There are a plethora of reasons that I love to read. Sometimes it is to get lost in another world, sometimes, it is a comfort, and sometimes it is because I know it will speak to my soul. In the case of this story, it was all three. This author is pure magic to me. There is just something about the way that she writes that resonates with me.

This story picks up right where the last book left off. The emotions and feelings that the characters were feeling leapt off the pages and grabbed me by the throat as they became a part of me in a weird way. Stella and Jay shouldn't have worked. On paper, they wouldn't have worked. however, they did work in the most captivating of ways.

There is heartache in this book, but there is also redemption and joy. I felt every moment of this journey and cheered when the vows that they made to each other were achieved. I highly recommend this author to anyone and everyone. She is a master wordsmith that will captivate her readers because she eloquently writes in a way that not only speaks to their soul but because she reminds them that reading truly is magic.

I hope that she brings the secondary characters to life, especially Wren because there is a story there. One that I cannot wait to read, especially, after having my heart ripped open. ( )
