Koah Saint and Tori Walsh’s lives have forever been changed by the past that still haunts them and the pain that never lets them go. Tori absolutely loathes Koah for the lies he told that upended her entire life and years later that resentment has never burned out, but when their lives begin to cross again secrets are starting to come to light and the darkness that destroyed Koah brings Tori to her knees. Their story isn’t easy as they both have a lot of demons to overcome and life keeps knocking them down, but when their truths are told will they be able to walk away as only friends or go against everything and everyone that is keeping them apart and find their happily ever after? My heart hurt so much for both of them because of all that was endured, and the pain left a mark on me as I read. Koah deserves nothing but happiness and yet the darkness tries to consume him and keep him down until Tori. This was a beautiful story with some very real traumas and the author took those and made us feel so much for the characters and anyone dealing with them. I loved how through each other they were able to navigate the pain and help see each other through and man Joker is going to be a wild story that I know will knock me to my knees.
