“Finding Serenity – Seeking Serenity Book 2” by Eden Butler5 out of 5 starsIt’s time to head back to Cavanagh, Tennessee and catch up with the cast of the Seeking Serenity series by Eden Butler. This time the focus shifts to Mollie as she begins her own journey to find the missing pieces to her puzzle.Mollie’s life has had its share of ups and downs. At thirteen, her motorcycle club president father was carted off to prison leaving her in the care of a mother who just doesn’t like her. She has had to raise herself and considers her three best friends to be her family. The recent addition of Declan to their group has given Mollie hope that maybe love can exist for her, too. Setting her sights on Vaughn, she’s ready to put herself out there and take a chance on love. When a series of events that aren’t coincidental happen, Mollie realizes her life is in danger and has to decide who to put her faith in. Will she be able to come out the other side and find her own little piece of serenity?I really liked Mollie. She’s tough as nails and very straightforward. I felt like Butler really allowed us to get to know Mollie and discover the vulnerable girl underneath the hard exterior. She wrote her in such a way that you can easily relate to her. I loved her relationship with her father. Even though her upbringing was unconventional at best, there is a real sense of unity between them and despite his absence I liked her dad.Vaughn is just as armored up as she is. Running from his own demons, the last thing he expects is to actually like Mollie. Butler is smart to write from his perspective as well. It allows us a close up view at the trauma Vaughn is working through and how it has affected him. He is a complex man and the perfect fit for Mollie. They have electricity flowing between them and the current leaps off the pages.I love that Butler continues to build up to an epic showdown between Donovan and Layla. Every scene they are in, they manage to steal the spotlight and leave you desperate for their own tale. It’s going to be out of this world hot when those two finally come together!I’m even more invested in this group after this story. I really connected with Mollie and I can’t wait to see where their journey takes them next. I am definitely recommending this series. Butler will hook you in and leave you anxious for more!*I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.*Shannon, My Secret Book Spot
