As always, Ms. Lane pens a story and characters that will move you. You will cry. You will laugh. You will cheer when they overcome. This book has a Promises feel, so that if you liked those books, I think you will like this one as well. This book just reinforces my belief that Ms. Lane is at the top of the list as a M/M author. Hell, as an author period. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Heroes fall. Peter first came to the tiny backwater of Daisy, California, as a child, and he was sure of one thing: his cousin Michael would take care of him. When Michael started a friendship with the fragile, haunted Bodi Kovacs, Peter's consolation in losing any claim to Bodi was that Michael would care for him too. But tragedy struck, and Michael ripped himself out of their world and threw away the people who loved him most. Six years later, Michael is coming home in a box. All it took to destroy a hero was a town full of bigotry and hatred. Reclaiming him will take strength of heart that neither Peter nor Bodi had six years ago. Since Michael left, Bodi has been lost and alone. Peter can try to make Bodi his and take the role Michael should have had, but first he and Bodi have to confront the past. They will need to face Michael, the good and the bad, the beauty and the sadness, and see his memory truly for what it was and not what it could have been. It's a simple act that may destroy them both: sifting through the flaming ruins of heaven is a sure way to annihilate a bleeding mortal heart. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

Amy Lane knows how to write those books that just hit you right in the gut. The raw emotion that she can invoke with words is one of the reasons I find myself coming back to her stories again and again. There's a reality that one just cannot shake in the worlds that she creates--and this is no exception. The characters here are very well-developed and consistent, the world they live in is well-designed, and the plot itself is both interesting and well-paced. I read this in one sitting as I found it difficult to put it down.
That said, I did find the arguments that Bodi and Peter have to be rather tiresome. It's basically the same thing over and over again in different words. While I understand, based on their personalities and circumstances, that is going to happen to an extent, there did come a point when I realized "well, they're going to have this same argument in about 8 more pages..." The arguments between Peter and his aunt are similar in that they rehash the same things, but there is a progression and escalation that I didn't really see between Bodi and Peter. But it works for the story overall, and I found it less bothersome as I finished the story and looked back at it as a whole than I did in the moment.
Definitely worth checking out if you like strong stories that pull at your heartstrings and make you ache for everyone involved... ( )
