Very good read I read the entire series in just a couple of days. I read one, and then just had to get to the next one. Very satisfying ending also Endings are as important as beginnings. |

who is that? I didn't know . I looked into those eyes as if they had the answer to who I am
or who I could be."
So I would search the depths of those green and blue flecked eyes.
Calmly searching the eyes of this stranger as if I thought that if I looked deep enough, or long enough, I would find the answer to why I was even here.
I didn't know what I know now.
That I could only find out my identity,

“But believe me, there is beauty in it still. Truth. The light of freshness is buried in us and in every moment we breathe. It is there. Sometimes we are so encrusted, so rotted over with misery, bad situations, that we can’t see it. Feel it. But it is there.”
