Disturbing, humane and dark, this is a love story that will keep you thinking.

As the description says these are two lovers who embark on married life full of hope. They are both veterans of the war and all that encompasses. Now that they are civilians, adjustments to life at home is part of their journey. More than a love affair, this book centers on the effects of war and the demons he has inside have on this soldier. It is through her love and tenacity that they seek their survival.

The confounding part is how these two characters were affected by the war or prior trauma to the point their married life is being controlled by overbearing feelings and responses neither one of them considered part of their normal character. This is the beginning of their journey to find out about themselves, preserve their marriage, and stay alive.

This is a series but I fully recommended. This is a journey to the dark side of your psyche.

I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thank you to the author for sharing a copy with me.

CD Reiss has offered her readers the opportunity to read this nail-biting military romance in one book which began with Rough Edge. Reiss is indisputably the queen of suspense and seeing as her gripping narrative in The Edge series kept me on the edge of my seat, I couldn’t think of a better way of reading this full-length novel now with more of Major Greyson Frazier’s thoughts. Had I inadvertently missed out small details? Well, Greyson definitely threw a different light on certain happenings, special attention being given to her fears. For me, it was like binge-watching an X-rated TV show, and can honestly say that the ebbing and flowing tension is nothing less than unsettlingly visual.

Greyson and Captain Caden St. John’s are drawn together like magnets; mutually intense feelings and sizzling chemistry leap off the pages. Their bedroom behaviour is worth mentioning. Sex...there’s a hell of a lot of it and some scenes could push future readers’ comfort zone boundaries since there’s an extremely passionate, if not dark side to their relationship. But you’ve got to give them a chance to understand why it’s so important in a marriage that can only be described as unconventionally edgy. Saying that, never did I doubt Caden’s undying love for a woman who has an unsurpassed determination to help him face his past, to save his war-torn soul from himself.

Caden might not be everyone’s cuppa as far as heroes go. He’s a pretty selfish man in the respect that he usually gets what he wants. But could he be like this because he’s losing his true self? When some of his actions threw me off-kilter, more often than not I found myself questioning the reasons behind them. And although I couldn’t help but like the guy, I felt something made accessible to him and what he considered doing with it capricious, seeing as he’s well-versed in his profession. Greyson overstepped the mark, too. Never taking her husband’s love for granted, she did what I considered to be totally unethical. Nonetheless, putting herself before him was quickly becoming second nature. With all its complexities, theirs is the perfect match. A fighter up against unimaginable ordeals, some of them personal, Greyson will do whatever she has to in her power in order to overcome the worst of their struggles.

If you’re into suspenseful angst-ridden love stories, this twisty psychological thriller is for you. It’s by no means a short read but put together Reiss’ extraordinary storytelling technique, strong character development, exciting plot elements oozing with tension, and the result is mind-blowing!

As I have mentioned previously nothing annoys me more in terms of reading than when I pick up a novel that has been misrepresented; this is by far the most extreme case of that I have had the displeasure to discover. This is categorised as falling into the mystery/thriller genre, but don't be fooled; this is 99% erotica and 1% suspense. It is also very poorly constructed and written, and I'm afraid this is one of those rare occasions that I had to DNF. The one adjective that sums up this awful reading experience the most is - DIRE.

I really don't know why a publisher and/or author would find it agreeable to target this book at the completely wrong audience. It's far more likely to end in negative reviews due to people feeling misled and wasting their time, money or both on a novel that is not for them. Do yourself a favour if you're looking for suspense, crime, mystery or thrillers then spend your money elsewhere, it's hard-earned after all. However, if you're looking for erotica and a book that would make Fifty Shades of Grey look tame by all means grab a copy - you may enjoy these lurid sex scenes; they certainly aren't for me. Whatever floats your boat.

Many thanks to Flip City Media for an ARC.

Girl On The Edge was a bit too much for me. I'm not a fan of erotic thrillers. The rough sex scenes were just awful. I didn't enjoy this one. I'm sure plenty of people will love it for the erotica! Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Wow, what an intense twisted ride! This book is a psychological thriller and it had so many twists and turns that keep you guessing, an intricate unique plot and some fantastic characters. I really enjoyed it, and was eager to finish and find out what happens. You would not be disappointed with this book!

Girl on the Edge by CD Reiss is the box set of The Edge Series which tell the story of Caden and Greyson. Caden and Greyson stories is one that does need a box set and such a series They are married but are fighting past demons and ones that are in the present. It a thrilling read that keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next...can they get past this and so on. It also brings those hot scene that I look forward to with Ms. Reiss writing. I really enjoyed this series and glad that we have this box set for a 'one stop shop' to get them all!.

The Edge Series;
Cutting Edge (prequel)
Rough Edge
On the Edge

***ARC received for an honest review***
Too long. Too clunky. Too much sex. This book was a mess. It also didn’t make a ton of sense. And the characters remained one dimensional. (Which is ironic considering). I was bored by 6%. And the ending was ludicrous.

I am honestly having a hard time writing a review for GOTE. It's not because I didn't like the book because I in fact did but I didn't love it either. It's very well written as are all CD Reiss books but this one was very exhausting. It seemed like every point to the story took forever to get there and it was just very long and drawn out. Usually when an author does this it makes me want to read it that much faster but in this one it made me want to put it down because I just was not invested in it enough to care if I found out what it all meant.

After starting it I did discover that it was in fact written originally as a serial. Maybe if I had read it in that format I would have enjoyed it more. As it was as an over 800 page book it didn't engage me the way I had anticipated it to.

I must say though the storyline was absolutely brilliant!! I think I would have loved it had it been a little more compacted and not as drawn out.

It is an erotic-thriller, but more interesting than the rough sex scenes is to look inside the dark side of Caden. The psychological part of the book is really interesting, but not the sex scenes.
Thank you Netgalley for this interesting ride.

1/5

This wasn't what I expected, but I still marched on until I couldn't stomach it no more.
DNF at around 30%. Genre is misleading IMO, it should be labelled erotica/suspense perhaps? But more on the first and very less on the later (at least from my experience).

I really enjoyed the first quarter of the book. I was engaged with the story and the characters but as the story went on, it got long and repetitive. It somewhat made me think of 50 Shades Of Gray as there are a lot of sex scenes and to be honest, it's not really my favorite type of books. I prefer suspense and mystery, not necessarily read about orgasms all through a book. I ended up skipping those scenes.

With the length of the book, I expected more. I would have enjoyed it better if some things were cut out and the book shorter. I wish all the best to the author and hope his work will find success.

Thank you to NetGalley and Flip City Media for my copy in exchange for an honest review.

Girl On The Edge is a long, long book, too long is my thought as you find yourself skipping huge chunks as it gets repetitive especially the sex, the orgasms. The synopsis sounded great and it was a book I looked forward to read but unfortunately it didn’t live up to expectations and fell flat for me.
The first third of this book I liked and had high hopes for this getting even better as the length is a good 800 pages plus but was repetitive and didn’t engage me especially the military side. I didn’t connect to either Caden or Greysen which didn’t help either. I think this book would have worked had it been half the length therefore ditching the repetitiveness.
I would like to thank Netgalley and Flip City Media for this ARC I received in exchange for an honest review.

Girl on the Edge by C.D. Reiss. A Psychological thriller that had some erotic content to it. It was a good book, a good storyline but for me it dragged at times. I look forward to reading more by this author.

3,5-4 STARS

I have read and loved many books from CD Reiss, I just not sure how exactly I feel about this one!The story is interesting, it has suspense and it was dark!Also the characters were unique and they were compelling!I was feeling like I was a part of their story!I like sex in the books that I read but in this one particularly it felt like it was repetitively and not in a good way always.Overall, it was a great read but not my favorite.

Absolutely this story had me hooked from the start. I absolutely truly love Caden and Greyson’s story. The journey they went through together and how much they love each other will definitely tug on your heartstrings. The ending was absolutely perfect for them both. Truly an remarkable story that everyone must read.

Girl on the edge really is a psychological thriller! Two veterans are adapting to life as civilians and let’s just say it’s not going well. It touches on subjects I haven’t read very much about, such as ptsd and split personality disorder. It was so interesting !! It really kept me on my pea. It didn’t know what what going to happen.

This novel is pretty racy. The intimacy between the two characters could be dark and could maybe be trigger for some readers. So fair warning. But, there is a good reason why 50 shades did so well. We eat that stuff up haha !

Overall I really enjoyed this book. Just don’t recommend it to your mom. 😉

**FULL REVIEW**

**claps hands**

Now, that I have your attention...because you have to pay attention when reading this book.

The change of characters, personas, and setting/times can confuse you faster than any disassociative disorder ever could.

With that said...I liked it.

"I break for you. Do you understand? I break every damned day and you do this? Why? You think getting away from me is going to cure you?"

Doctors...sheesh. Think they know everything...

This tale of Caden and Greysen is one that stuck with me. It's one that forced me to think, to consider every possibility, every aspect of their relationship, their lives...their outcome.

Would they make it? I honestly had no idea...

"Even as I convinced myself that was possible, I knew it wasn't. I was con-man and mark. Thief and victim. A willing dupe in my own web of lies."

The fact that there are about five books wrapped into this one cover was quite convenient. The thought of having to hunt each installment down as each part ended would've sent ME over the edge, talk about some cliffhangers.

As far as the story goes... as I said, I liked it. Didn't love it, because truly, it felt quite long and drawn out. I feel the author could've reached her point much quicker, and while the mental games she played with us as readers were well worth reading to the end, I found myself skipping and skimming parts that felt unnecessary with details irrelevant to the story arc. I know there's a lot to absorb, medical and military jargon that requires some explaining but with the length of this story, the details became lost and pulled me from the action.

All in all, Caden and Greysen's love story is just that. A twisted, distorted, dark, and crazy love story. One I would never want to live through...but enjoyed reading about.

*Side note: The author's note at the end, along with her acknowledgments and explanations...LOVED THAT! I felt I understood more of the story after reading it and was thankful to have that little insight into her mind while writing this book (series).*

**3 You Jump, I Jump, Stars**

This was a hard book for me to read. I think it was the subject and tone of the book. This is personal to me and has nothing to do with the writing. I know many people will love this book. It’s full of lies, betrayal and manipulation. It was very sad and heart wrenching to read at times. (less)

This book was not for me. I don’t mind sex in books but in this book it’s all about sex. So I can’t even write a review because I gave up after a couple of chapters.

I just could not get through the whole book. 100 pages in and still struggling to connect with the two main characters and their lives. I’m sorry, I know a ton of you liked this book but I’ve given up.
