I already miss Anthony and Claire...I hate to see this series come to a close.  What am I gonna do??!?  I'm already going through withdrawals.......He set his prisoner free and discovered the prisoner was himself....and she held the key.  To his heart....to his freedom.He had given her everything...EV-E-RY-THING.... and then took it all away...all for the sake of a vendetta. And in the process - - he'd lost everything. Oh, he still had his money and prestige - - but his life is empty..vacant and void....without "her". Without Claire. When he'd punished her, he himself was punished! She was his absolute everything. The "Vendetta" of his grandfather had robbed and punished HIM! Tony begins to realize how much he really needs her in his empty, lonely, black hole of a life. She IS his life...his happiness and future.I didn't think this series could've gotten any better than the first three booksConsequences (Volume 1),Truth (Consequences),  andConvicted...but it continued to build to a thunderous crescendo. And now we can continue to take a privileged peek into Tony's warped thinking....that resulted in his warped actions withBehind His Eyes - Consequences: Book 1.5 of the Consequences Series,Behind His Eyes - Truth (Reading Companion to the bestselling Consequences Series) (Volume 5)andBehind His Eyes - Convicted (Reading Companion to the bestselling Consequences Series) (Volume 4)I realize we individuals come in all shapes, sizes and "uniqueness"...however for the life of me I cannot fathom anyone givingBehind His Eyes - Convicted (Reading Companion to the bestselling Consequences Series) (Volume 4): Reading Companion to the Bestselling Consequences Series anything less than 5✮'s. In a word, it's phenomenal! Brutally so. Never have I been so captivated with a series since Fifty Shades of Grey...and even though this storyBehind His Eyes - Convicted (Reading Companion to the bestselling Consequences Series) (Volume 4)is absolutely nothing like FSOG, it's still a non-interrupted, glued to your seat page turner. And ... is no less enthralling and consuming.He's 6'6", very dark with his black hair and penetrating black/brown eyes, and extremely handsome....and he's deadly. He's power personified. He's severely aggressive, controlling, condescending and demanding. He can be a charming and polite gentleman when he wants to. ...he doesn't want to. Not usually anyway. He's abrasive, abusive and brutal. He's a total dominant authority in all things. He's mesmerizing, callous and commanding. He is Anthony Rawlings...and with Claire, well...he's possessive and obsessed with her. She becomes his absolute reason for living. Nobody is more surprised than Anthony, aka: Tony.But now Tony Rawlings is truly a changed man...and he's voluntarily going to prison.  Now that he has a family....appearances no longer hold the same importance...nor does reputation.  Not. At. All.  All that matters now is his wife and daughter.  Nothing else.  Seeing things clearly now, he's no longer consumed with vengeance.  Yet because he's maintained a perfect facade his whole life for appearances' sake, those same fake, perfectly performed and contrived appearances are currently rising up to mock his every move.  The infamous Anthony Rawlings has dug himself into a hole - - all because of his past history of maintaining appearances.  And even though Tony is a changed man, he cannot outrun his past crimes.I'm so amazed at the talent of this fabulous author...to bring this raw and vulnerable story of Anthony Rawlings and Claire Nichols full circle and tie up many complicated sub-plots so perfectly and amazingly well.  There are no loose threads...no holes.This story of Anthony Rawlings' POV is an amazing insight to his mind and actions. Definitely a "must read"...(but only after you've read "THE CONSEQUENCES TRILOGY").  In a word...Outstanding!
