REVIEW:
TRIGGERS: severe emotional, mental, verbal and physical abuse. Please be careful. It is described.
Geez, this was one hell of a roller coaster. I’ve been in Hayden’s shoes many times, wondering when things were going to quit falling down around you. But geez, Hayden just had it rough. I wasn’t too happy with the ending. After all that build up and everything that happened, it just was over. You blink and miss it kind of thing. No explanation of who the problem was or anything. Just kind of fell flat for me.
If any man had a reason to drink or something, it was Hayden. The one person in the world that he was closest to had died. His boyfriend was seriously about to kill him. His mother was a bitch, plain and simple. He had nothing to love for anymore. But just when he had no more hope, a glimmer came in the form of his old friend, Joseph. Joseph blew in like a whirlwind and seemed to solve all of his problem. He couldn’t bring the dead to life again, but he helped with everything else and brought life back into Hayden. But just when life seemed to be perfect, Joseph had to leave, and devastated Hayden all over again. But Joseph couldn’t stay. Hayden knew that, but it didn’t help how he felt. For years, it was come and go sporadically. Just when Hayden finally seemed to catch his breath, Joseph would blow in for a day or two and uproot Hayden all over again. But this may be the very last time. The danger that is Joseph’s life may engulf them all. And Hayden doesn’t know if he will survive this time.
For the love of Pete, give Hayden a break. Wow. If it wasn’t one thing it was something else. And every time he thought he had it together, something else would sweep his feet out from under him. Unfortunately, I know the feeling. It’s insane. And Joseph, I was so happy when he found Joseph again. Or more like, Joseph found him again. It was like sunshine finally entered his life. Just sucks that Joseph’s job made things harder.
But I understood Joseph’s point of view. He wasn’t expecting things to happen the way they did. As he wanted to protect everyone he holds dear. He was a danger to those around him. And he would never endanger anyone. It’s torment for him, knowing he has to come and go and basically hide from the world. Never being able to really love or have much of a life.
This is a book that will have you all over the place. It’s great one minute, devastating the next. It’s good, but it’s a roller coaster ride for sure.
