Ahhhh I forgot how much I love this book! I read these novels years ago when they first came out and really loved them. Despite being in the middle of another audiobook already, when I spotted Clipped Wings online I couldn’t help myself and completely derailed my reading schedule by starting it.



This book is completely filled with drama. From beginning to end it’s nothing but angsty longing, bad decisions, and heartbreak. I wanted to shake some sense into the characters more than once. But despite all this, there’s something so lovable about Hayden and Tenley. They’re both such flawed characters, but that’s really their appeal. It’s so nice watching their relationship grow as they find solace in one another while trying to overcome their complicated pasts.

And as a person with several tattoos of my own, I really really love the way body art and body modification was represented in this. I know what it’s like to get an important personal tattoo along with the heavy emotions that accompany them and it seemed like the author does too. It all felt so real to me that I really have to hand it to Hunting for her wonderful writing and descriptions.

FINAL WORD

I loved this. If you like emotional romances with a bit a drama, then you’ll definitely like this one.
