Manacled

Let me start by saying I have never read fan-fiction before now, and I had no idea this story was out there until I saw it trending on TikTok. Manacled is hands down the best book I have read in all of 2023. This story is so well written and an interesting take on the Potterverse.

SenLinYu has written the most heartwrenching masterpiece of torture, despair, and longing which is the ultimate enemies-to-lovers story.

While there are a lot of strong themes in this story (read and re-read the trigger warnings), the story is unique while also not being completely unrelatable or irrelevant to the main storyline. This story is extremely dark in some parts and may not be for every reader, but the emotional damage is worth it in the end.
