Restless Things

This was a much anticipated read for me from an author who became one of my favourites from her debut duet. That alone should speak volumes about her talent, and if she's new to you, read Fragile Things immediately. Trust me, this is one journey you don't want to miss a single thing from.<br />Ok enough of my nice review as I finished Restless about 20 minutes ago, and it's taken me this long to stop yelling and wanting to throw my kindle. (I always review as soon as I've finished a book, so readers get my raw reaction, but needed to calm down first)<br />Enter all the sweary words here that would never be allowed in a review.<br />I AM A MESS!!!!!<br />Considering the way the last book in the series ended, I knew this book was going to wring every emotion out of me over and over, so much so I procrastinated so much once I opened this book up, but then suddenly as much as I wanted to prolong my stay in Folkstone, I found myself madly turning the pages back and forth, absolutely gobsmacked. I couldn't believe what I was reading. Then let's not talk about those last few chapters, as I'm still rocking in a corner, about to pour a large glass of wine.<br />I could say so much more, like how many characters I wanted to slap, shake or kill, but this journey needs to be experienced first hand.<br />This author is an evil genius, cliffhanger queen.<br />ONE CLICK IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!<br />Would give more stars if I could.

FIVE RESTLESS STARS for Sunday and Payne ????!!!<br /><br />BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN!<br /><br />Although this is only the third book I have read from Samantha, I have to admit that with each book she is trying harder to reach a higher level in her writing level and I truly believe that she has a brilliant career ahead of her.<br /><br />This book was interesting from the first page and I easily connected with the main characters and immersed myself in the plot itself.<br /><br />"Restless Things" is a dark high school romance with best friends to lovers trope with suspense plot and mystery that will prevent you from separating from the book until the end.<br /><br />Sunday and Payne's relationship is everything!<br /><br />The book ended with a cliffhanger and that's why I'm looking forward to the next book.<br /><br />If you're looking for a dark suspense high school romance and you also love Samantha's writing style, then this is the book for you!!!<br /><br />Highly recommended!!!<br /><br />P.S. Can't wait to read "Ruined Things"!!!

<strong>Excellent </strong><br /><br />I loved this series and didn't think anything could top my love for Stella and Poe. Sunday and Payne however are an awesome duo and I love the history between them. The bumps along the way they have and keep hitting just break my heart. The angst, the suspense, the intrigue, the steam between them....just wow. This is one helluva roller-coaster ride and ends on a cliffhanger that had me shouting.

Restless Things by Samantha Lovelock has been one of my most-anticipated books and it definitely lives up to the hype. Restless Things is the third installment in the Folkestone Sins series and this is Sunday and Payne's story. Sunday and Payne have known each other since birth and have been best friends since they were young children. It would seem natural that these two would eventually become more and they were headed in that direction until an unthinkable tragedy caused Sunday's life to spiral out of control. Now, she feels that she can't risk losing another person that she loves.<br /><br />This book is a quick page-turner that packs a serious punch. It has a bit of everything...mystery, suspense, heat, angst, both heartwarming and heartbreaking moments. I absolutely adore all of these characters and their relationships with each other. These guys (and girls) give serious friend goals. And Payne...oh my heart, Payne. Love him! <br /><br />I felt every emotion while reading this book, many at the same time, but *heads up* it leaves you with a major cliffhanger that will have you wanting to throw your book or Kindle. I cannot wait for the rest of Sunday and Payne's story and I look forward to more from this series and this Author.

Welcome back to Folkestone, dear readers, where teenage angst and first love drama is nestled into an elite world of secrets, lies, complicated family legacies, and corrupted power. Poe and Stella found some closure in their romance- but the heirs world around them continues to madly spin on- and now our eyes are on the lovable besties that are still in the midst of their own messy love story- the charmingly enchanting Sunday and Payne.<br /> <br />While this story features a different couple than the first two Folkestone books, this shouldn’t be read as a standalone. Sunday and Payne’s romance begins two books ago, their history spanning long before those first pages, and the actions and events that happened in the prior duet are a very heavy part of Restless Things. This story doesn't’ miss a beat- it dives right back into the heirs drama, all of the elite intrigue and corruption that these young friends are deep in the thick of. Poe and Stella’s story left us with a giant cliffhanger that careened us straight into where this story began. Heirs secrets yet again dismantling the very fragile trust and security these teens have.<br /> <br />To be honest, I was surprised at how quickly we were getting some answers, as many secrets and mistruths are exposed early on in this story. And, while I love finding out answers, it left me a smidge unsettled- because nothing is as it seems in the heirs world. Did this mean that Sunday and Payne’s story was going to be less interwoven with heirs machinations? Or did that mean even deeper, darker, and more complicated secrets awaited? You’ll need to dig in to find out just what these truths mean for our core characters, but if we’ve learned anything by know it is that no relationship in this world is easy. Not even Payne and Sunday’s- not even the childhood best friends.<br /> <br />Of course, this love story is different from Poe and Stella’s because Sunday and Payne are best friends- friends who already know many of the light and dark aspects of one another’s stories. That makes the stakes of their connection higher - because exploring their complicated feelings means risking one of their only sources of comfort, one of their only safe places- their friendship. As I mentioned we get a lot of secrets exposed and some new information comes out early- and it left me wondering, then, just what was going to be the central drama of this story. But then I realized the tension Samantha is exploring in this leg of their romantic journey- because nothing is as dangerous, as risky, as destroying one of the only pure, safe, and true connections you have in a world of corruption and deceit. And that becomes a key source of angsty drama-and Samantha does something really smart, she recognizes these characters can’t truly explore that until they have a “beat”- until they have a moment.<br /> <br />While their stories have spanned multiple books, this is the first time we get to spend a book inside both of their heads. Flashbacks and quiet moments help us learn more about the circumstances that have shaped them, and a bit more about them as people. We still get Sunday’s feisty fierceness, but we also see a far more vulnerable character. And Payne’s heart is far more gentle and optimistic than I expected- he’s got a swoony quality to him. I love them both- and feel fiercely protective over them. After the ways they’ve shown up for their friends...and each other...these are two characters who deserve some peace...some happy. I don’t think we fully “know” them just yet either, so I’m excited to continue to dig deeper into them both in the next book.<br /> <br />Yet again Samantha proves herself as an artist of the written word- this story is just beautifully scribed. Evocative imagery and meticulous emotional tension permeate the pages- and like the prior books in the series, Samantha really artfully juxtaposes tone to create a dynamic experience- the familiar warmth of these friends contrats so vividly with the foreboding melancholy of the world around them. The flashbacks in particular are powerfully engaging, and, until our epic final few scenes, they really serve as the story’s emotional center and key lever for characterization. <br /> <br />Just when I think I get what this story is going to be about, we are very quickly catapulted over the edge of a cliffy that I was not quite anticipating- and I’m still trying to figure out just what I think about it and what it means for the broader narrative of this couple. But I do know I’ll be anxiously awaiting the story that is next- because these two are so dear, and I will do anything for them to find an HEA.<br /> <br />4.5 stars<br />

This is book #3 in the series Folkestone Sins and is gripping from the very beginning. I couldn't put this book down it was a really great read and it really has it all. The drama, the suspense is bail biting, angst and captivating moments that are very emotional and will have your emotions on a roller coaster ride. <br />This is Payne and Sunday's story and one that is beautiful. They have known each other a very long time and have been dancing around there feelings especially Sun as she doesn't want to get hurt. Sunday is such an amazing woman that she will give you all of herself as she cares about everyone I her life but she has been through a lot. Payne is an amazing guy that and is her best friend and will do anything for her.<br /><br />I'm trying not to give away spoilers because everyone must read this book and this whole series from the very firsts book this author has gripped you with her writing and her style which is totally amazing and I highly recommend reading them form the beginning because you will love all the characters that she has created in this world. The story flows throughout and I loved the way that this author has written the characters she's really brought them to life in a way that the reader can connect to them. It is full of twists and shockers and I enjoyed this book so much that if I could give ,more than 5 starts I would, I cant wait to read the next book in this series and I really look forward to reading more from his author in the future. <br /><br />#folkestonesins #samanthalovelock #restlessthings #darkromance #romancebooks #bookblogger #reviewshelpauthors #arcreader #ARC #comingsoon <br /><br />MY BLOG<br /><a target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/VickisMagicalBookBlog">https://www.facebook.com/VickisMagica...</a>

The twists keeping hitting the Folkestone Heirs hard. Sunday’s brother may be back, but he came with a lot of secrets that will rock the group. Sunday herself is ready to come clean to Stella about her past. Knowing what she’s gone through makes me see her for the strong person she’s grown to be seemingly without the support of the parents who she should be able to count on. The real constant in her life has been Payne. Payne for his part is drawn to this girl first as a boy and now as a man. I love Payne. His adoration of Sunday is something that can’t be duplicated. These two are goals, but the universe, or something more sinister, seems to be conspiring against them. After the cliffhanger ending, I will be anxiously waiting for book 4!

I seriously am so mad at Author Samatha Lovelock.. how could you? I know what you did .. sitting there laughing while I’m crying my eyes out huh? Figures.. I been anticipating this book for ever.. and I savored it til the last word. Mother of cliffhanger got me all up in my feels.. <br /> Sunday and Payne .. they are best friends and lovers or would be lovers but secrets of Folkestone are always ruining everyone’s plans aren’t they? I take back what I said I don’t want to move there anymore... I’m not sure I could survive the drama and epic reveals that seem to be so Catastrophic.. these two are so heartbending and epically bad at communicating.. they have their reasons but I’m devastated right now so I’m mad at them.. <br /> I love Payne .. he broke me and definitely stole my heart.. he’s so sweet and loving.. he has some smooth moves too .. but we all know I love these heir boys .. <br /> I really hope book four comes out soon..I need more ..
