My Revenant: MM Dark Romance (Runaways Book 1)

4.4 / 5.0

Description

Ghosts are real, and I know because I am being haunted by one. My life was a fragile sequence of running and hiding until he appeared, a man with a fire inside him that threatened to burn away the last of my defenses. He told me I seemed like someone who should not be alone, but in my world, solitude was the only thing keeping me alive. This is a story about the shadows we cannot outrun and the dangerous magnetism of a soul that mirrors our own. As I flee from the ghosts of my past, I realize that something bigger and far more sinister is closing in. The truth is a predator, and the only person standing between me and total destruction is the very man who makes me want to stop running entirely. Ronan Marlow crafts a masterful, high-stakes atmosphere where the angst feels visceral and raw rather than performative. This dark romance balances intense emotional depth with a haunting, literary edge. If you crave a narrative that lingers in your mind long after the final page, this is your next obsession. It is a haunting, beautiful exploration of survival, obsession, and the devastating cost of finally letting someone in.

I keep coming back

I leave this book in my kindle. Its so good. I’m so thankful for this author and their time. They write angst in a way that isnt cringe or boring. They write love in a really unquie way i couldn’t do anything but believe. It was a beautiful story and the amount of possessive i feel most books are afraid to go but its what i’ve been looking for for so long. Ronan Marlow, you are an incredible author and i hope you stay true to yourself. You know what youre doing. Don’t get clouded by reviews or warp your writing to fit someone elses narrative. I will always come back to your work. I really really loved this book. Youre doing something different and refreshing.

Debut Novel?!!

Rating: 4 ⭐️ Format: 🎧📖 Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ What an absolute beast of a debut novel!! This was sooo good. These men are insanely toxic but they fit each other so well. I love how the author set up for the next books because I want to know what exactly is happening. Let’s talk about Jonah, I didn’t know what he had in him but this man is a ride or die literally. He will pop hands for his man and I love an energy like that. Dex was just 🥹. I love my broken babies and can’t wait to see them more.

"But he wasn't the only thing hunting me down. There was something bigger. Something worse. The truth" I have so many highlights in this book, so many good quotes. And I just love how it's written. The dual pov of past and present works really well (at least for me personally). It's like we're running away from whatever secret/past with Jonah, and as we run we see more and more pieces come together. The story felt well paced, and at no point did I feel like I knew what would happen next. Rather the opposite, the more we ran, the more desperate I got to finally know what is chasing/haunting us. It hooked me from the first chapter, and I couldn't put it down. Lost boys and found family is some of my fav tropes. Jonah and Dex together is just two pieces of a whole, and you never question their connection. Desperate, obsessive and possessive. I loved it! And loved it even more when it didn't say "the end", but the end for now. I'm looking forward to seeing these guys again. Please do remember to read the TW, and stay safe, as the title states; this is a dark romance. "I wished he were right, though. I wished I were the devil. I wished I were this vile, evil thing incapable of love. But I wasn't. I was human. And I craved love so much it made me sick. Maybe, just maybe, he could be the one to love me."
