Epically, amazing book!! BEST READ EVER!

This is the first time I have read/listened to a book by this author. In my opinion she is talented. She weaves a story around two childhood friends who embark on a bitter, sweet, loving, vengeful journey coping with what life throws at them.

From the first paragraph you are drawn into the idyllic life of two children. One wealthy, one a son of the hired help. Circumstances bring tragedy and the brutal life begins.
The trusting naive children who love each other learn that life is not fair and is very hard. This is a gritty, gripping tale that is not for the faint of heart. No spoilers but eventually there is a happily ever after..... but only after suffering, plot twists and anguish for all parties involved.

I highly recommend this story. It is one of the best reads I have had the pleasure of coming into contact with in the last two years. Narration performance is also stellar. The author has a clear idea of the story to go and her character development/plot/twists have you on an emotional roller coaster.

If you want feel good read this is not the book for you. My emotions ran the gambit of happy, anguished, horrified ... teary eyed .

This read was beyond credit worthy! Certainly worth buying. Credit/Buy/Sale .

Too unbelievable!!

This book was to drawn out and unbelievable. I just don’t buy how anyone could and would do almost everything by both characters

Amazing Book!

What did you like best about this story?

I loved this book. I bought it based on the reviews and was so happy I did. I loved the suspense and the great Characters. The Character development was amazing. You loved them, hated them, despised them, felt compassion for them... all in the same book. Just... wow!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did listen to this all in one sitting... I was trying to get Calculus homework done and kept taking "breaks" to listen to the story. Not much calculus got done that day!

One of The Best Books I've ever listen to

I highly recommend this book. Narration was great, story line was incredible. I could listen to it again.

YES YES YES

an absolute breathtaker start to finish!!! you won't regret reading this amazing story of love, hate, justice, and loyalty

This was a great read, would make a awesome movie.

One of the best books I've read this year..what a great love story with a great ending.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!

I never cry, but this was such an epic story that I cried sad tears and happy tears. This is one of the best books I have ever read and listened to. The narrorators were awesome. I would definitely recommend this book. it was so worth the credit!!!!!

Darker than I thought it would be...

In many ways this book took to long for me to become emotionally connected to the story. I was actually turned off for the first 75% of the book and it wasn't until part 4 or 5 that I actually got misty eyed. I also don't think that my emotions were for Sky and Damion, I felt more for the secondary characters than the main characters. I wish I had known that this was more of a dark romance than just a contemporary story. Although I went in blind knowing that it was a dark romance would have put me in a different mind frame and I may have been able to enjoy the story more.

This specific video review will be included in the May 2018 wrap-up.

Fantastic story

You're gonna love this story from beginning to end it will make you cry ,laugh, and fall in love awesome story definitely must read

Good.

It’s good but the glowing reviews are a bit generous in my opinion. The description was a little vague so here’s more..

The first half is a drug cartel revenge story, the second half goes into the characters in more depth.
It’s good, not great but good.
