“It’s too late, can’t they see? She is already dead. No one can save her. Just like no one saved me.”
“But you’re gentle. You are kind. You are cherished. And you are so fucking strong.”
“The truth is better than lies, even if the truth is fucking horrific.”
“You taught me pleasure isn’t always pain. You freed me.”
“I got you, my beautiful broken boy.”


I’m truly speechless. This book was absolutely amazing and I loved every second of it!

I loved learning more about Dexy, his past truly was heartbreaking and learning more about it made me understand him more as a character.

The relationship development between Dex and Liam was so sweet and I loved how understanding Liam was to Dexy’s struggles and helped to heal him. Izzie was a fun character who made me laugh, and the bond between her and Liam reminded me of Iris & Jasper.

Also loved seeing Iris and Jasper and learning what they were doing after Sutton. Iris might be unhinged and crazy, but she’s so sweet and protective towards her family, exactly like Liam was towards his sister.

Overall an amazing read. I would love to read more about Dex and the other characters in the future.
