Hail Mary
by Kandi Steiner
ARC Review - Hail Mary by Kandi Steiner
Releasing February 15, 2023
Book 4 in the Red Zone Rivals series had a lot to live up to. Kandi held absolutely nothing back when she released Quarterback Sneak, and I was so curious to see what she gave us with Hail Mary. Kandi absolutely delivered with this book. The emotions that Kandi made me feel while reading this book ripped my heart out. She was able to transport me back to my fragile teenage years when all I wanted was to be accepted for who I was, but what I got was backstabbing and a whole lot of tears.
Mary’s story, from high school through the end of the book, brought me to tears multiple times. While the things that Mary experienced in high school are probably more extreme than what a lot of us did, the way it’s written brings you right back to your own high school days, feeling that gut wrenching pain of trying to find yourself while also fitting in.
Leo & Mary had me hooked from page 1, and honestly that surprised me a bit. Because honestly I was kind of off-put by Mary’s coldness to Leo in the previous book. I didn’t understand it, so it wasn’t super intriguing. But that changed real quick, because this story had me absolutely hooked. Leo and Mary had a connection they was deeper than the physical chemistry they shared, and it was so beautiful. As teenagers, they were lucky enough to find in each other a true friend, and someone they could confide their biggest dreams as well as their biggest fears. But when their paths cross again years later, you quickly see how old wounds can still be incredibly painful.
I feel like I say this about every Kandi Steiner book, but her writing absolutely blew me away. No other author is able to make me feel emotions like Kandi does. When I’m reading her books I am right there in the story, because through her words she paints the most vivid pictures of the worlds she creates.
Hail Mary releases on February 15 and is an absolute must read. This is such a beautiful ending to a beloved group of teammates at NBU. While I’m sad to see this story come to an end, I’m so excited to see what Kandi has in store for us next!
