Lost Boy

The Puck Boys of Brooks University, Book 5

By: Hannah Gray

Narrated by: Heather Firth, Thomas Oakley

I was four when my parents gave me my first pair of skates.

By six, I was hooked on hockey and couldn't get enough. At twelve, I had made a name for myself on the ice. And when I was fifteen, colleges were starting to take notice.

Life was great—until it wasn't. When I was seventeen, my best friend died in my arms. Nothing made sense after that. Drinking turned to smoking. And smoking turned to pills. But no matter how high I got, I couldn't erase that night. Or the guilt I felt.

Because that night had been my fault. My friend was dead… because of me.

As my best friend's baby sister, an actual angel sent from above, Haley Thompson is forbidden fruit, and I should stay away from her. Because everything I touch turns to crap. But like all things I'm not supposed to do, chasing her is another temptation I'm not strong enough to avoid. When I spiral down, hitting my lowest point, I know I can't take her with me. Innocent, sweet souls like her, they don't belong at the bottom.

The trouble is, she refuses to let go of me. Even if it will ruin her. Even if I will ruin her.

Honest Treatment of Addiction

While I’ll admit there were elements of this book that weren’t my thing and tropes that I don’t generally like. I might have even skipped out on it because of them, but the author pulled me in with the way she authentically portrayed the MMCs addiction without the judgment that often underpins these portrayals. It was well done.

So beautiful!

This author is brilliant! The characters are so real, going through real issues. She does a great job of capturing what a person in each situations would be feeling. Lots of times the characters are just stubborn or whiny but this is not that. You can’t help but love every character. They’re all well developed.
I was hooked from the beginning. This story is a true testament to unconditional love. They all rose above the odds and came together to get through. It was so moving. You have to read or listen. I can’t wait to hear other stories in this series because I know I’ll be on the edge of my seat for every story.

Unique story told w/ care

I honestly don’t write many book reviews, but this book stood out. It’s a really beautiful story that can be hard to read -because of the topics. However, it’s different than the cookie cutter books of this genre I tend to read. Highly recommend!

Love

Easily my top read so far this year. The performers did a great job of bringing out the emotion of Cade and Haley.

Another hit in this series!

The narrators are excellent!!! They really did a great job bringing all the characters feelings to life. I was a bit hesitant getting this book in the series because it dealt with drug use. But Hannah Gray did an excellent job weaving it a way that was serious and not dark. Loved it!!!
