I loved this book even though it broke my heart so many times. I felt so bad for Cypress/Magnolia. She has the worst possible thing happen to her, through no fault of her own. She tries to kill the man who took what wasn't his to take, only to find the love of her life bleeding out on the floor. He shouldn't have been there. The situation just got out of control, so she runs. She runs as far as she can, and tries to maintain her sanity. Magnolia is trying to put herself back together, and just when she thinks she can, the past steps back in. It blows away everything she thought, and everything she might have had for her future. Now her only choice is revenge. She will get the man who took everything from her, even though it costs her everything - again.Adapt or die. Those are her choices.I love K. Larsen's writing. I'm not gonna lie and say I was fine at the end of this book, because I wasn't. I'm still not. I wanted to cry for Magnolia, Bentley, Cane, Aster, Brock and Penny. All the people that Magnolia had found, and had to give up. Even though I'm heartbroken at everything, and I do mean everything, that happened to Magnolia. I'm hopeful that she can find some happiness in the future, move forward and stop looking back. Find her happiness once again, maybe the guy at the bar is who I think, and they can find something together.I am however glad that K. Larsen is out there writing these wonderful, sometimes painful, complex, amazing books that really move me. I did love the bit that we got to see Clara, Allie, Sawyer & Dominic. I will always look for her work, no matter what. I know the story will be amazing, just like the characters. I may end up crying, but it's still very rewarding to know that an author can touch me so deeply, make me care about her characters that much. That's true talent, and I will always be a fan. If I could rate this book with 10 stars, that still wouldn't be enough. I am really loving this series. It's different, and I love different. I am so looking forward to Sawyer's story, which is next.I was given a copy of this book in return for an honest review.
