I spent a lot of time with Very Wicked Things with an ache in my chest. There was so much pain and hurt in this book. but the power of love is so beyond resounding. It was moving, touching and incredible. Ilsa Madden-Mills takes us on a journey that I did even know I wanted to be on.It is over. He destroyed her. He broke her heart. But no one has really ever explained exactly what when wrong. It has been a year since Cuba has talked to Dovey. A year since he broke her heart and destroyed her. She has tried every day for a year to make sense of it all, but once he took the one thing that she owned, he was gone. Determined not to let it change her future, Dovey does everything in her power to stay strong and move on.But let’s face it, their lockers were right next to each other and Cuba had spent almost a year trying to avoid her. He didn’t want to answer her questions, he didn’t want to admit his fault in the entire situation. He just needed to treat her like every other girl and move on with his life.But keeping going seemed to be the easy part for both of them, the healing part not so much. So many unanswered questions and that deep emotional bond that had these two connected could have been broken forever, but can that spark that just doesn’t seem to go away be exactly what they need to find their way back to one another or is it too late? Has the damage already been done?Let me tell you the heartbreak in this book from parents to friends, to one another was a lot to take in. I felt my chest tightening over and over. I couldn’t fathom how these two could continue to hurt each other the way they had. But I also believe it made it that much more powerful to read.Ilsa Madden-Mills takes the two people that are so completely opposite and finds a way for them to try and have it all. Whether they work or not, is just something to experience in this book, but I found myself turning page after page hoping with each turn. My heart broke for the characters over and over again.Well written and very intriguing, this book is not to be missed!*I received a complementary of this book in exchange for an honest review
