I went into this book completely blind and I’m not sure I ever could’ve expected how much it would claw its way into my cold unfeeling heart.

*please note that this book deals with heavy mental health issues*

I sat and listened/read this book all in one sitting because it absolutely captivated me. From the first chapter I was absolutely hooked—needing to see the deep seated secrets held within each of the characters. Wanting to see that they could find a spark of hope in an otherwise seemingly hopeless existence.

Reading about the bond between Liam, Wynn, and Lanston was like watching the pieces of a puzzle seamlessly fit together—yes, they were flawed and hurtful, but they were also beacons of hope and forged a foundation of support that seemed unbreakable despite the turmoil they all faced.

And then you add in the horror-inspired plot twists??

If you’re looking for a darker-themed romance book that is wholly unexpected, you’ve found a winner. Just be sure to check trigger warnings!

I think the best part of this one was the ending. I didn’t see it coming and it was really emotional to read through. Overall I enjoyed the premise but found it hard to stay connected to the characters and their back stories. The flow of the story seemed disjointed as they moved from one POV to the next rather than cohesive.

That said, I think I will read the next release in this series and would try this author again.

Thank you to NetGalley, Forever Publishing and K.M. Moronova for an early review copy. These are my honest thoughts.

I need Wynn and Liam to seek actual, professional help. Immediately. Preferably at separate facilities.

I am quickly learning that this author may not be for me. What drew me to it was people comparing it to one of my all time favorite series. And while I can see where they are coming from it is also not even close to being the same.

I really struggled with a rehabilitation center that gave their patience so much freedom. The thing that really got me was that bedrooms had locks on the doors but showers could not…’for obvious reasons’. The lack of consistency in this book made me struggle and the synopsis didn’t match the story. But the end really made me roll my eyes.

Threads of Resilience: A Review of The Fabric of Our Souls

Thank you NetGallary for an early review copy of The Fabric of Our Souls!

K. M. Moronova’s The Fabric of Our Souls is a poignant and deeply evocative novel that explores themes of resilience, identity, and the enduring power of the human spirit. Set against a backdrop of historical turmoil, the story weaves together the lives of characters who must navigate personal and collective struggles, revealing how history leaves its imprint on the soul.

Moronova’s prose is both lyrical and immersive, pulling the reader into a world rich with emotional depth and historical authenticity. The novel masterfully balances personal narratives with broader societal themes, making it not just a story of individual survival, but also a reflection on the forces that shape our lives. The characters are intricately developed, each carrying their own burdens and aspirations, making their journeys all the more compelling.

One of the novel’s greatest strengths is its ability to capture the complexities of human emotion—loss, hope, and the enduring need for connection. Moronova does not shy away from the harsh realities of the time period she portrays, but she also finds beauty in resilience and perseverance.

For readers who enjoy historical fiction with a strong emotional core, The Fabric of Our Souls is a must-read. It is a book that lingers in the mind long after the last page, reminding us of the unseen threads that bind people across generations.

Well done!

This book was an immersive and beautifully crafted story with rich world-building and compelling characters. The emotional depth and intrigue kept me hooked from start to finish, blending romance, mystery, and a touch of the supernatural seamlessly. The chemistry between the characters was captivating, making every interaction feel electric. A fantastic start to what promises to be an unforgettable series!

I grabbed this one from auto-approval when i was looking for a dark romance. Forever has the best title selections and they never disappoint. This one just hit the spot for a dreery read! Thanks so much for the digital copy!

This book was everything, it destroyed me completely. The whole vibe, setting, and feeling of this book is what I LIVE for. Melancholic, dreary, sad, painful, hopeful, wrapped in love that is beyond bone deep. It's soul deep. From the very first page I was pulled into this story, I wanted to crawl into my kindle and live there and have it never end. This book broke me and broke me again, just go in blind and then we can talk.

This is a book I didn't know I was going to absolutely love. I was drawn in instantly and fell in love with the character.
The Fabric of Our Souls was so emotional and gives you a better understanding of the struggles of mental health and how each person deals with their inner demons.
The ending gave me goosebumps and I never wanted it to end 😭. Such a great ending to their story though. Thank you NetGalley and Forever Publishing for the opportunity to read this wonderful book.

Oh my heart I loved this book so much! I sobbed like a baby! 10/10 stars I binged this after being in a reading slump for months. I love beautifully flawed characters and that’s just what these are.

This book was so hauntingly beautiful! It left me in the worst reading slump after finishing it. The melancholy you feel after reading this lasts for a while. K. M. says you'll stare at the wall and truly I did and sobbed like a baby! The relationships that grows between Liam, Wynn, and Lanston is something unexpected. How can three broken souls find the beauty in one another. Ugh, my heart! It's been a few weeks and I still think about it.

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

For the broken, you can find a place.

I’m twenty-six years old, and I want to die.

So when I wake up at the hospital with my brother weeping over me, I know my life is about to change. What I didn’t expect was to get a nurse with cruel eyes and a morbid sense of humor that surpasses my own.

I’m even more surprised when I arrive at Harlow Sanctum and realize that my brother selected an unorthodox rehabilitation center that rooms people based on their treatment plan. And my roommate is none other than the man with cruel eyes I met the day prior.

I crave death—he craves life.

Can two people like us cure each other?

This was quite the ride, with mental health, a mystery, and finding love. I was gripped from the very beginning and the twist and turns and my sure hope for the characters just kept me turning the pages. Very well done Moronova, very well done.

This is a messy love story. It's dark, sorrowful, and follows two broken souls drawn into each others heart.

Its epic conclusion broke my heart then mended it back together in its epilogue.

Thank you, Forever (Grand Central Publishing) | Forever

This book ruined me, and then put me back together again.

Wynn — I LOVED her. Not only did she deserve everything and then some, but her ability to find ways of caring when they may not be conventional, was so endearing. She was so easy to understand and feel for.

Liam? Swoon. His sassy bits and pieces and how he was with Wynn has my heart in a headlock.
He sure as heck deserved better too. The twist of Crosby? Broke my damn heart.

This books plot is so clever and I love this authors way of telling a story while tying it in with other genres so loosely you could miss it with a blink. This book is darker and as a result, check your triggers before you start reading.

This was so good.
I don't think that people realize how important mental health is and even just the support from families which I feel like this book supported.
The love story and the quotes that just stayed with me from this were amazing.
There were parts of this that I didn't love like the way (if you know you know) that one character dies. I would have liked something different, a different ending, a HEA, a triple love, a baby by him or something... I don't know, but something different.

Thank you to the publisher for allowing me an advanced readers copy of this to enjoy. I loved it and absolutely bought it too.

I absolutely loved my first read by this author and would happily read KM Monronova again. The story is dark. The story is depressing. This story is hope. Hope for people who live in the darkness with the belief that they are not worthy. Not worthy of love. Not worthy of respect. Not worthy of life. Wynn doesn't feel worthy. When she meets others at Harlow Sanctum (a respected mental institution) that have the same feelings, it is a mystery how anyone can get any better. There is a love story between several patients but it isn't a why choose type of story. These people complete each other in ways they never found on the "outside". There is an element of surprise and an element of suspense in the story that I found completely irresistible and was the hook that brought me to a 5 star as it wasn't quite what I expected. The story ended in the only way it could and I truly loved it. Indeed, you should check your triggers if you have them as it does have issues of suicidal ideation and self-harm.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an honest review in exchange for an advanced copy.

This one is dark, proceed with caution due to all of the triggers and know it will not be for everyone. I was hooked though - it's dark but quick and I could not put it down.

The Fabric of Our Souls had an intriguing premise, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite deliver for me. While the world-building had potential, it often felt underdeveloped, leaving me confused about the story's rules and settings. The characters, although relatable, lacked depth and didn’t evoke the emotional connection I was hoping for. The pacing dragged in parts, making it hard to stay engaged, and some plot points felt forced or cliché. There were glimpses of brilliance in Moronova's writing, but overall, the execution fell flat. It’s a book that had promise but ultimately didn’t meet my expectations.

This was an experience. It was an interesting twist to a dark romance that was emotional but very different. I would love to see what the author continues to put out in the future. If someone wants a darker quirkier romance give this a try.
