3.5 Stars in my Sky!If you haven't read Destructive Silence I would definitely recommend reading it first because Destructive Choices picks up the story right from the end of book one.After the cliffy at the end of the last book, Lacey has to rebuild her life, she also has to want to move on. There were so many times in book one where I really wanted her to speak up and tell her family what was going on with Caine. In this book I was really worried she was going to make the wrong decision.I honestly didn't know how Lacey would cope with Evan, and wondered what Caine would do next. I loved Devon and wanted her to make the right choice. In book one I wasn't sure about Lacey, I empathised with her but found her immature and unlikable at times (this may have been down to her teenage dialogue). Lacey's struggle and spirit came across more in Destructive Choices and I ended up reconsidering what had previously annoyed me about her; she's young, struggling and manipulated by Caine yet she works hard to survive.The stuff with her family, both in the past and throughout the book, was really upsetting and it's devastating people are suffering from similar things. I sometimes found the book difficult to read because the story covers some very traumatic issues, but then I suppose this is exactly the point; when people experience difficult issues it should never be easy to hear about!Destructive Choices is not an light read and if you're into an obvious HEA then this is not the book for you. I was on edge for quite a lot of the story and the ending nearly caused me to throw my kindle at the wall. BUT I appreciated the plot and how L.U. Ann opened her heart and covered such difficult issues.I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review!
