Resumen del Editor

Haunted by a photographic memory, I couldn't escape the worst night of my life. The blood they shed. The pain they endured. The evil that still walked free. It was all I saw. Those memories, my childhood - the images.

But nothing lasts forever. Torment turned to blinding rage. Hate sought revenge, which pursued death. Then there was life. The moon. Rylee Anderson. I had to choose....

As a young child, Killian Foster survives the unimaginable. Silenced and scarred, he keeps to himself, spending his time with his notebook in the woods behind his aunt's house.

Until Rylee Anderson.... When Rylee spots Killian hopping over a fence next door, she follows him, unprepared for the boy she'd find - or the relationship that would unfold over the next seven years. Or the silence that would follow.

Fighting between the hate of his past and the promise of his future, Killian must make choices - ones that would affect more than himself. Choices that would test the lines of right and wrong. Decisions that could break the bond of the only love Killian knew.

Hate or love.

Revenge or forgiveness.

Silence or his voice.

As usual, an amazing read.

I could listen to Leddy Harpers books every day! This book was a touch more serious than the other audible books available by Leddy Harper but did not in any way disappoint. This book starts out a little bit slower than the others, but once I got a few chapters in, I was hooked. She has a talent for allowing you to feel what the characters are feeling. Can’t wait for another book to be released on audible by her so I can listen!!!

So good

It been on my to do list for a while. So happy I took a chance for on it. Very good story line with some good turns. Definitely 18+ with a great happy ending.

no

Well, the beginning was so promising! Full of pain and emotionally charged, it was a combination of sweetness and darkness all at the same time. 💙
I liked the writing style, the characters were strong, the story was good. But something was missing… maybe the plot should have been a little tighter, because a lot of things were said, but not done. 🤷‍♀️

There were also quite a few times that their relationship made me uncomfortable. For example, when they first met, Rylee was 10 and Killian was 11, and he wondered how her tongue would feel on his. SAY WHAT?? 🙈🙈🙈
And even after they grew up, their first sexual encounter was completely non-consensual as far as I was concerned.

I enjoyed reading about their relationship, which grew stronger and stronger during the first half of the book. I so wanted Killian to find his peace, understand what's really important and just let go… But I didn't like to the second part of the story, it was messy and took a completely different turn. 🤔

The hero was almost a different person. I understand that the author wanted to show that the characters grew and changed, but the execution was not good (and certainly not believable). 🤷‍♀️
I didn't get any real answers as to why he disappeared for so many years and it was hard for me to believe that this sweet broken boy did whatever he did…
Additionally, his thoughts suddenly included a lot of foul language and it didn't fit his character and certainly didn't contribute to the plot. 🙄

All in all, I think this book had a lot of potential, which was not used… 🙈

• I listened to the Audiobook, which was good. It took me a while to get used to the male narrator's whiny voice, but I love hearing audio with both narrators participating in the same chapter. ❤
