4.5 stars.Starts straight off from where we left the last book Destructive Silence....I had hoped for a different outcome, but, never mind, it wouldn't have made for a good story!Caine gets his voice heard and I am shocked when he is at the hospital while Lacey is on life support....but he doesn't come clean, he doesn't tell anyone the reasons she was in that road! The piece of work! ( so polite )We get the light side of L.U Ann with Becca at the hospital and a cast of amazing Nurses and Doctors sent to see to Lacey and her Hoo Hah, her injuries and deal with the repercussions of that night...Lacey is in hospital for a while, recovering, most in a coma and the rest for physical therapy.Whilst there, Devon, the one she was supposed to meet, realises she is there, and the beautiful friendship blossoms.......sparks are flying, he is already smitten.....but with what she has been through....slow is the way to go.This book is traumatic, drama filled and that is without Caine and Lacey being in a relationship, He is always there in the background, a reminder, a constant threat, even when Lacey and Devon are together....But this isn't the only emotional drama, we learn so much more about Lacey's background and upbringing, the 1/2 chapter flashbacks brought more revelations, how can one person, one family go through so much and still be standing?Finding out after book one that the author was Lacey, well, even more admiration for being able to pour your heart and soul into the pages of this book, laying parts of you bare.....so much strength.Lacey's Moms story was heartbreaking, so difficult, as you can never really understand what is going on in someone's head no matter how close or well you know them. You can't tell someone with depression or bipolar to cheer up, or do something to make yourself happy......it doesn't work like that. Those black clouds don't move on their own, you just have to hope that people find and recognise ways to blow holes in those clouds and let some of the white fluffy ones shine through.......Books like these sure do blow holes in those black clouds......
