**Saving Quinton is the second book in a series. Do not read it until you have read the first book, Breaking Nova. This review will contain spoilers if you haven't read the first book!**Let me start by saying, prepare yourself before you start this story. Your heart is going to hurt and expect alot of anxiety. I knew Nova was on the right track and was healing, but Quinton's future seemed so ominous at the end of book one. I was afraid to see what his future held in this one.It turns out my fears were correct. This book is not for the readers looking for a HEA or hearts and flowers. It is gritty and dark. It takes you into the dangerous and scary world of drug use. Jessica doesn't take it easy on you. She writes about Quinton's situation with startling imagery. You are taken on a journey of what goes on in the mind of someone lost to the crippling addiction of hard drug use."I've been going for days, strung out on line after line, my eyes bulging out of my head..."Saving Quinton was a gripping book. I have never experienced the world Jessica Sorensen took me to. I've always heard stories of those parts of big cities, where all of society's rejects reside. Quinton's story took me inside those run down buildings and inside the minds of the people living in them. My heart hurt for those poor kids lost in their addictions. Their young lives wrapped up in constant danger and almost certain death by overdose or outside forces. At one point, the reality of Quinton, Tristan, and Delilah's lives was almost too much for me to keep going.Nova's patience and strength was so admirable in this book. Gone was the broken girl from book one. She still had her moments of doubt, but she never let it stop her. I loved that her character was by no means perfect. She didn't go from broken to super woman. She just refused to let the darkness win. Saving Quinton was the only option for her.All I can see is be prepared for a journey into a very dark and disturbing world. I was sucked in from the first page. Saving Quinton is a sad tale, but it is also a beautiful story of just how far one person will go to save another. It is a story that will take you to the brink of despair, but it also will fill your heart with hope. You get to see the worst and the absolute best that humanity has to offer.I admit that I am a huge Jessica Sorensen fan from the first book she ever published, so I knew I would love this one. I just didn't know I would love it so much! Her writing is gritty, real and she can capture feelings in her words like no one else. Please read this 5+ Hooker book (and series). The series is so original and I promise it will leave it's mark on your soul!!
