Life shattered my bones, now it wants to break my heart.

Jaymerson Holloway thought all her grief and pain were behind her. Unfortunately, life has other ideas.

Where stories don’t end happily. 

Where hearts shattered into pieces and love slips through your fingers.

Leaving everything behind to follow her dreams, Jaymerson travels to Italy, where she learns to stand on her own, move on with her life, and open her heart to another. But nothing prepares her for seeing Hunter’s life explode over the TV screen and watching his success, which comes with lots of women wanting a piece of The Haze. Crueler is the agony of seeing him fall in love with another. But that isn’t even the worst of it.

When she returns home and their paths cross, they are no longer the same people. The old animosity they once felt for each other flares the ties between them. Especially when more secrets and truths are uncovered. 

Like moths to flames, their undeniable chemistry continues to pull them to each other and tangle their lives together, even though it will only end in heartbreak and sorrow.

MY  REREAD REVIEW

Disclaimer: This review MAY contain SPOILERS.

This series has obliterated me for a second time. Rereading this series has only solidified my undying love for this story, these characters, and this author!

The amount of emotion that is packed into this series is almost overwhelming. This is the kind of book series that changes you. You will never be the same after reading it. This story left a mark on my soul. When I first reviewed this book I said that "when I went into this series I had no idea that these books would come to mean so much to me. This book series has pulled out my heart, shattered it, taped it back together, broken it some more, and healed again the way that only a climactic and emotional story can." This still rings true. Maybe even more so after reading it a second time. 

Stacey Marie Brown has character creation and development down to an art. She is seriously talented when it comes to creating characters with depth, chemistry, and tremendous growth. She writes the kind of characters that will continue to mean something to you long after you finish reading the story. I can't express the depth of my love for the characters in this series. 

Brown plotted out this series like a boss. Seriously. Everything that happens has so much meaning behind it. The series of events and the situations in this series are compound and not only provide for incredible character growth but for reader growth as well. There are so many things packed into this series. There is loss, pain, anger, love, tragedy, friendship, and so much more. The reader grows in their heart just from experiencing these things along with the characters. 

Overall, I am still a sobbing mess on the floor for this series. This reread is taking place three months after reading it the first time. I am a complete fool for these characters and I don't think that I will ever be rid of my need to read these books. I feel like an addict, but I wouldn't have it any other way. A great book series will keep readers coming back to it and this series accomplishes that effortlessly. I am thrilled that the third book is releasing this month and I can't wait to dive into it with refractory abandon.
