Keeping 13 (Boys of Tommen Book 2)
Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is the second book in this duology/series and it was everything we needed and more in the conclusion of Johnny and Shannon's story. Again, it is a fairly long book, but it definitely kept my interest! It had a couple of slower parts, but I feel like they only added to the anticipation of what was to come. Just like book 1, this book elicited a pretty heavy emotional response which kept me engaged for the entirety of the novel. One scene in particular had my anxiety so ramped I couldn't read fast enough. I experienced every emotion reading this book! I did tear up again during this read, which is highly unusual for me. Johnny and Shannon remain one of my new favorite book couples. I thought what these two went through in the first book was rough, but the second book...again no words! My stance remains...they are simply everything. I can't wait to read the remaining novels in the series.

***Please note there is mature content and triggers in this book, and overall this is a pretty emotionally heavy book.

I loved both Binding 13 and Keeping 13, I think they are amazing books and well worth a read. I strongly advise anyone to read the triggers first, I went in blind and wasn't prepared for the heartbreaking and how disturbing it could sometimes be. 
Shannon and Johnny have to be one of my favorite book couples and this book was the perfect ending (for now 🤞🏾) to their story.

The only thing I would say is I felt the book was just too long. At times it seemed to be really slow with not much h ppening. I think the storyline could've been covered in only 2/3 of the book.

ky_lah's review against another edition

So badly written. The book did not have to be so long, everything was repeated constantly, sometimes even word for word. The characters were boring and annoying. It was frustrating to get through. There was one character I liked and considered how many there are that’s a shit percentage. Not a good book. So annoyed I wasted so long on it
