We are back in Signal Bend, just a few months from where Move the Sun ends. Both Isaac and Lilli are still healing from what has just happened. Isaac is experiencing feelings that he has never felt before as well as Lilli. For Lilli it is her loss of self protection and strength and Isaac it was the fear of losing the one he truly loved.Lilli continues to be an amazing heroine. Though I feel that we saw a softer side of her in Behold the Stars, at her core, she was still that fighter. Lilli was smart, resourceful and always laid everything out on the table. There really was never any second guessing with her. But after what had happened, Lilli felt stripped of her strength . She needed to know that she could take care of herself again. That she was just as strong as she ever was.“You are strong, Sport. Jesus, you’re like a shield-maiden, or a Valkyrie or something. “You make me stronger. I need you with me. It scares me to think of something happening to you.”There was never second guessing with Isaac either. Isaac always gave Lilli all of himself. He was her protector (whether she wanted it or not) and he needed her. As strong as he was, Lilli gave him more strength. But Isaac needed to understand Lilli a little better. He needed accept her independence she desperately needed to hold on to.“I’m afraid for you, too, you know. It’s a two-way deal between us.” We need to trust each other, love. That’s what we need.”Things in Signal Bend were anything but peaceful. Lawrence Ellis is unrelenting and will do whatever he needs to do to gain control of Signal Bend so that the town will do all his dirty work. With Isaac feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders he and his brothers of Horde, MC are set to fight a battle that may be uneven but they will do what it takes to protect the people of Signal Bend.Amongst the craziness that begins to unfold, Lilli is trying to find her place in Signal Bend. Slowly things start to fall into place for her. She finds happiness is the simple things.....At about the 50% mark of Behold the Stars things implode. Isaac, Lilli, Showdown and the rest, face some pretty painful things. Their strength and resolve is tested. I won’t say much more because I don’t want to give things away but I will say that after this point I could not put this book down.I think what I loved most about this book was the unpredictability. Susan Fanetti took me on quite a ride with this story. Even when the book took on a dark grittier feel she took care in bringing me through it. Never once did I question Isaac and Lilli’s passion for each other. And she brings these two full circle along with the others. ❤Moving on to book 3! I am looking forward to Show’s story and I so hope we get to see Isaac and Lilli again.
