Wow!  This was such a beautiful story!  I absolutely loved getting to see Tyler and Delphine’s relationship develop from the beginning.  I’m usually not a fan of age gap, but this was done so well!  My heart broke reading Tyler and Delphine’s backstory, but their healing journey together?  Perfection.  It was just so beautiful.  Yes, this is a thick book, but the story spans over many years, and each piece was necessary to get the impact of the end.  I knew how it was going to end, but still was not prepared.  This book wrecked me, but it was just so good!  I also loved getting to see more ins and outs of the Ravenhood.  I’m really excited to see that story develop in the remaining books too!  You definitely need to read the original Ravenhood series and One Last Rainy Day first to understand what is going on in the story and have the biggest emotional impact!  I will be thinking about this book for a long while.
