Review
Ivy was a gem that I found from an Instagram ad. And I hadn’t really known what to expect. And within a couple of pages, I realized that it was a great decision. Ivy felt like a juicy drama series that you can’t stop watching.
The story is told in three POVS—Ivy, Elora, and Cassia. Three college students who are roommates in a manor owned by Ivy’s family. All three of them have secrets. And I was hooked watching them all unfold. Ivy is the ringleader. The one who craves to learn more about everyone and wants power. Elora is her best friend and watches from the sidelines. And Cassia is the newcomer.
I really enjoyed all the characters and their love interest—Zain, Edwin, and Tate. All of them had a unique path and characterization. And I think for me, the biggest issue I had with this book is that I wish the book was a trilogy. The book is like 500 pages, and I wanted more. And I think that with each character getting their own book, they would have gotten the time they each deserved.
Final Analysis
Ivy is an addictive, angsty, and intense ride that left me craving more.
