In Buried Castles, we get to continue our journey with Emily and Zack. The summer has come to a close and Emily and Zack must deal with the fallout of everything that happened at the conclusion of Broken Fairytales."That had been an all-consuming love that had swept me up in a torrent of emotion that had been unimaginable until I'd experienced it."Luckily, in this one we get to see Zack's perspective. Through Zack's eyes, we learn so many secrets that led to many of his decisions.  With this came quite a bit of emotions that left my stomach sinking. Furthermore, we experience the devastation that Zack feels as he loses his mother to cancer. All of this came together to make Buried Castles a bit more emotionally charged.  With everything going on his life, Zack never meant fall for someone and he is so conflicted about how to have everything that he wants."She was supposed to be a fun distraction, like all the other nameless and faceless girls I'd hooked up with over the years."I literally couldn't put this one down.  Broken Fairytale's ending had me so hooked and Monica Alexander did not let up as Buried Castles began.  I felt a variety of emotions when it came to Emily and Zack: pity, anger, excitement, love, etc."Besides, reality is so much better than any fairytale."I would absolutely recommend Buried Castles. It was a perfect sequel to Broken Fairytales.  The obstacles that Emily and Zack's love faced only multiplied making the ending that much sweeter.  I really did love this series and would have to give Buried Castles 4.5 stars.
