Oh my Haidyn. My sweet baby Haidyn. I knew going into this I was gonna fall for this man and boy did I. Him and Ryat will forever be my number 1. We see a glimpse of him in Carnage and that is when he really took my heart. This book. This book was EVERYTHING. I cried, I laughed, my jaw dropped. I’m still just in a state of not knowing what to do with my life since I finished it… or did it finish me? This book has become my Roman Empire. It’s just had everything and I will always think about this man and little bag, we love to see it 💀. Then we have the story. Miss Shantel. Ma’am. Your mind blows me away. I did not know where any of this was going. Then the dots. My god, everything just came together and also left so many more questions. The amount of time “oh shit” came out of my mouth… I lost count. Then we have my sweet unhinged golden retriever Haidyn. My god, I knew he went through some shit but this man really went through it all. He literally took it… for everyone and my heart hurts. I cried. So much. Then you have C and when it tells you who she is… the scream I scrum. Then you are hit again with who she is and I was blown away. She was such a bad ass and watching her start to have feelings then realize it and realize how screwed she was just made me giggle so hard. Then she starts to grow and realize who she is and doesn’t push her down anymore and just becomes this wonderful thing of herself. She literally stole my heart. The way she and Haidyn were together. The fact that he felt safe and she also found someone who she could be herself with hit so close to home. I quite love these two together. The ‘Dance with me Mrs. Reeves’ will forever be my favorite scene in this whole book. However, I will ever be able to listen to ‘Broken’ by Seether and ‘You Are the Reason’ by Calum Scott the same ever again. I will never not come back to this man and them when I hear it. Now I sit and wait for the Audiobook so I can go back to this little world and Spade Brother who I love so dearly.
