great characters and great story development- you can't put it down
This was an amazing read! There is nothing like a good book that keeps you locked in, page after page waiting for what's happening next because it is such a well written story. The character development is amazing, and the side characters add to the complexity of the story. Everything flows so well, it's like a well oiled machine.
When I was just a third of the way through all I could say is this book is freaking good! We don’t have to wait to see their chemistry, but it still feels like a slow burn because it’s 1 step forward two steps back, but everything feels like you are just waiting for either things to take off or the shoe to drop, which makes for a great read.
The one thing I love is the genuineness of how Wells is so confident, but it’s also like a mask and he spends a lot of time getting in his own way. I love how Kellan pulls a lot of that emotion out of him and it’s like Wells is forces to face his drama, but he is really working hard to be be difficult at times, knowing he is doing it.
The ending was definitely worth it, and though it leaves a lot to be worked out, I am hoping to get more books from Mel McCabe because I have a lot of other characters I need to know all about - I’m looking at you Reed, Coop, Dutch, and Carter. - and I secretly would love to know more of Wells and Kellan’s story (though another book on them wouldn’t make sense, I got the closure I needed).
