I enjoyed this book as much as I did the first (Binding 13). Shannon and Johnny continue to come together and bring something to the relationship that makes the other one better and stronger.  Be ready to have all the feelings while reading this book, just as you did with the first. It is painful, angsty, hopeful, and with moments of hilarity.  Binding 13 book 1.

God, i have never cried that bad because of a book before. I had to stop and compose myself several times. Johnny Kavanagh and Shannon Lynch have my entire heart, and the friendships in this book are unbeatable. You will scream, cry, laugh and smile till your cheeks hurt 💕

Moderate: Sexual content

Description (in brief) : Situations continue after THAT cliffhanger in the first book. Shannon's relationship with Johnny grows after recent developments, and everything seems to be on the mend. However, at home, it's a different story. Arguments ensue, and it's looking like things will never get better. There's only so much time before things bend and break, and after a truly terrifying situation which puts lives at risk, Shannon's world is ripped apart.

Oh my god SHANNON!!! The growth this girl has had brought me to tears it was so great to read. She deserves the world and Johnny is willing to give it to her! He works so hard for himself and those he loves it’s so genuine. 

I really enjoyed this book a lot and all of the characters have a piece of my heart! Gibsie & Claire, Mammy K, the younger brothers, AOIFE!!! I enjoyed seeing more from the side characters and the set up for Joey’s books. 

I think the second half of this book was better than the first half, and I think this one could’ve been a tiny bit shorter but I loved everything about Shannon & Johnny and this universe!!!
