Paige's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 Split isn't your typical hearts and flowers romance. I often times felt like in was reading true crimes novel instead of a true romance. The books also took me a little bit to get into the characters and the overall storyline. Both Lucas and Shyann had to overcome so much pain personally before they could have a successful romance. 
 Shyann has to return to home with her tail between her legs. She needs to reevaluate her career choice, her relationship with her family and ex-boyfriend. During this hiatus she is immediately drawn to Lucas and his soft spoken caring ways. Unbeknownst to her he's hiding his past from her, her family and himself. 
 Lucas was a sweet, likeable character who stayed to himself until he needed to release the rage. Parts of the book were so disturbing I had to set it down and regroup. I know it's a book but it's unfathomable to me that such evil and cruelty exists in this world. 
 That being said the author gives us characters that are committed to each other and breaking free of the bonds that have held them for so long. By the end of the book I wasn't sure who I liked more. They kept the reader and Shyann on her toes. 
 Besides the storyline between Lucas and Shyann, the secondary plots help make this an interesting high drama high suspense novel. 
 ARC provided with no expectations.
