Sanctuary Found
by Sloane Kennedy
This book definitely had its moments, but it didn’t manage to hold my interest during all of it, and I ended up a little bored on more than one occasion.
The romance between Maddox and Isaac ends up being sweet and warm, but their road to getting together wasn’t all that great to me. Something felt a little off.
What should have been a great opposites attract love story with lots of hurt/comfort, ended up feeling slightly dry. Thus, I can’t say I felt truly invested in their relationship.
The romance just wasn’t great to me even though I do like these two together. They gave each other affection, comfort and respect, but yet something was missing for me.
I also think the plot in this book could have been developed a lot better. Especially considering the beginning of this book just rehashed what we read about in book 1. That definitely bored me. Eventually we strayed from that, which was good, but I still wouldn’t say we truly got a super well thought-out plot.
Without a doubt, my favourite part about this book was Isaac’s 4-year old brother, Newt. He was so adorable and so sweet, I genuinely wish he existed in real-life, just so I could hug him forever.
His relationship with Isaac was so endearing; it made me feel so much love and respect for Isaac because he not only managed to raise his kid-brother this well within such dire circumstances, but all their interactions were simply just amazing. He truly took care of him in a very loving way.
I also loved the family bond Newt developed with all the other adults. I actually wish we could have seen Dallas and Nolan's POV whenever they played with and took care of Newt: I just know they loved him so much as well, and I wanted to see more of that!
But seriously, I love Newt so much. It reminded me of how much I love little kids in books if they are written well. They can really create such wholesome vibes in a story, and I adore it every time. Newt was honestly a little ray of sunshine in this otherwise rather bleak book.
