Bane by L.J. Shen
5.0
I don't even know where to start on reviewing this book. I just discovered LJ Shen this year and am now obsessed, but these characters......man. Jesse and Bane put me through the ringer and I came out on the other side with such a book hangover I had to dive right back in. Since Bane is not a part of the original group in these series, I thought I would just read it to get through the whole series, but I was blown away and quickly given a new favorite.
Bane is not your typical hero. Actually - he's pretty far from it. He is everything we have been taught to stay away from a first glance / thought. Throughout the book though, you find out that isn't all there is to him. You can be the guy to stay away from - and STILL be one of the best hero's / boyfriend's / men I have read about.
Jessie's story isn't anything to be taken lightly. Her story helps to show that no matter what has happened to you in the past, it IS possible to live your life. Fair warning here though - this book does contain some pretty intense triggers, so make sure you are aware of that before going in. The first chapter takes you right into it, so be prepared. If you can get through that though, you will NEVER be disappointed with this book!!
