This series has me BY THE THROAT. I’ve loved Joey’s character in the first two books that were focused on Johnny and Shannon so I was so excited to get to his book. I just care for him so much and seeing him fight the situation he’s been put in and try to change for Aoefa was so beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Their love for each other is so raw and real and painful and I felt my chest caving in so many times while reading this. The only reason it isn’t 5 stars is because the last quarter of the book was a little repetitive but I’m so excited to dive into the 2nd half of their story next.
