See Goodbyes are always sad.  Goodbyes are usually hard.  Completing this series is no exception.

I put off starting it as long as I could, but I needed to fall in love with Mack & Davey and let Art go at least for a little while.  I will always revisit Killborough throughout my many re-reads so this is truly only a see you later.

Mack & Davey’s story begins when Mack puts an end to their marriage accidentally.  If you’ve been reading the DMC for long enough you shouldn’t be surprised by this.  Mack does a lot of things without truly thinking through what will actually happen and this is no exception.

Davey is miserable at home because it is no longer a refuge, and he finds himself hiding away more & more which only adds to their problems.  When Mack shocks him with the divorce Davey agrees.

This is the story of how they learn who they truly are, what truly matters, and what they are willing to give up in order to be together.  Is their relationship worth delving deep into what truly broke it?  

Watching Mack & Davey learn to love the new versions of themselves and each other was the perfect way to close out the story of a group of men who were lost.  They were brought together by the least likely person, and he is truly and will forever be the heart of this series.  Art de Almeida is everything, you never know what is going to come out of his mouth, but it is usually about Joey.
