When Jeslyn wakes up to a simple note, the world falls to pieces at her feet. With everything slathered in violent torrents of gray, she drifts listlessly from one empty moment to another. A dangerous encounter reintroduces red, but is her heart broken beyond recovery?
Max grew up just outside of New York City, spending most of her formative years outdoors creating wild ghost hunts with neighborhood kids, setting booby-traps to capture unwitting family members, and building clubhouses on top of ten-foot walls. Max wrote her first story at the age of twelve and titled it Circles of Friendship. Through the years, Max has written several short-stories and poems, all of which met the wrath of the “Not Good Enough” monster and ended in fiery demise.
Max regained her confidence when she began writing scholarly articles and research theses on her first trip through graduate school. It took several years for her to break the habit of the formal writing that marred her creativity. An additional Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing was Max’s biggest support in this. Max writes primarily sci-fi/fantasy, paranormal romance, and Young Adult stories.
I took a while with this one due to the sad parts. I almost thought she wasn't going to come back. But what I didn't understand, before Jilly left, she must have come back to leave the note then follow that crackhead. Otherwise, she lied and had initially planned to leave or she came back.
4 stars. This part was a lot heavier than the first and I really enjoyed it even more. Jess and Jillian went through so much and really deserved their HEA. I loved the romance in this and I'm glad that I picked these up. They're quick reads but well worth it.
