We learned a little about Silas through the first 4 books in this series. We thought he was crazy. Like mentally, it was documented. But in the beginning of this book we find the truth. Or at least part of it. 

Coraline was saved from her life of torment at the hands of the man who also ruined Sila's life when his first love Rosalie died. All because the Hallow Boys shut down the sex trafficking ring.  But it's her torment really over? Not with Stephen escaping prison. He's haunting the Hallow Boys and her. 

Silas says he'll never love again because it hurts. Coraline says she'll never love because she's cursed... But the strong silent man and the strong broken girl, well they are more than the whispers of the town. 

I absolutely loved this book. It was both closure and a cliffhanger. What do I mean? Like I know more could happen in everyone's story. But to be honest, it was a beautiful ending. Though I kind of wish we could see Regina fall further from grace. I really hate that see you next Tuesday.
