My heart! My heart needs some mending after the wild ride that was that ending!

But I've already said too much!

Gosh, y'all! My goshhh! That ending!!!!

I shouldn't have been surprised with how the ending came about-- it's set up from the onset, but I still felt myself gasping for air as it all went down. I was rendered breathless!

This a narrative that will weave onto your heart love and pain, triumph and tragedy, flight and falls. There were necks I wanted to wring, as there were wounds I so desperately wanted to heal. There were times I felt so much frustration, and times I felt such exhilaration. Even as my feelings were in combat, I knew it was all due to feeling these characters come alive off the page.

I loved our leads, Allette and Senan. They are very well developed characters, with very complex layers to reveal. They didn't always do what I would have wished, but then again, they were faced in a seemingly impossible situation. There was only so much space for them to move in, but they still tried their damnedest to do so. I held my breath through so much of this story and I'll be holding it until the sequel is out-- and let me tell you, I am in anxious need of it! Because once again: THAT ENDING!! AHHHH!!!

This is a story I think will have every reader at the edge of their seat-- I know I sure was on mine!
