I am going to include three independent reviews for Consequences, Truth, and Convicted.Consequences:My mind is officially blown! I was originally attracted to this book because I heard that it was similar to Captive in the Dark, but after reading Consequences that is so not the case! I really don't know how to appropriately describe this book because the twists and turns have me speechless! Absolutely SPEECHLESS! My feelings for Anthony Rawlings fluctuated between love and hate. One minute I hated him for the way he treated Claire and the next minute is was absolutely charming and fully redeemed himself for his previous actions. Claire was finally living a life of normalcy (well as normal as life would get married to Anthony Rawlings) and then one day everything changed! I did not predict that turn of events. I thought for sure Claire would be forgiven after a severe consequence, but what happened next was shocking and totally far from my expectations. I not officially hate Anthony Rawlings and really hope that he will one day have to suffer his consequence!I still can't believe what happened I am completely shocked.This is an absolute must read!Truth:Oh my goodness! Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out....just breathe! Truth was an absolute roller coaster of emotions: lies, deceit, love, redemption I could hardly keep up. I must admit, so far Truth is my favorite in comparison to Consequences, the first novel in the series. After the unexpected plot twist towards the ending of Consequences there was no way Claire and Anthony's journey could end there. Truth starts right where Consequences left off by diving head first into a roller coaster of emotions. I cannot share the details of the events that take place without giving away any spoilers. All I can say is that the events that occur are completely unexpected. Most importantly the truth is exposed!! I am positive that you will not see this coming. This is a must read in order to learn more about Anthony Rawling's acquisition in regards to Claire Nichols. You will discover how one situation can affect the lives of many.This book is highly recommended.Note: I advise that you read Consequences prior to reading Truth.Convicted:I absolutely loved Convicted. When I began reading I had no idea what the heck was going on. I said to myself, "What happened that lead to this point?" I had NO idea what to expect. All I knew is what was going is broke my heart. I was thinking what happened to Claire? Where is Tony? All this was not going on at the end of Truth. These unknowns encouraged me to continue reading. I needed answers! Once again, I was battling with my love/hate relationship for Tony as the story progressed. I needed to know how Catherine fit into this mess. Then it happened. The truth was finally coming out. The pieces to the puzzle were finally starting to align. I found out who the real monster was. Did I expect it? NO! Convicted was an emotional roller coaster with twists and turns coming from every angle. Each chapter left you questioning the fate of each character. Then the timeline of events was finally exposed and things started to make sense. I'm sorry I'm being vague, but there is no way to describe this novel without exposing spoilers. What I did learn from this story is that true love can withstand any obstacle; the feeling of loss, betrayal, abuse, grief, deceit. This series was emotional, disturbing, heart-wrenching, and beautiful all at the same time. You witness the characters growing and learning from mistakes and changing for the better. Once again, Convicted ended with my absolutely loving Tony. The author showed just how loving Tony can be when his heart and priorities are in the right place. I would have been unable to accept the original fate, if a certain something did not happen. I cannot wait for Behind His Eyes to learn more about what was going on with Tony during this whole experience. I strongly recommend reading this series, but you cannot read them out of order. This series is being marked as one of my all time favorite reads. Excellent story!
