Do not read this review if you are looking for rainbows, sunshine, and happy ever after.
Where to start...oh my. I was so excited to get another novel from Sohia. All the novels from the Hearts Collective ladies are amazing! I was blown away with the first MC book in The Blood of Cupids. I know everyone was a little disappointed that Ryan and Grace didn't get their HEA. I am a little overwhelmed with another cliffhanger. Yes, it was fantastic to read their almost HEA, but one knock on the door changed that. Ryan and Grace struggle to keep each other safe throughout the whole novel, but not without secrets. The emotions are so heartfelt and riveting! You will want to run, scream, cry, and punch something. Having so many obstacles to stand in the way of true love is just so f*cked up. These two just want to leave and run away together, but they can't because of loyalty to their MCs. They are beaten, tired, and continue to fight for each other. I was captivated from the first word to the last. I couldn't put it down. I was Ryan and Grace's cheerleader...helping them beat the bad guys. When the HEA is finally here and Ryan and Grace are safe...BAM! Their world is turned upside down and then you read "The End". I'm not too upset about a cliffhanger because I know I'll get another great read from Sophia. This series is emotional, amazing, heartfelt, raw, dark, riveting, and captivating!!! I can truly say this is right up there with my favorite MC novels! I expect nothing but perfection from the Heart Collective ladies and they deliver with another 5
