A review by selenamarie22
Of Loyalties & Wreckage by Lou Wilham, Christis Christie
4.0
First of all, that dedication is literally heart wrenching, a lot like this story. The story flows so smoothly you forget that it is written by more than one author, which just absorbs you into it right away. It was a short read, which I liked since it is a prequel to a series. So it kind of gives you the background without dumping all this information on you, like the first book of most series which I loved.
Now, the trauma these two characters endure...... Let's just say therapy may not be enough. So please read the triggers before diving into this book. It was not really graphic but it may still trigger some people. I love Ander. I love that despite his treatment by his uncle, he was still unapologetically himself. And Mab, sweet Mab.... You've been through a lot but you still stood your ground to protect those you love, even though you were not protected from this messy world. I hope you are able to heal from that trauma because personally I don't think I would have been able to but ik this is the sad reality for a lot of SA survivors. I love the dynamic between Ander and Mab, kind of gave me Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth vibes from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Enri, I have nothing good to say about this man but what I will say is this is the sad reality for a lot of people and like Ander, it can be difficult to get out of but please know that the people that care about you will help you and they only want what's best for you so do take their warnings into consideration. I have seen too many people die because of relationships like these.
Overall this is a good book, but please read the triggers before proceeding.
