The Missing Years picks up right where Convicted left off, and we find out just what happened after that fateful day in the Rawlings’ estate from everyone’s perspective except Claire. Wowzers! What an eye opener! Romig did an excellent job conveying the thoughts of Harry, Brent, John, Phil, and Anthony.I can’t believe this is the end of the Consequence series. I tried to prolong reading this book because I just didn’t want it to end. I would read a little bit then put it down. Read a little bit more then put it down. Before I knew it, I was at the end of the book and sad to see everyone go. No more Anthony. No more Claire. No more John. No more Emily. No more Brent. No more Courtney. No more Phil. No more Harry. No more Eric. No more Catherine. No more revenge. Just no more.I’ll miss reading about how devoted Anthony was to Claire. How remorseful he was over their past. How much he loved her and Nichol! How he wanted to put her first and never make her feel trapped. How he would move heaven and earth to get to her. From the very beginning of this series, I never thought that I would care for Anthony, but after reading The Missing Years, I know now that he will always have a special place in my heart.I’ll miss seeing how much everyone really loved Claire. How hard it was for them and for me to read the words of Meredith Banks’ book, My Life as It Didn’t Appear. How devoted Phil was to her, and how far both Phil and Eric were willing to go to protect the Rawlings family. How much Brent and Courtney truly cared for her and would do anything to help her.I’ll miss John and his need to protect both Claire and Emily, but I won’t miss his wife, Emily. Let’s just say that seeing her through John’s eyes and knowing the consequences of her actions, I loathed her. To me, she was a watered down version of the Anthony Rawlings we saw in Consequences.Basically, I loved everything about this book. I felt so connected to the characters in the book (clearly) and will truly miss all of them.  What a way to end a series. Job well done Aleatha Romig! Round of applause. This was a great freaking read.P.S. This has to be one of the best epilogues ever written.  It wrapped up everything. No gaps. No I wonder what happened with that. And we even got to see what happened to them later on in the years.I gave this book 5 stars. Loved it!!!!!!!
