This book overwhelmed me.  After Destructive Silence I was hoping for a HEA.  Or at least an end to some of Lacey’s pain.  But the hits keep on coming!This book starts just as the first one ends. Lacey is in the hospital and in a medically induced coma.  But she can hear the talk around her and all of the voices- even Caine’s.  This part broke my heart- who am I kidding this entire book broke my heart.As she starts to heal she realizes that she has to get away from Caine, and keep Evan far away from him.  Add to that the revelations about her father and mother- and damn-you’d think that would be enough.  Her childhood nightmares are actually reality.There are bright spots though.Devon.  He is my newest amazing book boyfriend.  Forget all the naysayers that love at first sight is not real- he proves that it is!  He is a shining spot for Lacey and Evan.Becca.  Her Becclish as well as all the sass she throws around are just f’n incredible.  She is who we should all have as a best friend.  Loyal and one of the first to call Lacey on her BS.Lane.  What more can be said than she is a wonderful big sister.  She and husband Blake are there for Lacey and their family.  Love her.Grandma Pain.  Enough said.  She rocks.Then the dark spots that persist.Caine- he shows his true nasty side even more in this book.  I was hopeful from the beginning that he had changed- but nope- don’t think it is going to happen.Lacey’s mom.  She is so damaged and her mental illness so devastating.  Her actions and words in this book- wow- completely understand Lacey’s reaction.  But the Unspoken Note chapter- sobs!I am so hopeful at the end of this book.  Even though I spent the last 1/3 of the book crying I hope that th last line was true.  Oh please let it be true.This is an incredibly intense and at times dark book.  The story is well written and the honesty jumps off the page.  The characters are full of depth and feeling.  An amazing series.
