“Alis volat propriis” - She flies with her own wings
This book picks up from exactly where we were left at the end of Metamorphosis. You know that part where Scarlett finally returns from her eight month hiatus, and back into the arms of the awesome, sweet and sexy bad boy rocker Mason, and they all lived happily ever after.
Or so we thought...
After Scarlett returns, she and Rat (seriously worst nickname ever) have some serious shit they gotta work through, where has she been, why did she leave? Is she better? most importantly why is she back and is she back for good, but first they're literally gonna screw like bunnies and hopefully all will be well and right in the world. Well..it was until secrets, lies and unresolved feelings come into play.
Ash (boooooo...) has been waiting for the day that his Butterfly would return. Although he never would've guessed that when she did return, it would be into the arms of another man. Scarlett is his true love, the Psyche to his Eros and the other half of his soul.
Scarlett has issues and insecurities that run deep into her very core. She has lost her best friend, had her heart torn out by the person she believed was her soul mate and has betrayed a man who would walk to hell and back for her.
Although she has made amends with her past, her mistakes, has taken responsibility for them and is ready to move forward with her life with Mason.
You know when you think things are gonna get better and then we can all skip around holding hands in a field full of bunnies and rainbows and butterflies...? Well if we had that then there would've been no need for all the hard liquor and anti anxiety pills I had to use while reading this book, so yeah you could probably guess what I'ma say next.
IT ALL TURNS TO SHIT...and that is when this story gets a hell of a lot more interesting.
I seriously haven't experienced such inner turmoil, anxiety and indecision in my life! And this book has ruined me...I tell yah RUINED ME!! I hated it! BUT I also loved it!
I had to seriously put my iPad down for fear of unnecessary outbursts or acts of violence towards it, even with the extra padding. I also decided to take my main gal Anna's suggestions and armed myself with some Tequila, Xanax and Tissues you know for all the ugly crying and panic attacks I had while reading this!
Throughout the story I was back and forth, back and fifth, even back and sixth but the one thing that remained true was my love and devotion to resident bad boy rocker Mason! TEAM MASON BITCHES...!!
Ok yeah he fucked up BIG time with the whole keeping secrets thing, and yeah Ash won some brownie points for his beautiful words but even with all the schmoozing, understanding and that gorgeous song at the wedding...god I love Secondhand Serenade...(which will be played frequently in my bedtime playlist) yes I will admit that was beautiful and I even teared up just a little...Damn you Ash for making me like you...but I don't know about you but I seriously think he had some sort of brain transplant in this book. He has given up the life of whoredom and is a saint and quite frankly I found him boring, predictable and well a SUCK UP...! Yeah I said it! A huge ass suck up!! *please don't hate me* (you know who you ladies are...) ;)
Anyways...I went into this book knowing that I would be emotionally wrecked and I have left this being that and so much more!
I absolutely loved this book, I hated Scarlett for her indecisiveness, insecurities, her lack of trust and ability to COMMUNICATE!! Seriously I wanted to bitch slap her from Chapter One, by halfway I was in full on beat down mode...and believe me that would not have been pretty!!
All in all this was an awesome sequel to Metamorphosis and I really am itching to get my hands on Euphoria! Ms Noelle you have written a remarkable book and though I am Team Mason all the way I really would like to see that they all have their very own HEA, especially Max!
“I owed my happiness to both of them. One taught me how to fly like an angel ~ to free my spirit, to accept forgiveness, and to love without restraint. The other had taught me to fly like a butterfly ~ to embrace change, to celebrate innocence and vulnerability, and to open up my soul. Together, they had both given me the courage and the strength to fly with my own wings.”
May the best man win.
