The Archer never misses his mark.

Layla Ashby, the spoiled daughter of a powerful family, has always had things go her way. That changes when she wakes up from a nightmare, barefoot and feral in the woods, with no memory of how she got there.

But something doesn't add up.

As fragmented memories of her lost days claw their way back, Layla must confront a truth far more dangerous than the masked man who abducted her.

The man calling himself The Archer didn't just break her; he awakened something within her.

Something she doesn't fully understand.

Something she might not want to forget.

Wildling is a twisted thriller following two wild Sagittarians.

𝐀𝐑𝐂 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖 - 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐃𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 by @rhearyanwrites

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ but my sanity gets 0.

WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FU*K. 😳

I went into Wildling thinking I knew what kind of ride I was getting on…

HAHAHAHAHAHA. NO.

Rhea had me questioning EVERYTHING.

What’s real?
What’s in her head?
Who the hell can be trusted?

WHY AM I SECOND-GUESSING MY OWN EXISTENCE?! 😂

“I’m a good liar, even in my dreams.”

BABE. SAME. BUT THIS BOOK HAS ME NEEDING A THERAPIST. 🫠

And then there’s The Archer…

“The Archer—whoever or whatever he is—isn’t done with me.”

UM. EXCUSE ME?! 👀

The psychological mind games? FUCKED.
The suspense? DIABOLICAL.
The spice? HELLOOOO 🔥👀

My ability to trust anything happening on the page?

GONE.

And just when I thought I had something figured out…

NOPE.

Rhea Ryan really said “let me scramble your brain, make you question reality, throw in some deliciously dark tension and then leave you staring at the wall.”

Mission fucking accomplished. 😂

🖤 Dark
🖤 Twisted
🖤 Psychological
🖤 Unpredictable
🖤 Spicy
🖤 COMPLETELY UNHINGED

I HAVE QUESTIONS. I HAVE TRUST ISSUES. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT JUST HAPPENED. 10/10 WOULD LET RHEA DESTROY MY SANITY AGAIN. 🫠🔥
