Preppy: The Life & Death of Samuel Clearwater, Part Two by T.M. Frazier
5.0
***AVAILABLE NOW - FULL REVIEW***
5 YOU FOUND ME CROWNS
T.M. Frazier has once again created a story that has absolutely ripped me to shreds. My heart ached and my soul was wounded as I saw one of my favorite characters EVER struggle with the atrocities committed against him. In true Preppy fashion though, he handles it in his own crazy and outlandish way, and I love every single minute of his road to recovery.
The Preppy readers have come to love throughout his series is lost. Lost in the pain, lost in the memories, and lost in this life that has moved on without him. The anguish that pierces through him is felt in every word T.M Frazier writes. Readers get to see these glimpses of the Preppy they have loved, but he is weighed down, suffocating under a black cloud he can’t seem to escape. Watching the other characters struggle to help him does nothing to heal the heart, except the amount of love among this group of misfits and criminals is immense, and their dedication to helping Preppy heal is astounding. The one person who is able to help him, pull him from the darkness is Dre. Andrea has returned as a better version of herself, more put together and accepting responsibility for her past misdeeds. She is, however, still the girl that isn’t afraid to stand up to Preppy, to challenge him, and to push his boundaries. When she breaks and unleashes everything on him, it is one of my favorite moments of the book. I literally cheered for her tenacity, and for his reaction to it! Not everything is as clear cut, though, as Dre ends up revealing some secrets that not only rocks Preppy’s world but her world as well. This revelation begins Preppy’s return, and, oh, what a return it is! By the end of this story, the Preppy readers have loved makes his return. The cockiness, the absurd humor, and the bowtie all come back and are sported by our beloved anti-hero with gusto.
As warned by the author, this book is about so much more than the romance between Dre and Preppy, and while there are certainly the steamy scenes readers love from Ms. Frazier, there is a good portion of the book where they aren’t together and interacting, but this needed to be done. After the trauma that Preppy endured, he needs to heal, to find a new place in this new world, and he needs to come to terms, in his own way. Readers know this man never does what is expected or the norm, and T.M. Frazier honors that journey while giving the readers the romance they want from Dre and Preppy, as well as setting up the storyline for the next book.
The plot of this story will suck readers in from the opening pages. The emotional turmoil felt not only by Preppy, but also King, Ray, Ti, Bear, Dre, and even Rage and Nolan captures the reader. Seeing this family struggle to get better, to heal, to find a new path is heartbreaking, yet oddly hopeful. This group’s desire to be there for each other, to band together, and to rally around the man who for so long held them together warms the heart. In addition to the familial element, T.M. Frazier expertly sets up the next book. She layered this secondary plot details into the story, foreshadowing the events of book three, which only piques readers interest, as Preppy’s reaction based on the final act of the book is guaranteed to be EPIC, unlike anything readers have seen from T.M. Frazier before. Trust that Ms. Frazier has enough bombs placed in this story to keep readers entertained until the very end.
With Preppy, T.M. Frazier showcases why she is one of my favorite dark romance writers. The suspense, the violence, and the love, even from these violent criminals, is captivating. I love this dark and dirty world she has created, and the dubious and charismatic characters she has placed in it. I hope she never stops writing about them, because I never want to leave this world. I can at least find comfort in knowing I get to return for one more round, but one particular bomb she detonated leaves me some hope for more! Until then, I will sit and not so patiently wait for the conclusion of Preppy, the man who has stolen my heart!
