7 Days

A Hate-to-Love Dark Romance

By: Stasia Black

Narrated by: Mackenzie Cartwright, James Joseph

Seven days to make her remember. Seven nights to make her beg.

She was my salvation—until she became my destruction.
Once, I would have bled for her.
Now, I burn for revenge.
She and her father didn’t just betray me. They destroyed me. Left me broken, bleeding, crawling my way out of hell. And now, years later, she’s back—wrapped up in a satin bow with a convenient case of amnesia?
Nice try, princess. But I don’t believe in fairy tales.
I bought her at an auction. Now I own her for a week.
Seven days to make her remember exactly who she was to me.
Seven nights to make her pay for every lie.
And when I’ve broken her, when I’ve ruined her the way she ruined me…
She’ll beg me to keep her.
And I will.
Because after seven days, I won’t be able to let her go.
Not now. Not ever.

Just seven days to make her mine. Forever.

HEAs Aren't Always Pretty

Where to even start? First, this book handles some severely serious issues. Make sure to read the trigger warnings and that you are in the right headspace before starting it.

That said... mad respect to Stasia Black for tackling the topics in this story in a harsh, but utterly realistic way. I was uncomfortable, I bawled, got angry, laughed, and just felt all the feelings. I appreciate the way in which the MCs found their HEA because life is messy, but beautiful.

Mackenzie Cartwright and James Joseph absolutely crushed their performances. I hate when people say narrating is easy and they're just reading a book out loud. No. just no. The people are master actors and can bring a story to life simply with their voice. No facial expressions, musical score, or special effects. It's just them and the material. They deserve all the awards for this one.

Be prepared for a book hangover. Worth it!

7 Days

I really enjoy Stasia Black’s 🎧books but this one was on a different level and sadly not in a good way. 😑 Truth be told this book was rather boring (narration was blah) it took me weeks to try to complete but with more than 2 hours left I just DNF! Is it worth a credit? For me it’s a no thanks.

Mental illness is not sexy

I read books to escape my normal life to go into a fantasy type place. I love romance, the forbidden love, enemies to lovers. I had a very hard time wanting to finish this book. It just wasn’t for me with the abuse & mental illness parts. Multiple personalities are not sexy.
