My Maddie is a beautiful addition to the Hangmen series. Consider it a bridging story between what has been with the cult, and the next chapter of evil. Because oh, boy! Does the author ever do a great job of still including the cult into the stories.

My Maddie is the adorable tale of Flame and Maddie’s romance, while also bringing in more of Lil Ash, Flame’s younger brother. While in Souls Unfractured Maddie helped bring Flame out of his darkness, this was only a band aid solution. She provided him a means to manage his trauma, but not to move past it. This book touches more on his darkness after a situation throws him right into his past, deeper than before and only Maddie can bring him out of it. By the end, he has strategies to let go and move on from his trauma. It will always be there, and there are still hints of it by the end, but so much better than the beginning.

I have and always will love Flame. With his trauma, he is such a deep character. The counsellor in me just wants to help him. The reader in me falls in love with his approach toward Maddie.

The other plot point of this novel I will not say to avoid spoilers, but I did guess it would go that way for these two. I was so mad at Flame for his act of when it happened at the end, but in the very end, he came out on top and cared.

The parts of Lil Ash are showing that he’s really growing up. The story of him and Saffie is beginning to bloom more. While there was call books ago for his story, I never wanted it just yet. He wasn’t old or developed enough. I understand his story won’t be for another book or so, but I do believe anytime now is good. I also would like him to be a full member and not a prospect when he does get his book.

Tillie Cole wove another wonderful, touching, and beautiful story!

E se eu te contar que esse livro foi o número 100 de 2023...
É a mais pura verdade. E fiquei super feliz por esse número ter sido atingido com o último livro (publicado) dos Hangmen.

Esse livro é o segundo da série que foca no Flame.
O primeiro foi "Alma Sombria" e nele tivemos o foco na relação entre Flame e Maddie. Nesse segundo eu visualizei mais o foco no Flame, mais uma vez ele se perde dentro de si. Maddie precisa resgatar seu marido das profundezas da alma dele.

Maddie revela estar grávida e Flame não conseque lidar com o pensamento que suas "chamas" podem mat*r seu filho assim como ele se culpa pelo irmão que perdeu.

Com os traumas do passado devido aos abusos do pai e perda da mãe e seu irmão ele se perde.

Temos no livro um ataque de um novo inimigo, que aparenta ser uma Seita Sat*nica. Mas fica bem superficial na história. E será desenvolvido no próximo livro. Que inclusive será sobre o Viking (espero muitas risadas) e Ruth.

Juro que estou aguardando o Vike fale pro Rider o chamar de papai. Hahaha

Conseguimos ver a luta que ele tem para lidar com seus fantasmas.

Até agora não foi falado exatamente qual a condição médica que ele tem, mas conversando com algum pessoas temos a mesma suposição, que ele pode ter TEA (Transtorno de Espectro Autista).

3.75

Helt ok bok. Forholdet mellom hovedpersonene et søtt, da. Men følte det var litt for mye vold, og litt mye grusomheter bare for å ha grusomheter liksom? Følte også at denne boken var litt filler mellom de andre bøkene, selv om jeg er usikker på om forfatteren kommer til å fortsette serien nå som hun har fått kritikk. Men greit premiss her å besøke et par som har fått en bok i serien tidliger, der budskapet blir at man kan ha tilbakefall og at man ikke alltid er kurert for alltid.

perfect for flame and Maddie

Wow! What a perfect ending for flame and Maddie. Although I got much needed closure for flame and Maddie, I am left wondering about Ash. I need to know what happened with him and Saff.

This book was emotional on all kinds of levels.
I went in thinking I was prepared and just cried at several different moments.
This couple didn't have it easy to begin with and adding in Ash and what's happened in the last few books... ouch.
Another great addition to a hard to read but very worth the dark series.
