Bittersweet Always (Gray Springs University, #2) ~ Ella Fields

Toby Hawthorne was an enigma.

One I didn’t factor into my college plans.

I wasn’t looking for love.

I wasn’t not looking for it either.

And in that state of in-between, he found me.

Unaware of the battle he fought everyday, I fell fast.

By the time I found out, it was too late.

Because I wanted everything.

Every broken, lost part of him.

I knew I couldn’t fix him.

I could only love him.

But I should’ve known better than to think that was enough.

Warning: This book contains sensitive subject matter.

I devoured this book is one sitting  - was late to work since I was up All. Night. Long.

the subject matter was so well written and we got both sides which made it so much more engaging!

I don't think I'll be able to express just how much I LOVED this book..

It was about unconditional love.

It was about loving someone so much you put aside your fears and just gave yourself  to them.. heart, mind and soul!

Pipa even knowing first hand how much her life had been affected by Mental Illness decided to take a chance and wear her heart on her sleeve for all that it was worth.. She wanted to love strong for the both of them even if it would never be enough.

And Toby!! oh Toby watching him struggle, deal daily and finally coup with his Mental illness was just incredible. It ultimately had to be his decision. He had to realize and accept what his responsibilities were and take charge . And he did!!

I don't want to go to much into the book other than to say it was a Beautiful story about family, acceptance, unconditional love and friendship when you thought you were in the dark alone but weren't!!

The Goodbye Girl (Red Market, #2) ~ Mary E. Palmerin & A. Giannoccaro

The Red Market is where every pound of flesh has a price tag tacked onto it. It is a place where money can buy you everything, even a heart.

Caesar has fallen and a new boss, Mateo, has risen; but he has lost his Lettie Doll and he doesn't know where to find her. She stole his soul and now he must find someone to replace her. Just like her love, his new power is an illusion. The real force behind the Red Market is about to show her cards and no one wants to play her game.

Mateo and Lettie will both have to fight to find their love, but sometimes it is only found in death. You cannot go through life unnoticed by demise when you play with it every day. Sooner or later, it catches up with you and you lose. 

**Graphic content warning. Taboo, violent themes prevalent throughout. Reader discretion is highly advised.***

This is not a pretty read.. You will have nightmares.. (I have)

It's sick, it's perverse, it's taboo it's gory and raw..

Simply put it was....

 Not only was the story line intense but we dealt with so MANY mental disorders..

We were taken through a horror ride where we got to see their triggers and what essentially made most of them go off the deep end.. Not they were very far from it to begin with..

SOOOO many secrets exposed.. There was never a moment of peace.. 

All the ulterior motives were dealt with.. Ghost made their Grand appearances...

There were some scenes as with the first book that were just 

insane.. More than anything scary because it happens, people do these things..

Gahhh it was CRAZY!!!!

Mateo and his Dolly issues....

The craziest part from all of this??

It had a Happy Ending!!

Yes it did..

and crazier for me to admit?

I was happy and content with it.. I accepted it..

Read at your own risk...
