A very emotional read. Not just the main characters, but the citizens of Crossroads have gone through so much. There are many secrets being kept and soon one by one they are revealed. Scarlett has experienced so much in her young life I don't know how she can handle anymore bad news. The death of her grandparents has her coming back to Crossroads for the first time in years. Revell has loved Scarlett for his whole life and has hoped she would come back. The love he has for her is so unconditional that you can't help, but root for him. It's heartbreaking as well when the answers Scarlett is looking finally answered. I enjoyed watching Revell woo Scarlett with his easy going charm and acceptance, but is it enough to keep Scarlett with him. I definitely shed a few tears in this one because it just pulls out the emotions in me. The title fits this book so well. Also liked the secondary romance going on between Alex and Polly Anna.
I was given a copy of Stained by Elizabeth Marx to read in exchange for my honest opinion and I LOVED it! There aren’t really any words to explain all the emotions I felt while reading this book. I couldn’t put it down and read it from start to finish in almost one sitting (I had errands that interrupted…..boo!!). Scarlett “Sissy” Marbry was an amazing character and I totally felt her pain throughout the story. Revell “Trax” Marshall is absolutely awesome I LOVED him. He fell in love with Scarlett when she was fourteen and still loved her six years later. He proved and showed his love on basically every page of the book and it was amazing to see what he would do for her. This book had a powerful message and hit cords with me all along the way. I can’t wait for others to read it so I have people to talk to about it. I highly recommend this book to any and every one. There might be some aspects that are disturbing but it totally plays into the story and makes sense. It wasn’t just thrown in there for shock factor it was amazing! Thank you Elizabeth for another amazing read!
