***4 Stars***
Nothing can ever be easy, can it?
Those were the words that popped up in my head many, many times while going on this journey with Nate and Sam, because, heaven help me. Nate did NOT make anything easy. True, he was stuck between a rock and a hard place, but he made things so much more difficult than they needed to be, more interesting for sure. But even though I desperately wanted to shake some sense into him, I couldn’t keep from turning the pages because the need to find out the ‘secret’ was strong and in the end, it was quite a doozy!
Nate and Sam were quite the pair. I really liked them. Both, at their very cores, are good people who are dealing with some stressful situations. Nate’s way of dealing is to dig deep into his baser urges ~ which he finds are a bit dark ~ and yet still finds a way to keep his heart from going absolutely black. Sam doesn’t pull any punches, even when she’d prefer to be invisible. She isn’t afraid to let everyone know how she feels, and yet there is a softness to her that comes out at the most interesting of moments.Their journey is intense and filled with a lot of assumptions, but when those assumptions are finally verbalized and the air is clear, they find that their jagged edges fit.
As much as Nate and Sam’s interactions fascinated me, it was finding out the “secret” that really held my interest from the very start and though I didn’t figure it out until the big reveal ~ which was its own kind of crazy ~ I thoroughly enjoyed watching as all the pieces finally came together and, crazily enough, made sense in the end. As for the cast of characters that inhabited this world, the only one I truly liked was Monica and I’m hoping that we get to see her get her own HEA down the road. The rest...well, they were questionable at best.
