Just so you all know, I spent most of the first 100 pages cackling like a madwoman at a book. Didn’t make me look crazy at all? Nope. 

This is even better than the first. I adore Vanja and all her antics which were on display from the first pages. No more will they or won’t they, it’s how they. (How they dare to toy with my heart!) We get to learn more about Vanja’s past and her future.

I’m not ashamed to say I bawled near the end. There’s a beautiful scene with family that just felt like…home. For those of us with more found family than blood, it was a lost piece of a broken heart slotting together and being made whole. 

Margret Owen is on her way to becoming an automatic buy/read author for me. I wasn’t quite convinced with the first book, but the second one sealed the deal . This series is most definitely coming to live on my bookshelf forever.
