The Darkest Hour for me was an intense, emotional read that I never knew where it was going. Ethan's guilt broke my heart.
The Darkest Hour (KGI #1)
by Maya Banks
He kissed her forehead and then her nose. Then both of her eyelids. he kissed the damp trails away from her cheeks and finally pressed a gentle kiss to her quivering mouth.
"The day I learned you were alive was the single greatest day of my life. For what ever reason, God gave me a second chance. He gave us a second chance. I don't deserve it, but I want it more than I want to live. I want to spend the rest of my life proving to you that you can trust me this time, Rachel."
She looked at him with such hope and devastation that it broke his heart.

Oh it is good. You have to start it again.
DeleteMaya Banks is fabulous and this sounds like a fabulous book. But was it a tear-jerker? I hate going into a book knowing that I will be a sobbing mess before its done. :(
ReplyDeleteIt was intense and emotional and broke my heart but was not a tear jerker for me.
