SEPTEMBER SERIES SPOTLIGHT: The Wishes Series - Second Hearts (Wishes #2) by G.J. Walker-Smith

Second Hearts (Wishes #2)

Synopsis

Second Hearts, book 2 of The Wishes Series.

Charli Blake's high tolerance for risk doesn't always work in her favour.

After a year of living out her dream of travelling the world, the sunny West African village of Kaimte would be her last stop.

She's bound for New York, in search of the boy she'd let go of long ago.

For Charli, nothing has changed. She's travelled thousands of miles but hasn't moved an inch. Adam Décarie still means everything to her.

But reality soon hits hard.

For Adam, everything has changed.

Memories of the best love she's ever known is all she has left, until Charli makes a shocking discovery. None of it had ever been real in the first place.

Review

Wow! This story takes you to a whole new level. I got totally hooked. I have a new found love and respect for Mitchell. And I adore Charli. Her determination and mind holds no bounds. She truly loves with all her heart.

Charli takes off to travel with Mitchell and they end up in a village in Africa. Mitchell ends up being a really great friend and travel companion. He totally surprised me because I was not expecting that. When Charli finally decides it's time to follow her heart and go to New York she was hoping for a different outcome.

I have mixed feelings about Adam in this story. There are times where I just wanted to love him and then he would say or do something that made me angry and frustrated with him. Charli puts up with a lot once she finds herself in Adam's world. And she knows that she will never belong and as times goes on she realizes that she really doesn't want to.

Adam is very selfish and doesn't realize that he is doing more harm than good until it's too late. His social circle, the purple circle as they call it, and his mother, Fiona, was truly atrocious. Charli sacrificed so much and dealt with such horrid verbal abuse all because of her love for Adam.

This story was much more emotional than the first and I was truly saddened and heartbroken for Charli. I was on an emotional rollercoaster with this one. I love that she had a friendship with Adam's brother, Ryan. They formed their own special bond and he was there for her whenever she needed. I liked him right away.

This story was emotional, heartbreaking, touching and magical all at once. This series is truly addicting. It leaves you wanting so much more and wanting to jump into the next one immediately after.

G.J. Walker-Smith does an amazing job bringing such well develop characters and a story that will consume you. An absolutely wonderful, beautiful and magical story. On to the next one....
