I cannot believe it, this book 5 the last book in the incredible, memorable and gripping series. Victoria James and Lou J Stock, ended this series with a bang. I started this journey, when my husband was diagnoses with ALS, this series means a lot to me, Victoria and Lou help me escape into this fictional world and I am able to forget. I am not sure what I will do after this, but I can assure you anything these 2 authors write I am clicking. I will forever be a Hound!! I will not give anything away because I am not spoiler so with that said, I will tell my feels.
I have watched Ayda and Drew grow throughout this series but in Without Forever, the authors show the characters, growth, and commitment not only in their relationship but for the brotherhood as well. Ayda and Drew’s faith in each other pours through the words and pages the authors deliver to readers. I adored Ayda through this series but in book 5, her character moved me beyond words. Ayda was fierce, loving, supportive and vulnerable when it came to Drew and the MC. She loved and respected her family and her man.
This is the conclusion and expect a lot of ugly crying, happy crying and WTF moments. In true Drew fashion, the man is dark, gritty and possessive. Drew, Drew, Drew he maybe be fictional but the man is real to me. I absolutely loved him before but in Without Forever, Drew was perfection personified.
Jiminy CRICKET I could not out this book down, I knew from the teasers Victoria and Lou shared I was going to be a bloody mess, and yes! Yes! I was but I was also ecstatic with the many oh’s and ah’s they threw into this last book. I swear every time I dive into a new chapter in this series, these authors are able to transport right there into the moment. I able to visualize and feel every emotion in a particular scene. It is the special attention to details with their words, setting and situation that held me captive. I hate to see this series end but I am glad with the how the authors decided to conclude it.
The give readers the ugly, the epic conclusion to the ongoing drama! The epilogue was AMAZE-Balls, I could not be more happy with how they gave a piece of the future leaving no question as to where Ayda, Drew and the rest of the MC will be. This series is one that I will reread and remember always, it is one of the types of books, its in the delivery and the continued growth I experienced in this series. There were no repetitions, each book in this series delivered something new and unforgettable.
