This epic conclusion in this duet had me glued to my seat the entire time. We pick up where Heartbreak Me left off with Atlas walking away from Thea. He is angry his cousin died and blame her, which is misplaced but keeping them apart. Thea’s sister is still a crazy piece of work and is trying hard to win Atlas over and she never even loved Benji (Atlas’ cousin). I was happy that Thea is tying to find herself and sets out on a journey to better herself and get over Atlas. When she comes back it’s to new beginnings. She thinks she over Atlas, but deep down she knows she would never truly be over him. These two struggles with coming to terms things are over and when Atlas decides he can’t be without her any more he tries to win her over. I was happy that Thea finally learned to stand up for herself especially against her sister. I loved everything about this book the ups, downs, emotions everywhere, and the suspense. ( )

This book picks up where the last book left off. I had hoped that the intense push and pull between Atlas and Theodora would have continued but it seemed subdued in this book. In fact, they spent the majority of the time apart or just in passing and that bummed me out since their connection is what drew me into the story in the first place.

Atlas, in particular, was mellower in this book. It wasn't until he went back to his old tricks by repeating something that he had done before did I finally gravitate towards him again. Even Theodora seemed dull. And everything with Lucy was just over the top. In fact, when the ending came in regard to Lucy, I just was meh, in how that was resolved. In fact, that was a lot of side stories,(the dad, Lucy, the villain, Benji, Sidney/Tina, Sebastion) that left me scratching my head. Especially, as All I really cared about was the two of these characters together. I hated that the ending seemed a bit rushed and was more of a HFN for now than anything else.

There were good parts of the story, and that is why I am rounding it up to a 4, but for the most part this book didn't set me on fire the way that the first book did. These two characters burned bright so I can imagine that the author had a hard time keeping that flame burning at the same intensity. I am still glad that I read it because I did love these characters. ( )
