REVIEW
5 out of 5
This was another surprisingly somewhat dark story from Kerner, but with a ray of hope woven in. This book was an absolute ride from start to finish – with dark elements and a journey of healing. Mia is such a strong woman, and survives a lot. Damon has such a big heart, it’s hard to not love him. There’s a lot of tension even though it’s a short read, and you’ll want to read this in one sitting once you start. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for something that is both dark and hopeful.
