay isn’t brutal and Shaun has an image to uphold if he’s ever got a shot at becoming the death metal God he knows he’s destined to become.
I’m gonna say first of all that
if you are not into cliffhangers, stay away from this book. If there are some
things that should be illegal for authors, then that kind of ending tops the
list. After such a roller coaster and drama and teas and laughs, we get that?
You better hurry up with Book Two then, miss author.
As the first book of a trilogy, Deep Cut presents an entire cast of characters, some more interesting than
others, a couple of them more developed, but all interesting at some level. I
liked how they all interacted and how the story developed, because you often
get a linear story in young adult books, but it’s not the case this time.
C.R. Scott has a writing style that makes
it all interesting, keeping you reading page after page, completely hooked on
the story. Nothing that amazing happens, to be honest, but this book is filled
with beautiful descriptions and feelings that made me smile and shiver more
than once.
However, a word of caution here. There’s
suicide, murder, self-harming, drug, suicide ideation, child abuse, and much
more in Deep Cut. Also, I find it a bit unrealistic that someone as Jesse would
insist in being friends with someone as Shaun, not that I don’t love these
guys, but I don’t understand why he would be so interested in a guy who acts
like a jerk most of the time. I guess Jesse may have some kind of Autism, or
something like that. Maybe we will get the answer in the next books.
In short, I’m completely in love with Deep Cut,
by C.R. Scott, and cannot wait for Scars, the second book of this series. I
find it strange that this woman is nowhere in the internet (trust me when I say
I can be a stalker,) but I guess we all have different needs of privacy.
