There is so much to say about this book and I'm not sure if I know how to say it. The author completely threw me off with Edwards declaration at the end of book one. I was sure it was just a bluff. Something to say to throw Celia off at the time. Then we get some of Edwards POV in this book and I'm completely shocked at what was revealed.
I really struggled with Edwards revelation. I think I had in my head a different scenario and I was suddenly afraid for what I was about to read. It was threatening my fairytale I had imaged in this couple. I get that it's funny to say that considering Celia is the heroine.
We finally got an answer to explain why Edward was so passionate about his pursuit of Celia. And his sister's anger. I really didn't understand that. I had so many scenarios running in my head. After hearing their story...I got it.
We also got to see why Celia became a person that not even she liked. I liked learning that. She was such a hated character in The Fixed series that I can say that I understand her now. Edward mentions that Celia is like an onion with so many layers to peel back and he was right. It can also be used for Edward as well. There are so many layers to him as well. This couple is very complex.
While I wanted to jump to the happily every after of this couple, there is so many layers between this couple that have to be peeled back first. It's quite honestly fascinating. I may not like some of it and even hate some of the actions, but I've learned that makes me fall so much harder for a story and enjoy the sweet ending I know will eventually come. I do feel like I can breathe easy now. I guess we'll find out how true that is in the next installment.
