Review by Twinsie Melinda
I purchased the audible for this series just so I could enjoy the Reaper’s once again. Below is my original review from 2015.
I have been waiting on this book because Painter did not set well with me in the past and I wanted to give him a chance to redeem himself after everything he put Em through.
Melanie has not had an easy life. After her mother up and left her Loni took her in well she was Jess best friend. Melanie met Painter after she blew up Loni houseon accident. To Melanie he seemed nice after all he let her borrow his car for the day and that turned into a year when he got tossed in prison. So what’s a girl do she writes him letters. That’s right at this point I am yelling someone tell this girl he is not good for her. He does not do relationships she will only get hurt like Em.
OK anyway painter gets out and tries to stay away from Melanie but something is always pulling them together. Everytime I think Painter has changed and he does something good he makes a poor decision and I’m like yeap there’s the Painter I remember.
The finger painting scene was one of the best. Then to see him when he finally determined to be in Melanie’s life was great but was it a little too late for Melanie. When it came down to Standing by to watch things happen and standing up and doing something about really showed how much she changed throughout the book. No matter how hard things got or what was thrown her way she picked herself up dusted herself off and kept moving.
I did like this story it was hard to watch all of the poor decisions Painter made time and time again was glad to see Melanie get some closure regarding her mother. I did enjoy the Bonus Epilogue. Oh I hope things are able to work out between these two.
