Infinite Repeat by Paula Stokes

5.0

It's always hard to review a novella. And I think had I read this first I would not have enjoyed it so much. But I didn't, I read it after the first book in the series. And I think this was why I liked it even more. The book is from Lainey's POV. But this little star is from Micah's POV and it was so great to be in his head. He's broody and loyal and loving. He has so much to give and this just shows it. I loved seeing the events that lead up to the first book. How his relationship with Amber becomes such an important part of his relationship with Lainey.
And I absolutely adore Micha's relationship with his sister, Trinity. They compliment each other so well. You can tell that they lean on each other and it's sweet and heart warming. She kind of mother's him a bit, but in a solidly loving way. And he needs it.
It helps that Stokes has such a fabulous writing style. It flows and it's fast paced and easy to read. And while she touched on romance, it was not the center of this novella. The point of this novella was Michah figuring out what he wanted and what he needed and how he could go about getting it. There are sad parts, and sweet parts, but mostly there are parts where you see the hope in Micah, where you see him beginning to understand what he needs to feel whole. And the flashbacks to when he was younger and the events that lead him to his delinquency are really great.
As a whole, I really enjoyed this novella. I would love to see more of Micah. He is such a fantastic character and not at all what he seems on the outside. This rough and tumble boy will steal your heart!
