5 WOW STARS!
This book was very difficult to read and I suppose it was even more difficult to write. After how the first book ended I honestly didn’t know what to expect.
In this sequel the story dives deeper and a lot of the unanswered questions from book one are answered, but I shall not spoil you!
Not going to lie, it was difficult to read, not that it’s badly written, maybe because it is so well written. Author made me relate to these characters so much, although I had no such struggles in life like they did. And that I suppose says a lot about what a great writer A.L. Jackson is.
Also this book brings out the family values, which is very important imho. Especially the one that clearly shows that family doesn’t have to be blood related.
So to sum up, a beautiful love story that I recommend reading!

I have no clue where and how to start this review. This book came at me out of nowhere. I haven’t even read the books that go before this one in the series! And I never do that! I’m so anal about rules and this is usually my rule. To never start in the middle of a series. But here we are.
So let’s start from the beginning. When I started reading I didn’t know what to expect. I kind of liked the idea of the summary and thought it would be an easy, fast-paced love story. Basically I didn’t want anything too serious, some romance, some steam, but that’s it. And of course it all started kinda cheesy. I was rolling my eyes more than once, especially when the male hero kept spouting clichés non-stop.
But then the miracle happened! The book picked up speed and I just couldn’t stop reading. This girl, the heroine of this book… Oh my god, it hurts how genuinely sweet she is and how much she feels! Somehow I could relate to her… And this boy...This boy… *le sigh* He’s a walking breathing contradiction and you can’t help but love him. But especially you can’t help but love them together!
Anyway, I’m in love with this book. It made me feel so much. I don’t want to spoil it for you, however. I highly recommend this book and I think it can be read as a stand-alone. Of course it probably is best to read them in succession. But like I said I understood pretty much everything quite alright.
This is the 44th book in the series, not including the shorter stories. The 44th!! How about that! And still I cannot ge[image]
5 strong golden stars!
This is the 44th book in the series, not including the shorter stories. The 44th!! How about that! And still I cannot get enough of Eve and the people she work with. This character is one of my favorites. She is like a bad-ass female version of Bruce Willis in his movies lol.
Seriously, I love her and just can’t get enough of her. I am sad now that I haven’t reviewed all of these books as I read them, but I was seriously binge reading and couldn’t be bothered at that time to stop and write a review.
As with all longer series, some book are better than others and yet I feel like this series doesn’t have bad books. I loved all and every one of them. Of course some were closer to my heart than others, but every book is unique and just proves again and again what a wonderful writer Nora Roberts is <3
So this book got me guessing from the start. I’m a huge fan of detectives and for example in movies I pretty much can say from the start who did what and who’s responsible. And since I read all the previous books in this series, I was sure I could guess who the ‘bad guy’ here is. Lol... Yes I was sure I could tell. I know, funny. But once again dear Nora surprised me and I’m glad. This power she has keeps me coming back again and again, to read her books.
Absolutely loved this book and am very sad it ended and cannot wait for the next one to come! If you haven’t started this series, maybe you’re intimidated by the number of books in it (I was), don’t be! The fact that it's is still going only shows that one, the story isn’t over, two the author still has something to add to the characters and three – demand for these books is high! I highly recommend!
Oh yes! Oh My Gawd, yes please! This book was exactly what I needed! Something new created from something [image]
5 out of 5 beautiful golden starts!!!
Oh yes! Oh My Gawd, yes please! This book was exactly what I needed! Something new created from something old! Let me say that at first I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy reading the beginning of it all. Of course when I saw it fist that dear Harrison is releasing another book for her “The Hollows” series I was thrilled!!! But then I saw it was a prequel… suddenly I wasn’t so sure at all. Y’all probably are wondering why? It’s simple, really. I have read and re-read this whole series more than once, 3 or maybe 4 times. I know and love and hate the characters, some I’ve learned to love. I KNOW THEM. And it was over, although I was really, really sad when the series ended. I’m still missing Rachel and her crew. In my opinion this is one of the best series ever written, hands down. The world building, plots, everything is perfect. It reflects the author’s creativity and just leaves you in awe. And after missing these books for a long time I almost came to terms with the idea that it’s over.
But yes, I gave it a shot and I want to thank NetGalley and the publisher for providing me an ARC to give my honest review. And I couldn’t be more honest than to say that I LOVE IT! It’s perfect! This book gives us an insight of what was happening before the turn. How ‘the turn’ even happened, and why. Another thing that I loved was recognizing the key players that will appear in the series as it progresses. SPOILER ALERT! ----> it was so nice seeing Al! loool Another thing I would recommend is that if you only now joining us, the die hard “The Hollows” fans, this book should not be read as a first in the series. Maybe the author won’t agree, but in my humble opinion, this book explains a lot that you only learn while reading the series. And I think you should not know some stuff before you know it, if that makes sense! :) It will be more fun to learn it as you go, I promise. So get your copy of this book and start reading!
The feels I have right now cannot be named.. So many feels it is ridiculous if you ask me. *blows nose* I remember This book... This Book. THIS BOOK!!!
The feels I have right now cannot be named.. So many feels it is ridiculous if you ask me. *blows nose* I remember the first time I've started this series. I remember how I was hooked from the start and how after I read all of the existing books I was mad and sad at the dear author for not producing them faster! But now, I am not mad or sad because of that.. I'm mad and sad because the journey is over.. and what a journey it was! And although there will be at least one more, Dani's novel, maybe even more than just that one, and maybe with the same characters, I feel like this book wrapped it all up. Mainly I'm just sad now.. because it ended.. But don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed this book and all of the books before this one tremendously! So much so that that is why I am so sad at the moment. I feel like there's been a huge dot placed at the end of this book. Now I know I wasn't always happy with the authors decisions, but I am happy I had the pleasure to read these books. They made me think and feel so much! I am not gonna spoil you the opportunity to read this for yourself. Was there a HEA? Well you'll just have to read it to know. I might add that before reading this book one must have to be prepared to cry at times or at least feel sad. Because there can be no good if there's no bad... right?
All in all I loved this book.. I am amazed once again with the authors ability to truly touch my heart. And I'm indescribably happy to have had the opportunity to know my beloved characters, to see them grow, to feel happy and sad and hurt with them, to cry with them and laugh with them. So again thank you Karen Marie Moning, you gave me so much I cannot describe. I've re-read this series so many times I can't count, and I know I will be re-reading it in the future as well.
So if you want my opinion on whether or not to read this book, you should know the answer by now. It is always Yes! Yes, because you read all of the books before this one, and if you haven't, what the hell are you waiting for??? And YES, because it is great and we all need few hundred pages of great once in awhile in our lives!
