My Review

 

Like others, I was like WTF just happened in the end.  Not that I didn’t have a couple of those moments through the story. 

Again, this book is told through book Alexa’s and Nelly’s perspective.  At times it felt like I was diving into madness.  It had a similar feel to it like “Joe” did in a way.  This story is darker than the last.

Where Alexa is really becoming the woman she is meant to be, Nelly, well, I won’t spoil it.  Kayden is his ever holy hotness self.  Yum.  Jackson isn’t who I thought him to be from either of the two previous books, but he does do the ultimate thing to redeem himself.  I can see why Alexa has feelings for them both on some level.

Overall, this book really sets up what is to come.  I’m not sure how my heart will handle.  If anything, this book proves not to hold onto anyone dear.  There are no guarantees. 

My book boyfriend, Jackson.
