Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me.
Bullshit.
Words destroyed me.
“I’m sorry. She didn’t make it.”
“Daddy, he can’t breathe!”
“There’s nothing more we can do for your son.”
Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me.
Lies.
Those syllables and letters became my executioner. I told myself that, if I didn’t acknowledge the pain and the fear, they would have no power over me. But, as the years passed, the hate and the anger left behind began to control me.
Two words—that was all it took to plunge my life into darkness.
“He’s gone.”
In the end, it was four soft, silky words that gave me hope of another sunrise.
“Hi. I’m Charlotte Mills.”
I absolutely loved the first book and was extremely excited
to begin The Brightest Sunset. While
I still loved this one, I just didn’t as much as I had The Darkest Sunrise but it was close. Once again I was taken on an emotional roller
coaster ride that had me not knowing what side was up when I was done. I am emotionally drained; I was still drained
from the previous book when I began this one and I don’t know when I may level
out again.
Aly Martinez has a beautiful ability to engage you while
reading her books. They all have
emotional upheavals and angst in them and before she allows your heart to
repair itself little by little. I know
you are probably asking yourself why am I not going in depth with this review,
well I don’t want to accidentally spoil anything because like the first book
you need to experience it for yourself. Just know that when I say your emotions will
be all over the place I am not exaggerating, I love those books that will have
you crying one moment and angry the next.
Charlotte and Porter will consume your life while you are reading.
The Brightest Sunset
is a book that I can easily recommend, just make sure you have read book one
first. Aly Martinez has once again
written a book that will stay with me for a long time to come.
