REVIEW:
Possible triggers: talks of rape and beatings and severe abuse.
This was good for an ending. Not at all what I was expecting. I will tell you that. I had a feeling in the end, where they would end up but other than that, I was shocked at the turns of events and how it all worked out.
Austin, Tan, and Mack are trying to survive, but with the latest earthquakes, they know they’re going to have to move and soon. Things are falling apart, their hideout is collapsing and things are looking grim. They come up with a plan to take out the aliens, when caught by others themselves. The others are a breakoff of soldiers, one being someone Tan knows. And they conclude that it would be better to work together. But that doesn’t mean there is any trust there. But when they make the attack, they find their old friend Pax helping them out in more ways than one. But even with Pax and his friends’ help, will they be able to survive what is happening to the world, or is this their end?
I was so proud of these boys. I really was. To go through what they had in their lives and come out relatively sane at all, is very telling. Tan has PTSD, Mack has a way of going off into himself to cope, but they still keep going. And Mack has more than proven he could have been someone high ranking in the military or something, with how smart and efficient he was. His survivor skills were right on and he knew what he was doing. But what made me even more proud, was that even though they may have had flashbacks or for Tan, something worse, they were coming to grips with things that had happened to them and were learning to deal with it. Learning to cope and totally rely on each other. Knowing that they had each other’s backs, no matter who or what came along. They stuck beside each other through thick and thin, the ups and downs and everything in between. Even if all they had ever again was each other, they were happy with that. They were happy they had each other and could finally love each other freely and happily. They’ve grown so much. And each day, they seem to get stronger and stronger. Knowing they had the support to get through anything.
The twists in this book were good too. I wasn’t expecting the few surprises that came along but they turned out well. Hesitant at first on some things. Which was understandable. But it was a good ending.
