Until Trilogy #1
Until He Was Gone
Si Klare Montefalco ay ipinanganak sa isang kilala at marangyang pamilya. Everything is perfect. Mahal siya ng pamilya niya at mahal din niya ang mga ito. Her life is simple. No drama, no sweat, no nonsense. Nang tumibok ang puso niya, doon niya napagtanto na ang bawat pader na inakala niya'y matibay ay natitibag din. Na lahat ng pinakaiingatan niya ay maaring mawala sa kanya. Dahil may mga pag ibig na kahit anong gawing iwas mo ay lagi kang tinatamaan. Iyong pag ibig na umiilag ka na, bull's eye ka pa rin. Iyong tipong sinarado mo na ang pinto mo, pilit paring kumakatok. But Klare's fierce, she wouldn't let that happen. No. She will risk her heart just to protect her comfort zone, her home, her everything.
Ngunit sa pagkawala ng pag ibig niya, doon lang din ba niya mapagtatanto kung ano ang nawala sa kanya? That she had lost everything when she let him go? Is she ready to fight for it now? Now that he's gone?
Ngunit sa pagkawala ng pag ibig niya, doon lang din ba niya mapagtatanto kung ano ang nawala sa kanya? That she had lost everything when she let him go? Is she ready to fight for it now? Now that he's gone?

I liked this before but I rlly came to my senses and made up my mind that this story promotes pseudo-incest.

Kung may isang akdang from Wattpad na super worth-it i-publish, ito yun. Napakaganda ng pagkakasulat sa kwento nito. Alam niyo yung 5 elements of a story (plot, characters, setting, conflict and theme)? Those elements are marvelously executed in this tale. Sa galing ng pagkakasulat, grabe ang buhos ng mga emotions mo dito.
And let me remind you, trilogy ang kwento nito. The next two books are: Until He Returned and last but not the least, Until Forever.
If ever you've already read the story, makaka-relate ka sa mga sasabihin ko.
Maaari mong i-consider na "incest" story ito kasi nga love story siya ng mag-pinsan. Pero, ang plus side ay hindi ka mandidiri.
Alam mo yung pakiramdam na gustong-gusto mong i-ship sina Klare and Elijah pero pinipigilan ka ng utak mo kasi nga they're cousins.I might have shipped Klare and Eion but it was short-lived. Why? Kasi, mas malakas talaga yung feels ko sa KlariJah eh. Tipong wala namang cues saying Klare and Elijah will end up together pero...yung dating talaga ng dialogues nila! Madadama mo talaga yung chemistry between them.
Another thing Iliked loved about this story is the DRAMA in it. Minsan kasi, sa ibang kwento ang OA lang ng pasok ng drama. Minsan nauumay ka na lang pero dito sa UHWG, tamang timpla lang. Walang labis, walang kulang.
I don't wanna say too much. Just go to Jonaxx's profile, find this story and read it! It would sooo worth your time. And tears, if need be.
Since na-publish na rin yung Mapapansin Kaya ni Jonaxx and upcoming ang Heartless, sana ito rin kunin ng Summit Media.

*If you haven't read the story, better not to read this review because of spoilers.:)*
I've been reading stories in Wattpad for over four years now. Watty and I had this sort of falling out on my second year of reading, which lasted for about a year. I just resumed my reading spree on the third year.
I started with Alyloony's stories then I found my way to Haveyouseenthisgirl's stories. Then I stumbled upon Alesana Marie and Aril Daine's stories after that I settled with Blacklily's works. After Blacklily, I somehow stopped reading wattpad stories.
I resumed reading in wattpad when two of my supervisors at work recommended their favorite stories. One of the story they gave me was this one.
I started reading the Until Trilogy with no idea of what the premise of the story is about. All I know is that it's a love story. I could still remember being confused because I'm already at chapter 10 but I still haven't read about Klare's love interest. Klare is always with her cousins. At first I thought it was Eion, but my supervisor said it wasn't him. Sa sobrang curious ko,kinulit ko sya if sino ba talaga ang bidang lalaki sa kwento. Pero ayaw sabihin sakin. Secret daw at magugulat na lang ako. Kaya lang may pagka-pasaway ako, kaya naman I skimmed the last chapter pero sawi pa din ako kasi pangalan pa din ng mga pinsan ni Klare ang napansin ko.
Then it hit me.
I slammed my phone in the nurse's station table and looked at my supervisor with wide bulging eyes and blurted these words that earned me a confused look from the people near us. "Oh my gods! Incest! In-love siya sa pinsan niya? " Tawa ng tawa yung bisor ko at sinabi na ipagpatuloy ko na lang ang pagbabasa kasi sigurado siyang magugustuhan ko naman yung kwento.
So, I did. I continued reading. Damn it, if I didn't because I fell in love with Elijah Montefalco. I fell so damn hard. I am wishing and hoping for Klare and Elijah's happy ending even though I know that their love is forbidden. Sino ba naman kasing hindi mai-inlove kay Elijah? Tattoo na lang nya ang sexy na i-imagine tapos babanatan ka pa ng ganitong linya:
"Run Klare. Cause I'm done running. I can't run anymore. And God knows I can't even walk away.."
Kikiligin ka naman talaga sa mga banat at the moves ni Elijah kahit na minsan ako na yung kinakabahan para sa kanila. May pagka-obvious kasing gumalaw itong si Elijah, haha.
Pero kahit na masaya si Klare, ramdam na ramdam ko yung hirap na nararamdaman niya kasi nga bawal. Mali. Hindi pwede. Taboo. Ako yung nasaktan nung galit na galit sa kanya si Erin nung mabuko na sila. Gustong gusto kong sabunutan at sampalin si Erin para kay Klare kahit na alam kong may point yung galit ni Erin.
Tapos nung nalaman na ng buong angkan nila ang tungkol sa kanilang dalawa, sobra sobra yung luha ko. It was so heart breaking. Paano ka pipili kung parehas ayaw mong mawala sayo? Tapos yung scene pa na nag-uusap si Klare at Elijah para makipaghiwalay si Klare kasi yung pamilya nila ang pinili nya.
"Klare, baby, please. Please choose me this time. Please be with me. Magiging okay tayong dalawa. I'll work hard for us. We don't need our families' support. I only need you. I know I only need you."
Ang sakit lang. Promise. Affected na affected ako. Kawawa naman ang baby kong si Elijah. Handa siyang sumagal eh. Handa siyang talikuran ang lahat. Handa siyang lumaban para kay Klare. Pero paano ka nga naman lalaban kung yung taong pinaglalaban mo ang kusa ng sumuko?
Nasasaktan pa din ako hanggang ngayon kahit na ilang beses ko na tong nabasa. Masakit talaga eh.
You can read the full story in Wattpad.

"Klare, isang salita mo lang na mahal mo ulit ako ay ipaglalaban kita hanggang sa maubos ako."
GOD I WANT TO READ A TEEN FICTION BECAUSE I CAN'T EVEN CONTAIN MY FEELS AFTER READING SOME CHAPTERS OF Heir of Fire. A TEEN FICTION THAT WILL PROBABLY TAKE THE PAIN AWAY. I THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST AN ORDINARY HIGH SCHOOL STORY. A LOVE STORY THAT WILL BE GOING TO FILL MY STOMACH WITH SO MUCH BUTTERFLIES THAT I CAN'T EVEN HOLD MY FEELS. BUT THIS WAS SO MORE THAN THAT. OH MY GODS MY FRIEND DIDN'T EVEN WARN ME ABOUT THIS. TOO MUCH PAIN GAAAAAAHHHHHH

the way this book had everyone in a chokehold before—that was the peak wattpad experience for me. although, rereading it now at this age, when i can finally see the subtle enabler tendencies of incest, this has become a guilty pleasure read for me. u know, sometimes, reading books requires no brain at all, and you just enjoy it for the vibes.

JONAXX WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME
April 15, 2018
To be honest, I really loved this story when I first read it. To the point na I actually think that I'm in love with the characters! Like seriously in love. I love the plot development the character development and everything!
I love how Klare evolved from being scared to being a bold and strong woman. I love how you can really feel Elijah's sincerity and utmost love for Klare.
However, I think that if you read this story. You must really read it with a mature and responsible mind. One might think na "ah, okay lang pala ang incest" but no! It is wrong. It is a really risky read. One also might think na it appropriates incest love and at some point I also thought about this too. Klare pushed Elijah away because she thought na it would damage their family and it did. She wanted to fix everything they've done even though she knows what she's feeling is real. And I thank jonaxx for that; at least Klare did something na would be best for their family. Even though they're not really cousins but at that time they were. And what they had was wrong.
I have really high praise for Ate J for writing this story. It is a brave move and a risky one at that. I could feel the emotions of Klare really really well. The hesitance, love, fear and everything else.
Kaya it is really important to be mature and wise in reading. But I still love the series. The way it was written and all. However some points about their love, I believe should be more highlighted.

I felt like I'm part of this book when I was reading it. They have a unique personalities that will make you remember each of them. Unfortunately, I am grossed out by the thought that these 2 are together. I mean... I know they are not cousins by blood, even if they didn't grow together, both of your minds knew that you are cousins... I just cannot and never fathom that idea. Falling in love with your cousin (since I have an adopted cousin) made my stomach melt.

[SPOILER!!!!!]
Until Trilogy (Feels lang)
Obviously, ginagawa ko ngayon, 12:08 MN, April 5, 2015, ang feeling review na ‘to para sa obra ni ate Jonahmae Pacala, known as Jonaxx of Creative Corner and Wattpad.
_
Ang nagtulak sa akin para gaw'in ang review na ito ay dahil sa aking feels. Yes, you've read it right: feels. Hindi ko kasi alam kung paano ie-express ang sarili ko para iparating sa iba ang feels ko after kong mabasa ang trilogy sa loob ng tatlong araw. I don't know how to express these feels in a right way, walang kulang, 'yung sapat, sakto lang, at sabog lahat. Yet, alam ko rin naman sa sarili kong hindi mawawala ang mga ito dahil sobra akong nagandahan at natuwa sa daloy ng kuwento.
Everything's fresh like no one can change it. The flow, the characters, the setting... Everything. Everything's still fresh. Hindi mawala-wala sa isip ko ang flow ng story, ang pagnuod ng lahat na lumaki ang Montefalco cousins bilang magpipinsan, sa part na may nagkagustuhan, maraming umayaw dahil incest, may nagsakripisyo, may umalis para matahimik ang lahat, ang may malamang anak sa labas, sa pagnais na maibalik ang lahat, sa pagtulak sa desisyong nagawa at harapin ang kasalukuyan, sa pagpapalit ng apelyido, sa paghiwalay sa nakasanayan, sa pagpipili ng sarili sa pamilyang talagang kinabibilangan niya, sa muling pagbabalik na siya'ng may nobya na, sa muling panunuyo, sa pagkakabalikan, selosan, sa pagiging matapang, sa pagpili na sa taong mahal, sa pagiging handa sa lahat, sa pagiging matapang, sa pagharap sa mga taong may ayaw sa kanila, sa muling pagsasakripisyo, sa maling akala, sa pagkakaayos na muling humanton sa gulo, at sa kahulihan na sila parin talaga hanggang dulo;
Ang mga Montefalcos especially ang kagandahang ng pamilya nila - si Erin Louisse na totoo at straightforward at napakataas ng pride na kung saan e nagiging bitch siya na kinaiinisan ng lahat, si Chanel na nakakasundo ni Erin palagi ngunit nakakaintindi rin naman, si Josiah Travis na aakalain mong inosente pero daig ag kaplayboy-an ni Azi my loves, si Azrael Ian III na loko-loko't disgusting magsalita at kumilos in real life pero sobrang kyot kung tignan ang mga lines, si Knoxx na minsan ko lang mahagilap dahil sobrang busy sa business nila, si Claudette Jamila na pwede kong makasundo dahil sa KPOP pero hindi sa anime at 'yung mga mata niyang nagiging mala-pusa, si Damon na may Eba Ferrer at may cute na anak na si Xian, si Rafael Douglas na sobrang hot at 'di ako mapansin dahil nalululong siguro kay Tasha, si Charles na crush na crush ko dahil ang perfect tignan, si Klare na sobra kong minahal dahil sa pagiging halos perpektong babae dahil na sa kanya na ang lahat, si Justin na minsan ko lang mahagilap, si Yasmin na minsan ay naiintribidahan ako dahil sa pagiging careless niya sa t'wing may conflict at madalas ay pangunguna sa desisyon ng characters kahit na alam kong ate siya at kailangang lang alagaan ang kapatid, lastly sa magpipinsan, Elijah Riley na sobra kong kinaaadikan ngayon dahil sa personality niyang almost perfect [!!!!!] yet sometimes he didn't deserve Klare because Klare deserved the best at sa mga pinaggagawa niya noong bata pa siya, sa mga magulang nina Erin, Chanel, at Josiah na sina tito Benedict at tita Liezl, magulang nina Azi, Knoxx, at Claudette na sina tito Azrael Ian Jr. at tita Claudine, magulang nina Damon at Rafael na sina tito Stephen at tita Dana, magulang nina Charles at Klare na sina tito Lorenzo at tita Helena, at sa mga magulang nina Elijah, Yasmin, at Justin na sina tito Exel at tita Beatrice.
Tys - ang pagiging protective ng Ty brothers, Pierre at Hendrix, sa kanilang shobe na si Klare, pagiging totoo ni tita Marichelle, at ang pagiging sabik sa anak at mapagmahal na ama ni tito Ricardo, si Ama na hadlang sa mga kagustuhan ni Klare, ang mga pinsan ni Klare na impokrita especially Faina and Trixie, ang kahit papaano na kinakausap si Klare na si Cristine kahit ayaw nito sa kanya, ang mga impokrita ring tiyahin ni Klare na sina tita Luisa at tita ASDNKASHDKANAKALIMUTANKONAMEHAHAHA, at ang walang koneksyon ang apelyidong Chiong sa Ty pero apo ni Ama na si Selena the-bitch-na-sobrang-despereda-at-never-knew-na-magiging-bitch-dahil-nice-girl-daw, sa mga Cos nadamay dahil kay Ama na si Gavin, Angkong, and such.
Sa mga kaibigan nina Erin, Klare, at Chanel na sina Hannah, Liza at Julia. Ang mga Sarmiento na sina Eion at Silver. Ang nadamay na si Seymour. Ang mga nilandi ng Montefalco boys (not including Charles) (mga nabanggit lang but not sure kung lahat ba e nabanggit) na sina Alyssa, Andrea, Stephanie and such; the setting na sa Cagayan De Oro na ngayon ay gusting-gusto kong pagbakasyunan para makita at maging klaro sa isipan ko ang tamang setting ng story sa tuwing nagpaparty, gumagala, nagdedate at marami pang activities ng mga Montefalcos na mahilig sa party.
Everything. Everything's totally fresh.
Actually, I haven't found KlarIjah's story incest. From the very beginning, alam ko na sa sarili ko na may mangyayari. Alam kong may maayos. Alam kong kahit ano man ang mangyari, sila pa rin talaga. Okay na okay, bet na bet, pak na pak, ako sa plot ng story. No problem. Everything's perfect.
Queen J, this trilogy changed my beliefs. Hindi sa way ng pagtingin sa mga pinsan romantically, pero sa idea ng pagkakaroon ng isang mabuti at masayang pamilya. Example: Montefalcos. Bilib na bilib kasi ako sa katatagan nila, bonds, at closeness. Para bang, gusto ko rin siyang iapply sa pamilyang mayroon ako right now. Gusto kong iapply ito dahil katulad nga ng mga binabanggit ni Klare sa kanyang POV, we can't change what's in the past, all we have to do is to face the present. Na habang nabubuhay pa, dapat ay maganda at maayos ang magiging desisyon mo para sa kalalabasan nito sa future. Because life is short. We have to cherish every moment. I've learnt na dapat ay palagi nating inuuna ang pamilya natin. Dahil sa bawat circumstances na dumadating sa buhay natin, sila ang palaging nasa tabi natin at ang susuporta sa atin.
I've learnt how to value our family more. And it's all because of Montefalcos.
Habang binabasa ko ang story, minsang sumagi sa isip ko na sana belong ako sa pamilya nila. I don't know but I envy their family. Hahaha! Well, I envy them. Montefalcos almost have everything. May mga prinsipyo, may mga pinaninindigan. They treasure and cherish the ones they love. Ayaw nilang may titibag sa pamilya nila because one thing is for sure: they love their family.
Queen J, hindi niyo lang ako tinuruan na maniwala sa love. Hindi niyo lang ako tinuruan na pahalagahan pa lalo ang pamilya. Tinuruan niyo rin po akong pumasok sa mundo ng fashion. Hahaha! The boy and girl characters' style, attire, clothing and such thought me na hindi lang undergarments, t-shirt, shorts, at pantalon ang mayroon sa mundo para suotin. Hahaha! I hope this makes sense dahil may sense talaga siya sa akin. XD And lastly, kahit papaano, naibsan ng story ang pagiging ignorante ko.
The story's written in Filipino at minsan ay may English. Kaya ako natutuwa sa writing style dahil kaunti lang ang alam ko sa Filipino. Not that mas marami ang alam ko sa English, pero ang paggamit ng mga salita sa mga pagtawag ng galaw ng isang tao. Nalilito pa nga ako kung ano ang halukipkip, ang pinagkaiba ng ngiti at ngisi, ang singhap at tikhim, mariin at marahan. I don't know... Pilipinong-Pilipino ako pero ako itong wala gaanong alam sa mga tawag sa bagay-bagay. But like what I've said, the story just thought me everything. Natuto ako, sobra.
Queen J. I can say na hindi pa ito lahat ang gusto kong sabihin. But now, I'm out of words. Kahit papaano, naibsan ang feels ko. Hahaha! Natatawa nalang ako sa sarili ko kasi alam ko sa sarili ko na kahit kailan, hindi mawawala ang sobra-sobrang feels ko sa Until Trilogy. I hope ate Jonah, the story will be published soooooon. 'Yung tipong mala-English novel. Bakit po?
A wonderful and amazing story deserves the best.
I love you, Queen J! You're the best!

Eye popping, heart stopping, blood racing, lung scratching, forbidden love affair. Both wanted to be one another, but they can't. Because everything is too damn wrong.
Really, really worth reading. Can't wait to read Part 2! (But I still don't want to do so. I'll let the feelings cede. I. Just. Can't. Freaking. Feelings.)

The best Wattpad series. Ever.
I'm so lucky to have read such an exceptional story of Elijah and Klare. They had one sick love story! I never thought I would be attached this much to a story, let it be from Wattpad. Ate Jonah, you never failed to exceed my expectations! The entire Montefalcos will remain deep deep down in my heart.

I liked the story lalo na yung protagonist, Klare Montefalco.Kahit sobrang love nya si Elijah, mas pinili parin nya yung tama. I salute her for that.Hindi naman talaga natin maiiwasang magkamali, its inevitable in life. Minsan mas sinusunod natin yung emotions kaya napapahamak tayo but there will always be a chance hanggat may buhay kaya maitatama pa natin ito. Realistic enough kesa sa mga fiction about angels and vampire shits, hahaha! Ipinapakita sa story na hindi lahat ng gusto mo ay makukuha mo pero may mga bagay na kailangang ipaglaban mo bago mo makuha. Dito mo rin makikita na sa bawat decision mo, hindi lang dapat kapakanan mo ang iniisip mo kundi kasali rin yung mga taong mahal mo at maaapektuhan sa bawat mapagdesisyunan mo.

This is not just one of the best but THE BEST of all Trilogy book that i've red. The plot, characters, and settings are all unpredictable. Never expected that there will be a twist. It's so exciting. Re-read it for almost 100 times since 2015 (can't count it) Lol. This is so beautiful. A must read indeed.

Fucking ace. Nice plot, a bit redundant and dramatic, had a few flaws but it was okay. *evil smirk* hi, baby.

July 22, 2024i was not educated when i first read this trilogy but now i'm glad i know better.

UNTIL HE WAS GONE
*Contains few spoilers*
1. The plot was about two cousins who fell for each other and tried to fight for it despite the family’s opposition to them.
2. Ang maganda rito hindi siya tulad ng ibang novels na ibinabato na lang bigla yung incest plot para lang magkaroon ng ‘forbidden love’ sa story e.g. stepsiblings, half – siblings, etc. Dito binigyan ng dahilan kung bakit ang pangit tignan sa society yung pag-iibigan nila. The Montefalco cousins are main characters too. Yung bond and friendship nang magpipinsan yung pinaka-importanteng element na nag-enhance sa ‘forbidden love’ trope sa trilogy na ‘to.
3.
4. This trilogy is a home to every JSLs. Main reason ay ang pagiging realistic nung mga characters kahit pa yung pamilya nila ang pinakahinahangaan sa CDO. Yung pagiging goofy ni Azi at pagiging seryoso pagdating sa ibang bagay. Yung bilis ng observation skills ni Claudette. At yung strong opposition ni Erin, Chanel, Yasmin, at Raf.
5. Napakaganda rin nung pagkaka-flesh out nang setting. Yung waves, sun burn, night life napaka realistic. Para ka na rin nakarating ng Cagayan De Oro at Camiguin habang binabasa mo ‘to.
6. Ang aastig ng mga batuhan ng linya sa librong ito. Mula sa mga indecent at stupid jokes ng Montefalco boys hanggang sa maiinit na salita ni Erin at ng Montefalco second gen at lalong lalo na sa mga sweet at romantic lines ni Elijah na mapapaiyak ka na lang talaga. Dialogues talaga kasi yung strenght ni Jonaxx pagdating sa pagsusulat
7. Kung di mo alam yung plot ng story at nabasa mo na yung ibang mga works niya, may mararamdaman ka ng kakaiba kay Eion Sa mga di pa alam, mababagalan ka or mabo-bored ka sa phasing nung story pero actually tama lang yung pag-brew dahil nga sa ‘forbidden love’ trope.
8. And
9. Sa Montefalco cousins, sa dami nila at sa pagiging unique ng names nila, sa unang basa mo ay mako-confuse ka pa at di mo kaagad matatandaan lahat. But after 3 books, para mo na rin silang naging barkada.

this broke my heart to pieces(the ending)
but when i read the last part of the trilogy....
I was so happy for klare she finally fought for her love.I was heartbroken for Elijah because klare chose family over him but I would do the same too,Incest is not good😂that's why i wasn't a fan of it at first,but as I read the story,It grew on me.
The story is well-made.I absoutely hated Erin when she always disagreed elijah and klare's love,but of course her character is very realistic I absolutely love her,And loved her more when I read "To Stay"(its amazing).She also made a lot of sacrifies for klare,I didn't notice that in the until trilogy but To Stay made me realize how great Erin's character more.
As for Azi and Claudette,I love how they supported them until the end(except when klare changed her last name).Azi is such a funny and witty guy and If a guy exists that is just like him i would definitely do anything to get him(XD).Dette's mysterious character is such a great touch to the story,She was the first who caught elijah and klare but kept quite(unlike erin).
And for Chanel and Rafael i hope they dont end up together because that would be true incest.I feel like there were hints...
Nevertheless I absolutely love love love this story...I also suggest reading knoxx's story(another cousin of klare and elijah and the brother of dette and azi)that was so unexpected hahahaha

This trilogy has been my all-time favorite since I started reading on Wattpad. And I've heard lots of arguments regarding how this trilogy promotes "incest". I have read this A LOT of times so I think I have a say on this.
I think the argument, "hindi incest kasi hindi naman sila magkadugo" will always have the rebuttal, "pero lumaki silang alam nilang magpinsan sila".
But I get now why Jonaxx wrote chapters about how did Elijah and Klare treat each other back when they are younger. To show that Elijah and Klare FELT IT even back then na kahit lumaki silang pinaniniwalan na magpinsan sila, they have this gut feeling na iba, na hindi dapat nararamdaman ng magpinsan. Because if they are truly cousins by blood, why would they even feel that way for each other?
Also, gets na gets ko kung bakit walang bed scene ang buong trilogy. I actually prefer it that way. Jonaxx just wants to be clear that it is love they are feeling and not lust.
I just think na hindi dapat ito binabasa ng mga bata na hindi pa open sa ganitong topic.. although this is just a book, sometimes nakakainfluence kung paano tayo mag-isip. And while this story was not encouraging you to fall in love with your cousin 💀 kids would misunderstand and might romanticize incest in this kind of way.
I get the controversy. Minsan ang hirap ipagpalaban. Most of the time, I am still ambivalent over the topic but I find myself re-reading it from time to time but with awareness and an open mind.

at first, nandidiri ako…it’s damn taboo. i can’t find a right words at first so drinrop ko muna siya to think a little then nag start ako ulit mag read nung oct 13 then tuloy tuloy na…i can’t hate them to be honest. lalo na si elijah, he loves klare so much to the point he will do anything for her. he doesn’t gave a flying fuck if they’re cousins. he will risk at her and damn…i love him so damn much. he is well written. he was soft spoken, yearner and so on. to the point na kahit mag date siya ng iba babae yung mata niya tska puso akay klare. i want a man like that, he knows so well and he was aware kung nag seselos ba or what. i don’t know, he teaches me alot of what i want. and nung sa ending naman na may pov ng boys…i was kind of uhm…hurt? kay josiah T _ T though i can’t judge him to quickly since first book palang naman ako but man! i hate his thoughts!! he doesn’t have emotional intelligence! and as for azi, all i can say is he is a slutty asshole HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA he fingered the…what? ang matino lang ata na pov dun is si damon tska raf eh.
anyway, i love elijah so muchies, no wonder many people love him so much, he deserves it. ang pambansang baby. (i hope makahanap ako ng elijah, though i don’t want him to be my cousins kasi hindi naman libro ang buhay ko ahahhahahahah)
ohh…ps. sa book lang pala may mga pov ng montefalco boys hehehe baka mag hanap kasi kau.

I saw it first in the Facebook. It says that the trilogy is a forbidden love story. I was intrigued. I added the series on my library but I wasn't able to read it immediately. Few days or maybe weeks have passed, I saw it on my library, I actually forgot to read it since I've become very busy. So I've read it, at first it was okay, I was still waiting for the male lead, and so I thought it was Eion, Klare's crush. And then Elijah starts acting very weird and then boom I suddenly remembered it was a forbidden love story, so it must be Elijah!
I feel in love with him, really. He was caring, loving, thoughtful and very very gentleman. Klare is so lucky. The plot is amazing, the characters development is amazing, everything about it is amazing. Not too much, not too less. Balance. The best trilogy I've read in wattpad. Actually, one of the best romance I've read ever! I lovee jonaxx's writing style. I finished reading all her stories and some day, I will collect all her published books.

I’ve been looking for “something” in the past few days and I don’t really have any idea what it is. (if you know what I mean?) It seems like I’ve been acting like a “walking dead” for awhile now and I’ve been reading books base on my schedule which is quite suffocating sometimes. So when I was browsing my mobile phone, I’ve stumbled to Wattpad. And pooof! An idea just came out!
It’s been a long time since I’ve read a story from my favorite wattpad author, Jonaxx, so I was really really excited. And well, my excitement didn’t betray me at all. Until He Was Gone is undeniably one of my long list of favorites from hers.
Until He Was Gone is the first installment of the Until Trilogy which actually revolves around Klare Montefalco, who belongs to a wealthy and well-known family in their town. She fell in love, but then, it’s forbidden. She loves him, and he loves her so dang much. (*insert my deafening squeal here)
When I started reading this story, the first thing I’ve noticed was the amazeball closeness and protectiveness of the Montefalco cousins with each other. And the very first name/character that really caught my attention was Elijah! (*insert another deafening squeal here) Right there and then, I’ve been secretly eyeing him, haha (You can’t blame me, he has the same name with my vampire crush from The Originals TV series, haha)
I’ve been planning to write this review without mentioning Klare’s partner for I want you guys to also feel clueless on the reason behind Klare’s forbidden love, but dang! I can’t go on without mentioning “his” name in here, so I want to apologize for the spoiler below. You will still like the story I’m sure, hehe (*wink)
“Run Klare. Coz I’m done running. I can’t run anymore. And God knows I can’t even walk away..”
Right there and then, it confirmed my guess that Elijah’s in love with his cousin, Klare. In normal circumstances, I could have gagged myself because it’s incest. But dang! I can’t. I just can’t! It seems that it is right. I’ve been thinking a lot of possibilities on what will happen next. But Jonaxx being Jonaxx, proved my predictions were false. So yeah, it’s confirmed, I am not a seer haha. This story is really unpredictable and the transition from Klare’s admiration with Eion to falling in love with his cousin Elijah has a very strong claim. I mean, you can’t really question that part. It just happened!
From the start, I really thought that it’s going to be Klare and Eion’s story, but Jonaxx proved again her prowess in writing unpredictable story. You can’t blame me to think that Klare’s going to end up with Eion because of their sweetness and I just love the start of their story. The guy is a bit snob and “masungit” so I really thought at first that they are perfect for each other (I‘m a sucker for that kind of romance, you know haha). But dang! They always say that girls are complicated, but what would you call Eion then? Haaay! Eion, dinakita ma-espeling, katulad ng pangalan mong di ko rin alam kung bakit tunog babae, haha. Sorry, I was being sarcastic there.
Elijah’s love for Klare is really really really amazing. I can’t count how many times I cried because of that. You’re so lucky Klare. But knowing that they are cousins, I can’t really say Klare’s that lucky. So yeah, she has to give up Elijah for the sake of her family’s reputation. It even tainted her closeness to her cousins.
If you can see me now guys while writing this, you will really think I’m crazy. Everytime I think about that scene, when Klare told Elijah to leave..huhuhu..that was really heart breaking.
“Klare, isang salita mo lang na mahal mo ulit ako ay ipaglalaban kita hanggang sa maubos ako.”
“Klare, baby, please..Please choose me this time. Please be with me. Magiging okay tayong dalawa. I’ll work hard for us. We don’t need our families support. I only need you. I know I only need you.“
Now tell me, who wouldn’t cry on those lines? Huhu Elijah, ako nalang please. (*insert Tasha’s (from One More Chance) crying face here haha)
As expected of Jonaxx, this story is really unpredictable. All scenes and conflicts hold up. The guys characters didn’t sounded gay to me, and it’s so easy to picture them all out because of her very understandable descriptions, which was brief and concise. And the plot? really exceptional!
This is really the first time that I was so affected with the book that I have ever read. I mean, I’m done reading this book so I should be peaceful eh? But no! That was far from truth. While I was working or simply not doing anything, I find it so hard to focus. The scene between Klare telling Elijah to leave keeps circling in my mind. And God knows how many times I control myself not to grab my mobile phone and read its second book. But no! I need to practice my self-control this time. Haha, I’m going on my (long anticipated) short vacation the next day and I don’t want to spend it by staying in my room and read the book. (I only have this one chance to have a vacation after exhausting myself from work, so I really need to take advantage of it hehe)
This story has no SPG, so everyone’s welcome to read this story for free in Wattpad.
I have one more warning though. If you start reading this book tonight, you shall receive no sleep. Enjoy reading! And oh, please come back and tell me how you find the story eh?

I discovered jonaxx a couple years ago because of this missionary that went in our house, and every time our session ends we would always talk about books. She recommended this book and I LOVE IT. I mainly consider Elijah Riley as my first love. He’s the guy that made me believe in love, and the standard that I’m looking for, though it’s impossible but I’d like to imagine. A girls got her mind wondering.
I love the criss cross plot, and every-time i reread (I’m rereading right now onto book 3) Elijah never failed to make me e feel all the butterflies in the world. It feels like every time i read there’s always a part if me who’s reading it for the first time again. No word could ever describe how much i love this book, how much it means to me, and how close it has gotten to my heart.
I love you ate j for writing a wonderful piece. Love is always war , and you can always choose to be a soldier. :333

I LOVE THE UNTIL TRILOGY AND THE MONTEFALCOS SO MUCH!!!
When I started reading this book (my first ever book by Jonaxx), I didn't expect much. I thought it would be just another cliche story, but wow was I wrong. This book made me fall in love with Jonaxx and now I've read almost all her books. You can say that this book was the one that started it all. And the fact that this was set in my hometown may or may not have had something to do with it hehe. But seriously, Ate Jonah managed to blow me away with her writing and plot. All three books from the trilogy were roller coaster rides.
ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW HOT ELIJAH IS? HE'S PROBABLY THE LEAST FBOI OUT OF ALL THE MONTEFALCO COUSINS [i mean, Damon and Knoxx come close but Elijah is hands down my favorite Montefalco!!]. Klare may have annoyed me, but Elijah made up for all of that by being perfect.

This series was one of the first series i read in wattpad. I love Jonaxx's impeccable and amazing writing. I love the characters' flaws and feelings. The plot is really controversial in the society and Jonaxx did an amazing job at writing that and its consequences. I love how it took 3 books for the lead to gain acceptance from the family. It made me feel happy, giddy, sad, and angry. I love the characters' development. Elijah's love for Klare is heartwarming. I love this trilogy so much. I keep on rereading and the feelings and nostalgia stays the same. My favorite among the Montefalco series.

ang daming DRAMA omg
It was very hard for me to continue this book because yun nga... they're cousins. But I still pushed through because I want to understand the hype with this book. It was okay but I'm still disturbed by the fact that they liked each other knowing that they are cousins. The ending was so good though and the plot twists. Hinding hindi ka mabobored kase ang daming nangyayri. Ang daming DRAMA hahahahah.
It was very hard for me to continue this book because yun nga... they're cousins. But I still pushed through because I want to understand the hype with this book.

I really like EJ and Klare, but I just find their situation a bit weird, especially since they liked each other even though they were cousins at that time. Even though they tried to shift their attention and let go of that love, it’s still strange. I get annoyed with the Montefalcos, but at the same time, it was right to separate them, though it was unfair that Klare got most of the blame. Rating it 3, just my opinionn huhu.
