S.K. Hartley did it again. She took control and gripped my heart, letting it go only when things would be ok. This was gripping and exciting and so full of an amazing love of Low. Finding Us is Low and Tate’s story, and what a story.I loved Low in the first two books, she has a spunk about her that I could just never get enough of, but when it comes to her story, I wasn’t prepared for this. Dark secrets cloud Low’s life. The are what controls her thoughts, her habits, everything it seems, but her heart. She has a new life, she took a new start, there were things she couldn’t control and that is what scared her the most. She didn’t want to live in fear, she didn’t want to live in hiding. She wanted to live a normal life. And she was, but she was always waiting for the walls to close in around her.Along with the scars from her past, she hid the fear well. No one knew the story, no one had seen any of the scars. Not the scars on the outside, certainly not the ones on the inside. But Tate was so in love with her, if anyone knew her, he did. But how could he? She has never been honest with him, with any of them. These are her friends. These are the people she wants to be with. She chose them. But lie after lie has caused Low so much internal turmoil. She knows they will never get to know the real her.But then she gets word… it’s about to get real… and scary… and ugly and now she knows she has to say goodbye. That alone terrifies her more than any of it. How is she going to let Tate go? There is no way to say goodbye to the one that controls her soul.S.K. Hartley takes us on an exciting journey through Low’s life. And by exciting, I don’t mean she was a rebellious little kid with some scary things in her life… I mean she was trained from a young age to live a life she didn’t want. It was a lot to take in and definitely pretty dark, but it was gripping and thrilling.My absolute favorite part of this book was the tender scenes between Low and Tate. The love, the comfort and the strength was moving and heart-warming. But Tate is pretty amazing all by himself and the love he has for Low is everything. It is beautiful.This book is a 5-star read for sure, but this entire series, is one of my favorites. I love this book and this series and the next book is already a must read on my TBR!
