REV. FLETCHER. I fell in love with Rev in book 1, and just about lost my mind when I found out he had a book of his own. Declan was a wonderful protagonist in book 1, but Rev fascinated me, and I'm so glad we got a book about him and his life. He's so complex and kind and his trauma is so woven into everything about him, but in a way that makes him so fun and interesting to read. Emma was such a charming narrator, though she irked me at times. I was repeatedly upset with how poorly she treated her best friend, but she redeemed herself in the end. also, if you're meeting up with a guy you've never met in person before, DON'T GET IN HIS CAR!!! I just knew it would be a disaster the moment she got into a car with a stranger. From that point she handled it well but WHAT was she thinking with that one????? Overall, this book brings me to tears every time I read it and I would simply read ten more books of just Rev being Rev. Yet another slay from Brigid Kemmerer.

If you don’t like YA books, read this. That may sound strange but this is very different from your typical YA book. It’s not cheesy and handles very heavy topics really well. I absolutely love Rev Fletcher. I liked him a lot in Letters to the Lost (the first book to this companion novel) but I honestly started reading this book to see more of Juliet and Declan. HOWEVER, I was reading it for Rev by chapter two. I just want to hug him and protect him. He’s honestly my favorite boy character ever. He was the sweetest. I cried so many times during this book. There were happy tears and sad tears and angry tears and frustrated tears… it was a mess haha. Please look up trigger warnings, but if you read it, you’ll love it.
