Summary

Small town, small-minded people, small expectations, and big assholes.

Lilith Deville is the new enigma at Lakeside Preparatory Academy, a prestigious high school by a river and not a lake, which makes sense not. Already, she hates it despite its beautiful landscape. 

Between riding her dirt bike through the sacred lands of the natives, plotting against those she meets, and holding greasy truckers at gunpoint, Lilith makes no time for love or friendship. Forever the walking mystery (read misery) of her new home and school. 

That is, until Nokosi Locklear catches her eye with his arrogance and a hard, toned body that she’s certain she doesn’t want to climb. Shoved up against a locker by him in her first week, she sets him in her wicked sights.

Life is only fun when you have somebody else’s pain to focus on. So long as you stay detached. Something Lilith will find is impossible to do when it comes to Nokosi. A guy with looks but no charm. Strength but no power. Love but no morals.

With a serial killer roaming the country taking victims one by one, a past in Nokosi’s eyes that he tries to hide, and a mother who would rather work than keep her daughters happy, Lilith finds plenty of time to spare and plenty of things to keep herself occupied.

Note: This is your only trigger warning. Listen to it at your own risk.

So good

This book is amazing it kept me guessing until the last few chapters.
I thought I had guessed who the killer was half way through but there’s so many twists and turns it keeps you guessing.
The ending is brilliant and so touching I had tears in my eyes listening to it . I am putting this book on my to be listened to again list.

Wow! This story was heartbreakingly brilliant. I don’t really know what to say, I feel really emotional after listening to it. The storyline was great and the narrator done an amazing job.
Highly recommend!

Holy plot twist!

Where do I start?!

My mind is well and truly blown by this book- this story held me enraptured from the start until the very end... with

Lilith is a heroine with attitude and sass and she was not easy to love at first but somehow, somewhere I feel hard and fast for her... everything about this book gripped me... my was mind spinning in all different directions trying to keep up and see into the future... I was tempted to skip to the end on more than one occasion... I second guessed everything I believed about unfolding plot- but HOLY PLOT TWIST!!! 🤯🤯

This is a book that is best read blind, and it has been a welcome unplanned read/ listen for me.

Let’s not forget Nokosi- oh my love .... this guy is all heart and soul!

Be prepared for a twisty mind blowing psychological romance read.

utterly brilliant suspense romance thriller

Wow, what an incredible dark, twisted, intense, psychological mess with your head story. It's blown my poor mind and cracked my heart.

It's the first I've read by this author and my favourite read of the year so far, I flipping loved it!!

I thought it was going to be a bit of a high school bully story, which I have to admit isn't normally my cup of tea. Naked or Dead is soooo much more than that, its a dark, twisted, suspense thriller and more, I just can't describe it without giving anything away. Trust me, you need to read this blind, without knowing too much!

If you want sweetness and flowers and a conventional romance ending, honestly this book probably isn't for you. It's dark and violent at times with definite triggers for some. Nikosi and Lilith are not at all what I thought they'd be when I started reading. I had no idea what was coming and hopefully it will shock, surprise, amaze and break you as it did me.

I listened to the audio version. The female narrator was excellent, very expressive and enhanced the atmosphere of the story. This book was very well written, it hooked me with long claws and didnt let go. I loved it and can't wait to read more from this author. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Twisted Perfection!!

Oh hell. What the f*** did I just read??? I don’t even know how to rate this. I don’t even know an emoji to add. I’m just..... let’s just say, there’s a scorching romance, there’s a brain tumor sister, and there are more twists and turns in this book than you’ll ever see coming.

Amazing!

I have just finished listening to the audiobook and l honestly don’t know how l feel! I am in shock as to how the story unfolded, and l am also heartbroken as the story was so emotional. This is the first book l have read by this author and l can’t wait to read more now. I am not going to say anything about the story as l’m scared l might give something away. Suffice to say the story had me hooked from the very first page and it was such an intriguing story with very strong characters and an amazing storyline. The narrator, in my opinion, did an amazing job at bringing the story to life. Loved it ❤️
