"Her, this, us...what I felt was strong enough, powerful enough to pull me out from inside. Sin, covered by scars. Scars, covered by ink. Damage she's vowed to love, she's begged to worship, and the cock that made her cry my name.
I've been falling every since-no...not falling. Jumping. And in front of me, it wasn't my music...but my most prized possession-my family." -Abel
I first became familiar with Gina Whitney when another favorite author participated in a collection release that she was in. I had seen her around but hadn't taken the time to read any of her books. After quickly realizing how amazing she is as a person I MADE the time to read Saving Abel. Let me just say... within the first few pages...
I WAS HOOKED!
This entire series is fantastic! I have been through every emotion while reading these amazing stories. Frustration, laughter, crying, gut-wrenching, happy, HOT, heart broken, you name it! Abel and Gia as well as the entire cast of characters that share their crazy life jump from the pages and take you on the ride of your life!
Avenging us is the spectacular conclusion to the series! But wait.... I hear rumors of plenty more to come for these rockers! Jake, Ender, Woody, Jessie, Chance, Michael, Mr. Gunner, Bella Mia, Cindy.... good gosh could it get any hotter?
Gina has an incredible talent with words. This story will stay with me for a while because of lines like this.
"If God meant the day to be perfect, he would not have invented tomorrow...So don't worry if today wasn't perfect, because you still have another."
The question is now... when can I get my next fix? When an author leaves you wanting more... that is mastery of the craft known as story telling.
"I turned, leaning my forehead against the cold door. Despair clung to me, and emptiness filled my heart. And I prayed like hell Beauty would reward me and we'd share a new life together alongside our new son or daughter. I told myself: This is exactly where you're supposed to be. So be here, now. This pain is a gift, just as your happiness will be. Find the stillness in it.
Listen. Have faith.
Learn. Rise.
Become stronger than your struggle. "
-sigh- Consider me a lifelong fangirl.
