Mariposa by Lexie Axelson
5.0
dark emotional tense medium-paced

I had the pleasure of being of receiving this ARC and it did not disappoint. 

Honestly, I was going to rate Mariposa four stars but like a high four stars until I felt every emotion known to humankind in three chapters. This is one of the best military romances I have ever read and captures every emotion I felt with my friends and loved ones fighting overseas. Kade and Violets story being told along side Grace and Graham had lasting emotional effects on me and frankly, I don’t know how I’ll be able to pick up another book tonight, or tomorrow. 

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️.5
Plot: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Side note: if you haven’t read The Scarred Executioners series yet, this doesn’t spoil anything but a couple of the characters get named.
