This was a sad read. It was not an “fun” read. But I love these characters and I want to see them make it through their struggles. This installment in the series had some pacing issues and could definitely have been shorter. That said I read it in a couple of days. I am happy to see how things turned out- but damn if it didn’t break my heart before we got there.

This book is a lot heavier in some parts, but seeing the growth of Joey and seeing him finally try to overcome his drug addiction was so beautiful to see it was also nice to see the relationship between him and Aoife grow!

This book made my heart ache for Joey, Aoife and everyone whose life was affected by Teddy Lynch. I was internally screaming enough whenever I saw Teddy make an appearance on the page and felt so devastated whenever he took another beating on his family and implanted a poisonous seed in Joey's mind. And many times I felt bad for Marie because I do believe that deep in her heart she wanted to love Joey, to be a mom for her kids and to protect her kids from repeating her mistakes. I know that her fear had held her back from doing the right things for herself and her kids. I understand that being pregnant at age of 14 and permanently bound to Teddy Lynch at that age due to pregnancy had destroyed herself as a person and ability to grow into a real adult. She had every right to be upset and angry but it did not excuse her to be an abuser to Joey and ignored her duties as a parent to her kids. She did one last right thing before her death and I hope that she would be able to live a normal life like many others in her next life. While this book was great with a bunch of heartaches and emotional roller coasters, it definitely contained something that I do not quite like. Aoife was a great character. She was strong and determined. Perfect for Joey. But there was one time that both Joey and Shan got hurt. She was comforting Joey while her internal dialogue was like "yeah I was not really worried (about Shan's injuries)." This felt so not right to me. I would understand if she needed to put Joey first by thinking something like "while I understand Shan was also hurt I must put Joey as my top priority blah blah blah," but definitely not that "I do not really care" attitude. I just could not match this person with the girl who went all her ways to protect and defend Shan in B13 and K13.

Heat: 🔥 There were some at first but considering how depressing the story was before Teddy Lynch finally died I'd rather it to be just like B13.
