Stand by A.L. Jackson
4.0
Oh my, oh my, oh my!
Somehow I never got the significance of Bleeding Stars, maybe I missed the wrong books (I need to catch up), maybe it wasn't expressed before...but WOW!
As usual AL Jackson made sure that there is no possible way you can make it through this book without tears. No way you won't die a little bit on the inside. She made sure that you ached with loss, fear, and heartache. I may have suggested she was being mean, but really it's a gift.
My favorite stories are the ones you connect with, feel, and hurt with. When characters consume your thoughts long after their story is done, that is magic. The Bleeding Stars series is nothing but magic. Sunder feels like my home away from home...if I knew a bunch of ridiculously hot rock stars and hung out with them.
Stand is Zee's story. It's a convoluted mess of secrets, shame, and longing. I guess we should have expected nothing less from the straight and narrow addition. I was surprised. Zee was like my little brother and to see his flaws, faults, and shame. I just want to snuggle him more. I know you will too.
Before I go and mourn another ending and start up a petition for another Bleeding Stars book, I want to share a quote that made me want to hug my own insides. The whole scene would be spectacular to share but this line alone rocked me to my core...
"Maybe you've just forgotten how to wish."
It's a simple truth and a poignant one.
AL Jackson never forget how to wish...
