Review: This book gripped me from the beginning and never let go! I could not believe the ups and downs with the twists and turns could keep me in my place for so long. The author incited emotion in me I did not think a book could do!I cried, yelled at the book, and laughed so hard I hurt even days later from the strain on my body. There was so much heart it took mine away. I was beside myself with all of the striking detail that was a part of the characters. I wanted to call Oralia, ‘sister’.Niko is a character that just tugs at your heart strings and laugh so hard you pee your pants at the same time.The settings jumped off the pages. I felt I was right next to the characters feeling what they were feeling. It really helped that the point-of-view was from both main characters! It switched from Oralia’s point-of-view to Niko’s and back throughout the book. I was standing next to them and inside their heads at the same time. I have never had a book do that and pull it off as well as the author did in this book.The ending was a tear-jerking feeling that turned into a happy ending that I felt was correct but did not want it to end. There has to be a second book or more for the brothers of Niko to have a happy ending like him.5 StarsQuote: Niko stared into a pair of beautiful jade green eyes filled with anger and hurt. Niko was ashamed at the way he treated her. He’d never treated anyone like that in his life. He’d also never been so terrified either. The thought of losing Oralia and the girls was more than he could bear.Author’s Website: [...]
