Bobcats Hockey #2
Shot Through the Heart
At nineteen, we swore that we would weather any storm that came our way. But all it took was one unexpected thunderstorm to show us just how naive we were.
Stella Owens
One car accident changed everything. All I wanted was to be there for him, but Greyson refused to let me get close. Refused to even see me. When I showed up to tell him about my pregnancy, I was sent away with a broken heart and a check.
Five years later, he’s back in my life and needs my help.
Greyson Moreno
All it took was one decision in a freak thunderstorm to flip my world upside down. Waking up from surgery and finding out she was gone broke me. From that moment on, playing hockey was the only reprieve I had to stop thinking about her.
Now I’m being told I need to soften my public image to help the team. So, when my teammate suggests I hire help, I decide that will be the easiest choice. Until the very girl who made me like this, walks into the meeting. With a fake dating contract in place, I can get answers and help my image.
The only difference between the past and now, is that the storms come in the forms of uncovered secrets and the lies that got us here.

Decent read with 2 MCs who were childhood sweethearts and in love. However, after a car accident in which Hero gets hurt and heroine becomes pregnant with his kid, his Mother from hell intervenes and manipulates heroine into thinking that he no longer wants her or his kid so she leaves town to raise her kid and they don't see each other for 5 yrs.
Meanwhile, Hero is a hockey player and he was devastated and very hurt when heroine walked away from him without a word not knowing his evil mother manipulated both of them. So he shuts down and focuses on his career and nothing else for the next 5 yrs.
I liked the fact that both were celibate during the 5 yr separation. Hero stated he had no interest in any woman and neither did he form any attachments or deep friendships with his teammates. He basically shut down emotionally after FMC walked away from him.
In the present, heroine has a precocious 5 yr old little girl and she moved to the same town as Hero to work for a company that offers a service to rich & famous men that need a date at social events. No, FMC is not an escort but it did have the stink of it if you want to get technical about it which I don't think author wanted to go there as she tried to make it seem that it's a service they offer that is legit and on the up & up. Anyhoo, this was heroine's first assignment & date and she didn't know it was with Hero who his management wanted him to be seen with a "Date" at social events to make him more sociable.
Anyway, it's a sweet story and once they cleared the air of what happened, I started to enjoy it a little more than I did at the start that just became tedious & boring. So why 3 stars? It just never really pulled me in. Perhaps because MMC is 25 years old and he came across as a teen. He allows his Mother to brow beat him about the game he played when she is not his coach or anything, tells his teammates that he can't hang out with them because he is expecting a call from his Mom, etc. I need an Alpha men's/man Hero, not this version of whatever he was portrayed as.
Heroine is lacking too. She is constantly described as "voluptuous". Why? Isn't once enough? Don't even remember if we even got a description of her "voluptuousness". Was it because she had big boobs & butt? Also, I can't stand stupid/idiotic female MCs who get manipulated like they literally have no braincells to put two & two together and just take someone's word.
Anyway, don't pay me any attention. I obviously wasn't in the right mood for this one and a bit bored, but I still will read anything that has celibate MCs - just please make them more adult & smart so that my braincells don't get fried.

Shot Through the Heart by Mikayla Christy
4/5⭐
2/5🌶️
I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant to dive into this book because of the secret baby trope, but I was pleasantly surprised! It turned out to be a delightful read, and I enjoyed it. The romance is sweet, with just the right mix of angst and spice. The chemistry and connection between the main characters, Greyson and Stella, are so genuine, and there are plenty of heartwarming moments throughout. Greyson and Stella were high school sweethearts, but life took a tragic turn that separated them. Fast forward a few years, and they unexpectedly cross paths again. Although pain from the past lingers between them, it’s clear that their bond is still strong.
After their breakup, Greyson has become a bit of a recluse—he’s closed off, doesn’t like to socialize, and avoids parties. When people negatively look at him, he needs to change that perception, and that’s where Stella comes in. Stella is an amazing single mom—strong, independent, and devoted to her daughter. When she reunites with Greyson, she carries her own heartache, thinking he doesn’t want her or their child in his life. Yet, their chemistry is undeniable, even after years apart.
What I loved most was how determined Greyson was to win Stella back! He doesn't resent her for leaving him; instead, he wants to talk and understand what happened between them. As they uncover the truth behind their separation, their communication improves significantly. It’s inspiring to see them focus on their future without blaming each other. I got a little choked up when Greyson discovers he has a daughter, Harper, and their moments together are so sweet and touching.
Overall, this book is such a light and easy read! It’s a heartwarming second-chance romance filled with love and just the right amount of spice.

3.5 🌟
As much as I loved Book 1, I thought I was gonna love this one more but instead it left me with a need for more.
Grumpy MMC ✔️
Secret baby ✔️
Adorable toddler ✔️
Celibate MCs (for 5 years) ✔️✔️✔️
It had all the factors to be superb but the author thought it was smart to skip important parts.
☝️ Their first meet after 5 years starts with a shock, continues with awkwardness but has no ending because the author after their initial encounter skipped to the next chapter. 🤷♀️
I wanted glares, I wanted disbelief, I wanted resentment, I wanted banter, I wanted my blood to boil but it just simmered for a sec and that was that.
✌️ The moment he realises what his mom did to both of them, keeping the news of his daughter to herself, pushing the MFC away and then him acknowledging that was also a bit underwhelming.
The scene should have been explosive. He should have felt anger, frustration, guilt, saddness, rage, relief, hope ..... instead he's in disbelief, he cries and that was that.
3️⃣ We don't witness the moment his daughter calls him "Daddy" for the first time. Why?!!! Why would you keep his euphoric touching reaction from us?!
4️⃣ They've known each other since they were teenagers. They loved and love each other to the extent that after their breakup they couldn't date other people and remained celibate. Yet it's 3 years and 6 months later until he asks her to marry him! That should have been wayyyyy sooner.
Instead of taking advantage of all the angst, emotional rollercoaster, joy, guilt, rage and relief, the author offered us surface level traumas.
Also, I think the author has beef with her own mom because Lilly's mom in Book 1 and Greyson's mom in Book 2 are the villains LOL
Proof of grumpiness 👇
"Holy shit." Dean gasps and stops directly in front
of me. "Your face is broken."
I raise an eyebrow at him. "Pretty sure my face is
perfectly fine.'"
"Can't be." He shakes his head. "It's never done.
whatever that is before."
He gestures vaguely at my face before reaching out
to poke my cheek. I swat his hand away and scowl
up at him.
"Pretty sure that's called a smile, Squirrel," Dom
tells him.
"Exactly!" Dean throws his hands up as if that only
proves his point.
"What are you yelling about now?" Landon asks,
sitting on the bench beside me.
"Grey's been abducted and replaced with an alien
clone!" Dean says and 1 roll my eyes.
Proof of eternal Love
My cheeks flush as I slip in the vague question. I
have no issues telling him that I haven't slept with
anyone else, and I wouldn't hold it against him if
he's been with others.
Greyson tucks a finger under my chin, forcing me
to look directly at him.
"There's nothing to be worried about. The last
woman I was with is currently in my arms."
I try, and probably fail, to contain my shock.
"You mean you haven't been with anyone else in
five years?"
"Even if I wanted to, I don't think I could have.
None of them would have been you." He adjusts
his hand to cup my cheek. "It's only ever been you,
Stella.'"
"For me too."' I feel the tear slide down my cheek.
Note to self:
Possible future MCs in the series,
Dean and Ari (Landon's sister) - (can't wait for these two)
Landon and Evalyn?! (Works with Paige and Garrett and in a bar next door) Or Cal?! (Works at the bakery/cafe)

Wow, never wanted this book to end. This was so cute, loved the H so much. And how much he suffered those 5 years they were apart broke my heart.
- Second chance
- Secret baby
- Hockey player
- “Always been you” done right
He has a bad reputation and need to lighten this, so he hires a firm where he will have a plus one to social gatherings. This is strictly professional (I didn’t get any bad vibes from this, at first though he misunderstood and thought they meant he should hire s*x worker and was horrified).
The h ends up being this person and he decides right away that he will find out why she left all those years ago. And he quickly decides that he wants to win her back - even before he finds out about their daughter.
Fuck, how I hate his mother for doing this to them. My heart broke for him when he found out, but I was so glad that they both understood immediately that none of them was at fault. But a small part of me is mad he didn’t tried to find her himself when he was healed up after their car accident. Wasn’t he interesting in knowing how she was doing after the hit or why she “ghosted him”?
So glad she was shipped off!
Safety:
- Super safe
- Both celibate during separation
- No owd/omd
Loved how this book didn’t have any ow drama at all! No flirting, and basically no other woman trying to talk to him. So refreshing. And the fact that it isn’t talked about the other guys on the team sleeping around was so refreshing, no puck bunnies or talk about sleeping around.
And his tattoos for her and their daughter 😍

safety :
- safe
- no cheating
- no owd / omd
- both celibate during 5 year seperation
this is how all 2nd chance romance MMCs need to be.
After their abrupt break up following a serious car accident, and no closure Greyson shut off completely, he stopped feeling enjoyment nor was he able to connect to anyone anymore. he didn't even get joy from playing and winning at Hockey.
this POVs actually broke my heart, that man is the sweetest Angel ever. despite thinking Stella dumped him for no reason he still treated her with so much care, respect, and affection.
the way he spoke about her melted my hateful heart.
he even got 2 tattoos for her

Not for me, sadly. I don’t love miscommunication and then they don’t address their reason for separation for far too long. The first half didn’t compel me at all.
I only really started to like it a little when they realized what happened and finally started talking.
Bonus points because they’re both celibate and finally you’re the only one for me is true! 😂

Felt Rushed
Maybe I didn’t set proper expectations before starting this book but overall it felt rushed. The characters barely had any development throughout the book and read more as a wattpad story than a romance novel. Giving two stars instead of one because of the dual pov

It was…okay! (Possible spoilers ahead) There were a few things that didn’t make sense, but it was an okay read. I probably wouldn’t read it again, though.
H and h had a sweet high school romance. They were in love. They had a wreck one night and H was hurt badly. h ghosted H (or did she?)
Something like 4 or 5 years later, H is a major grump who can’t connect with anybody. He plays hockey. 🤷♀️ The VIPs want H to show some personality and go on some dates.
There’s this “escort” service (that doesn’t provide smex) it’s basically a dating service for rich folks. h works for them and she now has a 4 year old daughter
Surprise! h’s first client is H. 🙃
*backstory*
After the wreck when they were teens, H’s mom (who is bat shite crazy) lied to both MCs. She told H that h didn’t come to see him in the hospital. She told h that H didn’t want to see her. h told the mom that she was pregnant and the mom tried to buy her off. Told her H didn’t want the kid
—————
It takes a minute after they reunite and have a few fake dates when H discovers the kid. The two MCs do FINALLY discuss what happened years ago, and they both know H’s crazy mom lied to break them up. She even sent h checks to pay her off (h did not cash those checks)
Once the miscommunication is cleared up between MCs, it’s all smex and rebuilding after that.
FYI- BOTH MCs have been celibate during their 5 years apart. (Usually I’d find that hard to believe, but due to their personalities and what they went through- I did find it believable)
So…the issue I had with this book is Why did the crazy mom do all this? The way it’s explained is because she didn’t think h was good enough. I think it’s a very weak motive to explain all the bizarre, insane nonsense that the mom pulls. It was all just so OTT. (Ngl, I had visions of Norman Bates’ mom while reading this)
Even the final showdown in the hospital after H is hurt in a hockey game was like WHOA. That insane woman needs to be in a mental hospital. 🤯 She was so cringe.
The epilogue does mention that H’s dad divorced the insane mom, but what happened to the insane mom? We needed something more here.
Finally, I was just stupefied that these two MCs did NOT communicate after the wreck. Even with the things insane mom did, why didn’t the MCs have a face to face? Or have one conversation within the 5 years apart?
If you’re getting checks from H’s mom, wouldn’t you be a little suspicious that maybe he doesn’t know? If mom is the only one replying to your text/letter/emails, wouldn’t that make you suspicious? I mean….. YOU know the woman doesn’t like you. It’s never been secret. Why not investigate a little more? There was absolutely nothing about H that was a red flag (well except his mom) even when they were teenagers.
Speaking of H- ugh! The way he let his mom dictate his life was just weak.
I have to admit that the insane mom’s actions made me giggle a few times. I was like OHHHH HELL NAW! 😂😂

I absolutely love Mikayla's writing and the stories she tells, and this was no different. I was so excited to learn that there was a second book coming in the Bobcats Hockey series, and she did not disappoint. This book is the perfect second chance romance that will leave you in your feels and have you falling in love with the characters in this book. From the very beginning, you can just feel how much Stella and Greyson are meant for each other. Their chemistry is electric. And add in the fact that they have a daughter together? Forget about it, it's perfect!
I absolutely HATED everything that Grey's mom put them through, but I loved how he immediately knew Stella was being truthful and cut her out of his life. The way that Grey took on the role of dad without even hesitating was so sweet to read. He loved that little girl so much and the bond the two of them created was so beautiful.
I loved seeing Stella and Grey's relationship find its way back to each other and grow even stronger than the first time. Reading how they re-learned about each other and fell even more in love was everything.
I loved book so much and I can't wait for the rest of the series! Thank you, Mikayla, for the ARC copy.

I have loved this series so much and we're only on book 2!
Mikayla KNOWS how to write and get you in your feels and this is just another example!
Greyson and Stella were high school sweethearts that were torn apart after a terrible car accident by someone they loved. Five years went by of them thinking the other abandoned them without a word, only for fate to bring them back together again when Stella moved to Tampa for her new job. This also happened to be where Greyson played professional hockey. She knew the chances of running into him were there because she checked up on his career occasionally, but he had no idea she was even in his new town. BUT, fate had a plan all along. I loved how GONE he still was for Stella, even though she was still guarded. Her heart had been crushed and he had no idea what had happened.
Stella is a single mom who had her heart ripped from her when she thought Greyson didn't want anything to do with her or their baby, right before she moved out of state to live with her grandmother. She finished college, raised a daughter, and created her own village of women. Her grandmother passed, so Stella got a job down in Tampa with her friend's friend. Greyson is the grumpy hockey player because after he thought Stella just up and left him, his heart had turned to ice. He wasn't interested in anything BUT hockey because that was the only thing that kept him going.
When he discovered Stella had a daughter about the same age as the last time they saw each other all those years ago, Greyson didn't second guess a thing. He jumped in heart first and if you didn't swoon over this grumpy hockey player already, seeing him after he knew the truth with his little girl!? Whew. Heart = puddle. He fell hard for his little girl and was the cutest dad and his love he still held for Stella grew brighter. THEN the way he stepped up against the person that kept them apart all these years and fought for Stella and their daughter?! This man is down bad for his girls and lets the world know it. He's patient, loving, protective, and oh so swoony. I loved the found family with the hockey players and their other halves too! (OH, and NO 3rd act break up!!!)
Thank you, Mikayla, for yet another amazing book!! Cannot wait for the next one!

Well, I was so not emotionally ready for this second chance romance. Mikayla always has a way of touching your heart with her books, but this one really pulled at my heartstrings and put me in all my feels.
Greyson and Stella were high school sweethearts before an accident and a miscommunication tear them apart. Ever since the separation Greyson was just a shell of himself and became quite the grump. He was then told by the hockey team that he needs to work on his image, which is what ultimately brings Stella back into his life.
While Stella wasn’t necessarily a shell of herself, thanks to her daughter Harper, there was just something missing.
Stella and Greyson were always meant for each other; they were so open with each other that their second chance just came so naturally.
While there was a lot of miscommunication and secrets happening in this book, none of it was from the main characters.
I also loved the glimpses of other characters from Mikayla’s books! I can’t wait to read what else Mikayla has in store!

I love a good secret baby where the dad doesn't know -- never fails to pull at my heartstrings. I loved this, I loved seeing the relationship with the guys grow and seeing the fmc and mmc get back together. This was a short and sweet read. Honestly, bonus points for the 'its always been you' too.
ANYWAYS, rant time lol
My least favorite type of second chance romance is one due to miscommunication. Yes, they were both 19 and in a serious accident and had no reason to believe a parent would do that but like… come on. You’re not even going to at least speak to them face to face? You’re not upset that they’re trying to “break things off with you” via their MOM?! Like do yall not know each other?
Also, how are you just going to let them ghost you like that? You’re not even gonna ask around or confront them? Because what? Idk maybe it’s just me but like… stand of up for yourself please 😔 I did like that we acknowledged Grey's trauma of being left in the hospital because it was only really focused on hers. This story was about love and coming back together and I did like how mature they were about everything even if I was a little peeved. lol

What a cute second chance. As usual with Mikayla's book, there is low angst and a guaranteed HEA.
Stella and Greyson were meant for each other, they were each other' soulmates and it broke my heart to see how they were torn apart for so many years. The lies and manipulation was insane and side note; Greyson's mom is cray cray.
Harper is just the cutest little girl. She light up the pages every time she made an appearance. Children are so resilient, she was handed a horrible card before she was even born but she accepted Greyson and was so happy when she found out the truth about him.
I enjoyed watching Stella and Grey fall back in love again. I also really liked how Grey finally began to get color back in his life and open up to his team.

Absolutely loved this second chance romance.
Greyson and Stella were ripped apart by a family member, who didn't want them together. They were both broken hearted, but fate brings them back together 5 years later. When he finds out that he has a daughter he is upset at first but when they find out the truth about what happened they both agree that they are going to take things slow and let him get to know his daughter. When they tell her that he is her dad oh it's just perfect! I absolutely love how Greyson lights up and becomes himself with them both in his life. I love the found family with the group of friends and the team. The fact that his team was there for him even though he thought they wouldn't be since he always seemed so closed off. Stella and Greyson are perfect for one another, and Harper was absolutely adorable. If you love second chance, high school sweethearts, hockey romance then go grab this book!

Mikayla Christy has a way of touching your heart with her books and putting you into your emotions and touching your heart. Greyson and Stella’s story wasn’t any different.
Greyson and Stella had to go through the wringer to find their way back to each other. Greyson is a bit of a grump, but the minute Stella is back in his life it’s like his whole world has shifted and is right again.
There is a bit of a miscommunication, not the main character’s fault. Secrets were kept but when everything is out in the open the love between them still remains strong.
It was especially nice to see Grey stand up and do what’s right.
If you like a good sports romance with a little bit emotional drama to pull at your heart give this a read .

FMC: Stella Owens, Harper (4)
MMC: Greyson Moreno
Spice: 🌶️🌶️
Pages: 250
Tropes: Second Chance Romance, Hockey Romance, Fake Relationship, Secret Child, Single Mom Romance, Miscommunication Trope
Setting: Tampa Bay, FL
Thoughts: I really liked this book. It featured characters from some of Mikayla Christy’s other series, and I really liked the way it integrated them all into the same world. This was one of my favorite types of miscommunications, where there was a third party that interfered. Stella and Greyson both went through it because of his mother’s decisions. I loved that once they realized what had happened they put the past where it belonged. I loved how easily Greyson bonded with Harper. I thought the whole book was fairly lighthearted and easy to read. My only complaint is that I wanted more of Greyson, Stella and Harper!

I'm so gonna call this a novlla instead of novel, I finished it in just one setting because it just had the sweetest storyline, You can't stop till you finish the whole thing 💕
We’ve got two high school sweethearts who were ripped apart by life… and toxic motherhood (seriously, THAT mom deserves a whole villain arc without redepp and a really really bad ending). Years later, they cross paths again—and baby, the sparks FLY 💥
I ate up the fake dating plot at the very beginning 💕. The way they slipped right back into each other’s lives felt so meant to be. Like star-crossed lovers finally getting their timing MOTHERLESS right 💯
It’s not super spicy, just the right amount of steam and ALL the swoon.
Short, emotional, and totally satisfying. If you’re in the mood for a quick read that brings big feels, this one’s calling your name, love!!

Shot Through the Heart by Mikayla Christy is book 2 in the Bobcats Hockey series. It follows Greyson and Stella as they come back to each other and work through all the pain and trauma from their pasts.
Stella and Greyson were high school sweethearts but after a tragic accident they are forced apart. Years later they are reconnected and you can tell that the bond, love and chemistry are still alive and well. I loved watching them work through all the past issues and learn who they are again, together and as individuals. The romance was sweet with the perfect amount of spice and angst and can’t forget the tension that brings it all together.
This was such a heartwarming, second chance romance that was light and easy to read with the right amount of love and spice.

This one read very similar to Man of Action by Elle Rivers — not an exact copy, but definitely giving the same vibes. You know the drill: young lovers doing their thing, life tears them apart, MMC unknowingly leaves a bun in the oven… fast forward a few years, and that bun’s now a whole loaf sprinting right into him. 🫢 Immediate dad mode activated, and suddenly our guy’s out here trying to win back the strong, independent, severely guarded FMC he let slip away.
I wasn’t sure what to expect beyond another hockey romance, but overall, it was an okay read. Light on the spice, decent on the feels. The storyline was fine — familiar, sure — but the characters had some depth, and their dynamic was cute enough to keep me turning the pages.
If you’re looking for a quick sports/hockey secret baby fix, this one’ll scratch that itch just fine. 🏒💙

If you've read any other book by Mikayla, you know it's inevitable for you to cry at some point in the story. she really hits you in the feels and then brings you back for all the happiness. I know it's coming with every book, and yet it surprises me when I break out in tears, lol. I also love finding the easter eggs from Mikayla's other books.
Greyson and Stella. ugh. their stars aligned, but they went through hell to get there!their story is so beautiful. If you avoid third-act breakups and don't like the miscommunication trope, this ones for you! Greyson, the grumpy, closed-off Hockey player was just waiting for the love of his life to come back to him. Not knowing that his solution to showing the world he isn't an asshole, would do just that.

📚: Shot Through the Heart by Mikayla Christy
Tropes:
👉 Single Mom
👉 Second Chance
👉 Secret Baby
TWs 😟: Meddling Mother
Main Takeaway 🏹: I love a Secret Baby trope!
Synopsis 📜: When a car accident tears Greyson and Stella apart, Stella has the accept that he doesn’t seem to want anything to do with their child. But a few years later when they are reconnected, everything they both thought they knew about their breakup is brought to question.
Personal Thoughts 🤔: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Stella and Greyson have been through the ringer and piecing their relationship is a delicate balance, all while Greyson is dealing with the fact that he has a daughter he didn’t know about. The pacing was well written and the chemistry between the MC’s was palpable!

a second chance hockey romance with a secret baby 🫠 lord.
Stella is a single mom, who moved away at 19 when she found out she was pregnant. She’s now moved to a new city five years later, only to be thrown back into her baby daddy’s life.
Greyson is a star hockey player, known to be an a-hole. His marketing team comes up with a strategy to clean up his image, but he didn’t expect that help came in the form of his ex girlfriend that left without a word, and a child he didn’t know about.
This second chance romance was so freaking adorable. While it wasn’t very spicy, the romance made up for it. The way this man turned into a puddle for his girls was just 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠
It was such a feel good story that I ate it up in one sitting!
However, I want to smack his mom. 😒

Okay, once again she has killed it with another book! I devoured this and wanted it to never end!! Highschool sweethearts who lost their way but was so in love with for each other that no one could ever compare?? Yes please! Stella was such a strong and loving FMC, she's someone that if she were real I would be friends with. I love her ambition. Greyson, sheesh I would like to have him wrapped under my christmas tree every year 😤 He is such a good book boyfriend, I mean this couple is the definition of DOWN BAD. I was so happy when everything finally clicked into the place for the couple and enjoyed the journey that I was taken on. A must read for sports romance lovers who go feral for a "only her/only him" story line 💗🏒

It is giving us hockey romance and a secret baby combo that will have you feeling EVERYTHING.
I am at a loss to truly express how I feel
From being teenagers in love to a car accident that changed everything.
Thunderstorms that will lead to a rainstorm of events
5 years later their paths cross!
SECOND CHANCE
NO 3RD ACT BREAK UP
SECRET BABY/SINGLE MOM IT'S ALWAYS BEEN YOU
FAKE DATING
I LOVE second chance romance. Seeing their love rekindle after everything that has happened.
The lies, the time that has past, moments missed
I felt EVERY MOMENT Mikayla wrote.
The mom feels.
Greyson stepping in and stepping up.
THIS IS WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF ❤️👐🏻
My heart is so happy and full after this.

I loved this addition to the Bobcats series! Grayson and Stella were everything! Their story was such a rollercoaster journey from being so deeply in love as highschool sweethearts, to such a heartbreaking turn of events, then reconnecting and coming back stronger than ever. I was so invested in their story that I literally could not put this book down!
The only reason I rated it at 4 stars instead of 5 was because of the amount of steamy scenes in the last half of the book. I actually skipped because I didn't feel they were needed because the storytelling and writing of the rest of the book was so good I just wanted more of that!
I can't wait for the next book of the series!
