***4 "Forever!!!" stars***

[image error]

"Love isn't a weakness, sweetheart. It's something to fight for. Something to live for."

It was so good that we went back to the Rixon universe for one more time!!!
I love many of Ms. Cotton's stories, but this particular series (both the old and new generation) are holding a special place in my heart.
Even though it is bittersweet to finally say goodbye, I loved seeing the new generation getting older and choosing the paths of their lives...

"We were no longer kids with big dreams and hopes for the future.
We were adults now.
With our own lives, making those childhood dreams come true."

The author had focused in one particular couple in here, Lily and Kaiden, but that doesn't mean that we didn't take POV's from all the rest of the gang...
The summer after college graduation, all the gang is coming back to Rixon for one more time...
Lily and Kaiden have to be separated this summer because he is starting summer camp for the Kansas Wild football team... Imagine that!!! Kaiden finally did it, he got into NFL, but now he has to face a new challenge without his girl by his side...
Lily's old demons are rearing their ugly heads on her for once again and she is feeling insecure about what her and Kaiden's future will hold...

"Football was his priority now. Not me."

I loved seeing these guys turning around their lives... They are getting older and things are changing drastically... But their only constant is the bonds that they have forged with each other...
Their love for their match is always there and the love for their friends and family is bounding them forever...
I just have to mention how much I adore the first crew of Rixon Raiders whom are delightful to see them as parents...
I just love this world very much!!!
If you haven't met none of these guys, you don't know what you're missing!!!

"Our lives were changing, moving in diferent directions, and pulling us apart.
But one thing would always remain.
We'd always be family."

Bittersweet. Another completed L.A. Cotton series with all the feels.

I absolutely love all the Rixon books. Each couple has to work to get their happy ending and it’s so worth it. Forever Goals is the reward for loving the characters and makes a great final chapter.

I hate goodbyes but glad to get one last hurrah from the series. Highly recommended book. You need to read the others in the series first. This did not disappoint.

[The Romantic Rush Blog · Rating 5 out of 5]

The perfect finale for the Rixon High! Forever Goals is a heartfelt, humorous, and perfectly nostalgic victory lap for this charming and deliciously angsty next gen series. LA Cotton has written a meaty extended epilogue that is truly for the fans. Every couple has a moment to shine, while LA also brings the story full circle. Back to where it began, back to its roots. Even the OGs get to have some fun. What a triumphant, endearing, and effervescent fond farewell to these beloved characters. My heart is full of Rixon pride…and so much love. Play hard, fight hard, love hard. But in the end they love the hardest, because love is always worth fighting for.

Play hard. Fight hard. Love hard.

Rixon and the families that live in this world will always be one of my all time favourites and will forever be special to me. There’s just something about the whole found family aspect of this world that is utter magic.

I really don’t want to say goodbye to Rixon so I’ll keep my fingers crossed that we may see more of these characters soon. (A girl can dream.)

If you haven’t met the Rixon Raiders and their brood
yet then what are you waiting for? The Rixon Raiders cast will have you enthralled and lost in the pages of a world you never want to leave. Sports romance at its best.

[Hopelessly Addicted To Books · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is time to do the impossible, we have to say goodbye to all the characters from the Rixon High series. This is an extended epilogue for the fans and if you've not read any of them you really have missed out. Although the main focus is on one particular couple we catch up with all of them and it was a joy to read. I laughed and I cried at this nostalgic look back at where it all started but one thing has remained the same and that is the bond the guys formed and then by extension the women they fell in love with. I loved the little cameos from the OG who are just as I remembered them, age really hasn't changed them at all. I cannot wait to see what is next from this author.

[FS Meurinne · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the amazing conclusion to the Rixon High series by L.A. Cotton. It's all about Kaiden and Lily, but we also catch up with the rest of the gang. I laughed, cried, and felt so nostalgic. The story tackles their fears, insecurities, and life after graduation. Football is a big part too, as Kaiden chases his NFL dreams. The story captures their bond and shows us that love and friendship are worth fighting for. It's heartfelt and funny, and I couldn't be prouder of these characters. If you haven't read this series, you're seriously missing out on an incredible journey with unforgettable characters!

this was fine. lily’s fears got annoying at a few points cause like girl calm tf down. i liked getting to see everyone else’s stories wrap up. overall good but just kinda average like i didn’t have many thoughts. i always want more from these stories than i get. i liked getting to see their relationships again but just nothing about lily freaking out made any sense like girl he has done nothing to make you worry so it was just a little annoying.

Play hard. Fight hard. Love hard.

Forever Goals by L.A. Cotton is here, the sixth and final book in Rixon High series. Delivering the ultimate conclusion.
Although the story does mostly focus on Kaiden Thatcher and Lily May Ford. It is told through multiple POVs from the majority of the Next Generation gang presented throughout Rixon High series, showcasing everyone's finale all wrapped into one.

In the conclusion, we follow Kaiden and Lily as they navigate through their somewhat rocky journey of what the future has in store for them. Considering the uphill battles they were having to face and overcome, both individually and simultaneously.
Ultimately leading to quite an emotionally charged ride for the two, especially Lily, due to all that she was dealing with.
As for the rest of the characters Avery and Miley, Xander and Peyton, Ashleigh and Ezra, Sofia and Cole, Poppy and Aaron, Bryan and Carrie and Gavin and Penelope, Lianne allowed us glances into their lives too through their POVs. Resulting in showcasing where they were heading in terms of their futures too. Whilst making sure to bring it back full circle, since their connections had them all connecting with one another in someway, shape or form.

Reading Forever Goals was truly bittersweet, knowing that after the last page had been turned, it was the end.
And not just for this series, but the end to the Rixon world, which Lianne had me following along when it all began back in 2019 with Cam and Hailee’s story The Trouble With You from Rixon Raiders series.
Which is why you couldn't help but feel the emotions on an even more profound level.

Did the narrative have me wishing for more from some of the other characters such as Ashleigh and Ezra and their POVs? Yes, of course. But alas it is what it is.

Yet despite that, Lianne still came through with delivering a wonderful story that tied up all the loose ends, once and for all. Resulting in Forever Goals being a great read that was truly enjoyable. Finishing on the ultimate HEA that allowed all the characters to have the ending they all deserved.
And even though it’s sad knowing the chapter has officially closed on this 4 year journey, here’s to hoping that L.A. Cotton will one day come back to it, one day in the future, even if it's as a small short.

Oh my heart 😭

This year has seen multiple "end of an era" series for me from The Four, The Rebels of Sandland and The Kid of the District, all series I loved and accepted I had to say goodbye to. But nothing could have prepared me for the end of the Rixon Raiders. I fell in love in 2019 with the Rixon world, and that love only got more intense as the years have gone on. I actually put off reading this epilogue because mentally I wasn't ready to say goodbye, and if you're wondering if I read this through a constant stream of tears and being a slave to my feelings, yeah I totally did.

But how could I not?! This series was really the start of my great love of Sports Romance. L.A. captured me and opened my eyes to something I never knew I needed in my life. And if you haven't dived into this world, here is why I am so obsessed and so sad it's over:

The most epic sports romance
3 original Rixon Raiders who fall arse over elbow in love
3 original badass and strong FMCs
A second generation of kids who are all the best parts of their parents
Uncountable different hurdles and adversities for each couple
13 books, novellas, and Epilogues.
1 totally unforgettable universe and endless love between a found family that you'll never get over.

I will always love how Lily isn't what you expect Jason Ford's daughter to be like and how she found her anchor in Kaiden, the unexpected Son of Lewis Thatcher (still hate that guy)
I'll always laugh at Asher and his childish ways even now in his late 40s, and how Jase and Cam just put up with him and never want him to change.
I'll always swoon over Jason Ford and his alphahole younger self turned into an adoring father and besotted husband.
I'll always be in awe of the crossovers between everyone and how they all found their great loves.
And I'll always get goosebumps when they remember to Play hard, Fight Hard and Love Hard.

Thank you @authorlacotton for giving us this world, you'll never know just how much it has meant to me!

Raiders Forever!

[Books, Booze & Bon Voyage (Krista Webster) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Forever Goals by LA Cotton brings to a conclusion her Rixon High series. This epilogue looks at how everything’s changing for this group and poses the question what does the future hold for them all. This is a nostalgic look back at where this group started as the story centres around Lily and Kaiden but everyone makes an appearance and has their POV. They have all gathered back at Rixon for a celebration.

“Sometimes love isn’t enough.”

Lily is struggling with having Kaiden going off to rookie training camp as he has been picked up by the Kansas Wild for a chance to make his dreams come true and play for the NFL. All her friends and family rally round to help but her old insecurities and doubts creep in and puts a strain on their relationship. She starts worrying if she is cut out for a life being the girlfriend of an NFL star especially as he hasn’t proposed yet

Football is Kaidens passion but she is his anchor and everything to him. He’d helped her to learn to love herself while falling in love with him and they have just spent four years together at college. Now everything he’s worked for is possible but it means they must overcome a separation.

Both are scared for different reasons so can they survive being apart? However, they aren’t the only ones coping with changes because Peyton and Xander are expecting and Avery and Miley are getting married. They aren’t kids anymore but adults with their own lives and trying to make their dreams come true.

“Play Hard….Fight Hard…..Love Hard.”

Although it’s sad to leave this world, I enjoyed catching up with both generations. These parents and their kids have shown what family and friendship really means, and how love can endure whatever life throws at you. LA has tied up all the loose ends and given us a lovely way to say goodbye to everyone.

I almost didn't want to read this because I didn't want to say goodbye to these characters. It's always such an extremely bittersweet moment to finish a well-loved series. Reaching the end of Forever Goals, my heart was so incredibly full yet also a bit empty.

If you've loved this series, then don't miss out on saying goodbye to all the characters by picking up this epilogue novel. Lianne did an amazing job saying goodbye to this world. This book is filled with so so much love. You get to see every single one of the couples in this world and it was beyond heartwarming to get to see them all living their lives and being happy. Some sweeter than others. And don't worry, there was plenty of spice, too.

Lianne gave us everyone's POVs (at least all the main couples) and it was glorious to see them all again. Although there was one couple that was the main focus of this book, Lily & Kaiden. These two sure made it very angsty, but I loved seeing them work through the lows and doing everything for those highs. It was such a good ending for them. But everyone had their moment to shine, even the parents, and it just had me all in my feels the whole time while I was reading. Forever Goals truly is a must-read for fans of the Rixon world!

The title of this novel couldn’t be more perfect. Forever Goals may essentially be Kaiden and Lily’s story as they are starting a new chapter in their lives, however, in reality, it is so much more. Written perfectly by L.A. Cotton using multi POVs, this Rixon High epilogue enables all the incredible couples that we have grown to know and love over the years to share their stories with us. We get to see where they are now and how life has been for them these past few years. There are some truly amazing moments to savour.

If this narrative doesn’t both hurt your heart and warm your heart then these incredible characters aren’t in your heart like they are in mine! I may be sad that my time with the OG and new generation of Rixon is over for now, however, I have gained so much comfort and joy through reading Forever Goals. I would love to have epilogues of this nature released periodically please Ms. Cotton. I want and need to know that all is well in this world.

If you haven’t as yet met those from Rixon then I highly recommend that you do! My advice is to go back to the very beginning and start this incredible journey with the original Raiders and their leading ladies in the Rixon Raiders series. Don’t stop there but carry on with Rixon High and enjoy the next generation too. I am certain that you will never be left feeling disappointed. Both series receive a 5-star rating from me and I have loved the emotional roller coaster ride every story in the series has taken me on.

Never forget the three simple rules for a happy life. Play hard. Fight hard. Love hard.

Raiders forever!!

[Cristina · Rating 5 out of 5]

“You know, a wise man once told me you only needed to follow three rules for a happy life. Play hard. Fight hard. Love hard.” 🥲

The perfect ending! I’m a mess, I can’t believe it’s over😭 I love this world so much, I love these characters and wish they were real. I want to be apart of their friend group 🥹

This was so bittersweet, I never wanted this book or this series to end. But all good things must come to an end. I couldn’t wait to see what everyone was up to and what has happened since their high school days.

We get all of their POVs, and I was getting emotional with so many little things said. I love all these couples and characters but Lily and Kaiden are my absolute favorites and lily ford is one of my favorite book characters ever!🤍Seeing where those two are now omg I was a mess (and of course there’s a happy ending for everyone!) but when you read you’ll understand why I was a mess. I’m also just an emotional person LMAO but also seeing how far lily has come I’m so proud of her 😭🫶🏻

There was so many great group moments too and I love how the parents are always included. I mean how could they not be they are the OGs 😌 they never changed and I love how much shit they gave their kids when it came to their relationships as if they weren’t the same way hahaha

The end of an era 🥹 but omg LA Cotton teasing that there were plot bunnies in here and as I’m reading I’m like I would totally love this characters book 👀 so ready for anything else that is too come, because cameos from these characters would be amazing 🥰

🖤 Colaboración 🖤


🌹Hola amores de las letras, aquí vengo con la reseña de mi última lectura, una epílogo que cierra la serie Rixon High, serie que se ha robado entero mi corazón,igual que como lo hicieron sus padres.

¿Estás preparada para la última jugada?

🥀Kaiden Tacher tiene un título universitario, a Lily, y está apunto de conseguir una oportunidad de jugar en la NFL.

🥀Lily Ford ha luchado contra sus inseguridades, sus miedos, pero ahora con la partida de Kaiden al campamento una vocecita le susurra y le hace tambalear sus muros.

Tendrán su final para siempre? O el amor no será suficiente...

🌹Esta contado por varios personajes, así sentimos, vivimos lo que ellos y eso a mí me encanta.

🌹He disfrutado de cada página que me ha mantenido atrapada, de cada capítulo que me decía vamos a por otro, de cada escena que me hacía sentir miles de emociones, de cada uno de sus personajes pero Kaiden es mi favorito junto a Cole, vale va lo son todos ya que cada uno a su manera me ha robado el corazón junto a sus mujeres, ellas han logrado que se arrodillen y juren amor eterno. El para siempre.

🌹Ha sido bonito ir viendo cómo han crecido como personas y como esa gran familia que son y que a mí me encantaría formar parte. Porque son lo más, son especiales y se merecen todo lo bueno que les depare el futuro.

🌹Me he emocionado hasta el punto de llorar por emoción, porque han sido tan tan, que se te encoge el corazón al pensar en que ya no leerás más de ellos.
Ha sido un bonito acompañarlos a lo largo de cada historia.

Lo recomiendo 💯.

Play hard, Fight hard, Love hard!

Man, to see this series come to an end is so sad, but what a freaking way to end!

Forever Goals is centralized around Kaiden and Lily as both have just graduated from college and Kaiden is about to start his professional career. These two have made it through the ups and downs and forever is on the horizon. Well hopefully. Kaiden has to go to rookie camp and Lily makes the decision to spend time in Rixon with family. Life is not always easy, and though these two know it the challenges ahead are there to test and hopefully strengthen them.

My favorite thing is that this book is a true gift to those that have enjoyed all the moments with our Rixon family. We get to spend time with each of the couples- Avery and Miley, Peyton and Xavier, Ezra and Ashleigh, Aaron and Poppy, and Sofia and Cole. We get to see where they are all at and how life has been these past few years. There are some truly amazing moments to enjoy, and I am forever grateful that we got this special time with them, even if it is for the last time. My heart is full and in total joy.

This book 😭 I laughed, I cried and I'm seriously going to miss these guys! I have loved every minute of the OG and #nextgen series 💙 I'm not sure I'm ready to say goodbye. I hope its not good bye and it's just a see you soon! I hope that we get to catch up with them in the future ❤️

This last book is based around Lily and Kaiden but we do get POV's from everyone which I really enjoyed. It meant that we caught up with everyone and reading about them was like coming home to family and friends. I really don't want to spoil anything about this book, but just know it's a must read if you've read the series and it will give you all the feels.

Lianne can I have Jase please now that you've finished writing the series? You know he's my #1 and you know my address to forward him too 😉 Please and thank you 🙏🏻 #QB1

In all seriousness, if you haven't started this series start with Cam and Hailee's story from the OG series. It really is amazing and Lianne has built this whole new world that will just suck you right in and you won't ever want to leave! Hats off Lianne, this series will always be one of my favourites 💙

What a way to close the second generation.

Years have passed and each one continues with his life. Facing new challenges together.

I liked reading the pov of each one and seeing how their love paid off. Although I would have liked one of Carrie's... but hey.

The one that doesn't seem to get along in our Lily Ford who has to face the most important challenge, survive the summer separated from Kaiden since he managed to be recruited to the NFL and go to camp, but his past demons will return and with it his insecurities.

Lily has her fears and doubts and so Kaiden has them too, but her love is quite big and strong, they just had to remember it.

But we see them struggle against new challenges and obstacles to finally get their happily ever after.

I liked the support provided by their friends, to help them overcome this new challenge. Showing the family they were. While showing us what their future held for each one.

And in this official way we close this saga with characters that have given us many joys, sadness and of course headaches.  And so we say goodbye to the 2nd generation. Thank you Lianne for these beautiful stories that stole our hearts.

[ReadonReader · Rating 5 out of 5]

It’s so hard to say goodbye to something that has brought me so much love and happiness in each story, but if it had to be done this was the perfect way to go. In this book we have Kaiden and Lily’s future that lies ahead of them as they face the new chapter in their lives. We all know that it’s not easy for Lily when things change and we know that her own mind is her worst enemy, but now she faces the ultimate test of her and Kaiden’s relationship. While this story focuses on these next steps for them it also shows us all of Rixon couples and the direction that they are going. I absolutely love this whole clan and my heart hurt for Lily and the battles she always had within herself, but seeing Kaiden always there showing he is her home will always have me falling in love. My heart breaks that this is the end, but I am hopeful we will see the Rixon universe again down the road and it’s not goodbye forever because I will always keep reading my men repeatedly.

[Julie D (Audio and Book Jewels) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Although the book focuses on Lily and Kaiden, we also learn more about other couples in the series.

Lily spent her college years overcoming fear, anxiety and doubts… whether she was good enough.. to have the life she wants for her and Kaiden. But when Kaiden goes off to his rookie training camp.. she feels like maybe it’s a test they cannot pass. We all know Lily and Kaiden.. and we know what they’ve dealt with in the past. And, not that I wanted to see it end, but getting to find out what happens with them and the others as well makes it such a great read!

this was an excellent book, part of an amazing series, and I recommend each and every one of them. LA Cotton is extremely good at what she does, and her books are well written, detailed,and so very fun and easy to read. She will make you love reading.. and draw you into the worlds she’s created and make you love them the way I do. Try them!! You’ll love them!!

[Daphne thebook.momster · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved reading about all the couples again. I am very sad that the second generation is now finished but i cant’t wait to read more football book by L.A. Cotton.

This book concludes all couples and their happy ending for now. I really liked how real-life struggles were written down and how thoughts of characters were written.

You will read about everything, pregnancy, marriage, traveling, moving away.

I loved how Ash and Jason were included. I really liked that Xander en Peyton had a big part in this book.

I really felt for Lilly and could totally understand het struggles.

I loved how full of life Sophia is. I laughed so much about Poppy and Aaron. Aaron is such a copy of his dad.

This is a multiple p.o.v. Book.
Its the final book of this series, i recommend you read all the previous books before reading this one.

Forever Goals is everything we hoped it would be and more! This author knows how to write one heck of an ending, and this was it. Be prepared to experience every single feeling as we say goodbye to the Rixon Raiders one final time. Seeing these fan favorite characters all grown up, living their lives and having plans was such an added treat to this entire series. I loved revisiting each couple, even if it was only for a bit, and it was so sweet to focus in on Kaiden and Lily's next adventure after graduating from college. They have been through a lot, and while Lily has gotten better, she still struggles with changes, so the question was if their relationship would persevere through these latest changes. An absolutely stellar send-off, this series has carried readers through an emotional rollercoaster the past few years, and while it is bittersweet to see it end, we got one heck of an ending! Bravo!

התחלתי טיפונת את הספר באנגלית ועצרתי כהספרים הושקו בהוצאת טורקיז ואמרתי שאני אקרא את הספר האחרון בעברית .

,בשונה ממשחק הגמר שהוא היה הספר האפילוג של ריקסון ריידרס הספר הזה הוא לא על כל הזוגות אלא שהעלילה יותר מתמקדת בלילי וקיידן והחיים שלהם אחרי הקולג' ,לקיידן יש מחנה אימונים למשך כל הקיץ , ולילי נשארת בריקסון עם משפחתה ,בתחילת הספר רואים את החששות של לילי וקיידן בקשר לקשר שלהם שהם יהיו רחוקים אחד מהשנייה .

בנוסף יש נקודות מבט של כל הדמויות מהספרים הקודמים בסדרה אבל הנקודות מבט שלהם סובבות כלפי המערכת יחסים של לילי וקיידן מה שכן קצת איכזב אותי כי צפיתי לנקודות מבט שעוסקות בזוגות האחרים גם כמו שהיה במשחק הגמר והיו דמויות שממש רציתי עוד מהם .

הספר האהוב עליי הוא עדיין כמובן שקרים טרגיים כי אני פשוט מאוהבת קשות בזאנדר ופייטון וכל כך רציתי שיקרה בספר הזה משהו שקשור אליהם וזה לא קרה אפילו לא הוזכר באפילוג ואני כל כך מבואסת מזה .

ממליצה לכם על סדרת תיכון ריקסון ,סדרת פוטבול על בחורים שמכורים לפוטבול ולבחורות שלהם ,ועל דמויות צעירות שעוברות קשיים גדולים .

Forever goals” is the perfect way to close out this series. I have loved every single book in the “Rixon high” series. In many ways it’s such a bitter sweet moment when you have to say goodbye to characters you love.

L A Cotton has yet again has written such a heart felt wonderful story, and I couldn’t love it any more than what I did. “Forever goals” was absolutely perfect in every way.

We’ve watched these characters learn and grow from teenagers to young adults. We’ve watched them fall in love. What I loved most about this story is that we got to see how their lives turned out after to high school. “Forever goals” was nothing short of magical.

If you haven’t started this series yet then I Highly suggest you do! You are definitely missing out on a phenomenal series. The “Rixon High” series is a series that I will carry with me for a long time coming.

“Play hard, fight hard, love hard”.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

This was such a bittersweet ending to the Rixon world! If I could take one thing away from this world it would be that LA Cotton thrived here! This was absolutely the series I felt that she used her whole self to write.

Forever Goals is the final book in the Rixon High series that has multiple POVs of the characters and we find out where they’ve been and how they lives will be. I love these characters so much. They always talk about family and it being their strongest quality and I really felt they portrayed it wholeheartedly. I love seeing the laughs and the memories. I love the hint of spice between the characters and just their way to always choose each other. These characters are special to me and I’ll forever be a fan.

I definitely feel if you’ve read this series, you need to read this one. If you haven’t yet, this book is your sign to start the Rixon world!!

It’s the perfect end to a world we’ve lived through for four years now. This extended epilogue book gives us our final goodbye to a group of characters that have embodied so many real life issues and I for one will miss this world. With glimpses from all of the Rixon high lads and ladies to watching the OG Raiders become parents wondering ‘were we really like this at that age?!’ The answer yes intact they were quite possibly a little worse.

I have loved this world since I devoured Cam and Hayley’s story, in one sitting. Saying goodbye to this world is hard but you never know we might see some of these characters pop up in future books.

I look forward to reading whatever LA Cotton has coming next and if you haven’t started this series yet you should definitely give it a read.

The bittersweet ending to Rixon High!

I put off reading this because I didn't want to say goodbye, but Lianne wrote this in the most beautiful way, and diving back in felt like coming home 💙

Being a part of this family and seeing them all grow is just something special, I could almost swear I was right there with them, having the family BBQs, laughing and smiling along to their antics, and watching them live out their dreams and hitting milestones with tears in my eyes.

I got goosebumps when I saw who the very last POV was, full circle 💙

What a victory lap, a very fond farewell to this world and these characters... Although I hope its not the last we see of them... 👀

One Final Play and one last time to meet this characters... It was amazing but at the same time, it's a little bittersweet. I'm SO not ready for all goodbye(s) today.

Rixon Raiders is one of my faves bookish places. Rixon High was more than captivating. Author did it again - she delivered angst wrenching but also heart melting story, that left me breathless. This novela isn't very long but at the same moment it's perfect. Author showed us the story line thru many points of view and I loved how it worked. I could feel again like I'm a part of these families and their friends.

This book was brilliant and I couldn't put it down. The ending for this series couldn't be more perfect.

נובלה של כל הזוגות אבל בעיקר מתמקדת בזוג הראשון של הסדרה- לילי וקיידן והדרך שלהם בעתיד הזוהר והקשיים שמלווים אותם.
קיידן מתקבל לשחק בליגה של הגדולים, ולילי מפחדת מהשינוי הגדול, הפחדים מהעבר שלה מציפים אותה והיא מפחדת לאבד את קיידן, כשהוא לא משנה מה תמיד יבחר בה.
באמת שהוא אחד הגברים האהובים עלי בסדרה הזאת והקודמת!
הוא תמיד שם לצידה לחזק אותה ולפעמים הרגיש לי שהיא כבר קצת מקשה עליו , אבל אני גם מבינה אותה.
הנובלה גם מראה את כל הדמויות ואת ההתקדמות בחיים שלהם ואת האבות המסכנים שסובלים מהקארמה שחזרה אליהם ובגדול🤣 בעיקר ג׳ייסון המסכן.
סה״כ נהנתי מהספר והסדרה, נובלה שמוסיפה וסוגרת את כל הפינות.
הזוגות האהובים עליי מהסדרה של דור הילדים : לילי וקיידן ופייטון וזאנדר.
