6 SOUL SHATTERING STARSOh. My. God. I have read some heart breaking books before, but nothing which has completely and utterly crushed my soul the way the story of Ellison and Hunter did. There is seriously no coming back and repairing myself after reading this. M.S. Willis has done it again with another phenomenal book. Completely different than the other stories I have read by her, this touched me in a way like no other, and hit extremely close to home. They say some people touch your lives and make it so you are never the same again, and well I believe the same to be for books. Because of Ellison is one of those stories. Heed the warning, and stock up on Kleenex… You are going to need it. I was warned, and I took about a month to prepare myself for what I was about to read, and the truth is, nothing can prepare you for the heartache which will ensue.With that being said, Because of Ellison is not all tears and pain. Actually, believe it or not, it had me laughing and smiling many times in the beginning. The banter back and forth between Ellison and Hunter was lighthearted and fun (although extremely aggravating at times because I just wanted them to be together already darn it!). And I was left with a serious case of….well, I can't say on amazon LOL.Each and every character was extremely well developed, and you could not help but fall in love with the majority of them. Even the ones I hated still made me feel, and the only reason I hated them was because they were the “villains” of the story (not because they were badly executed). Ellison and Hunter have to be two of my favorite characters in any book ever (in my top 5) and I only wish that there would be more of them in the future. Ellison is strong, quick witted, and has such a remarkably huge heart. She is always looking to help others, and putting them before herself at times. Hunter is the exact opposite in the beginning. He is the spoiled little rich kid who cares too little, and parties too much. But his whole world changes once he meets Ellison, and the outcome is astounding."But, more importantly, I'd met Ellison James and I knew that just knowing the girl was going to change my life forever"M.S. Willis must be one of the most versatile writers I have ever had the pleasure of reading the work of. Most authors who are able to write different genres usually have one in particular which they forte in, but not M.S. Willis. She fortes in each and every type of story she writes. She has quickly become one of my favorite authors, and has remained that way since I turned to page one on the very first book I read by her. This is one author that NEEDS to be known by the world, and whose work will certainly leave a lasting impression among many.
