Review

Ugh! Can someone just rip my heart out right now? My heart is in pieces. This book was so sad and heartbreaking.

Alex and Gabrielle have waited a very long time to have a baby and it should be a time of happiness, joy and celebration. However, things just don't always go as planned.

Although this was such a heartbreaking story it was still very well written. From the beginning I was an instant fan of Alex and fell hard for his character because he was just so strong, confident and an amazing father. In this story he starts to lose his way and it truly broke my heart. I wanted to reach into my kindle and just embrace him! I felt his pain and his heartache. His love for Gabrielle, if it wasn't obvious before, it certainly showed how strong it truly was in this story.

Charli makes a surprise visit to come see her brother but what she wasn't prepared to see her father fall apart. Alex has always been there for Charli and she's determined this time around to keep him from losing all hope and to find his way back to magic.

Alex struggles with the turns of events in his life at the moment and is reaching his breaking point.

What happens when you start to lose hope?

Even worse, What happens when you start to lose faith in magic?

G.J. Walker-Smith has done such an amazing job in this series. With every book she pulls you in and you become more and more consumed by these characters and their stories of struggles, insecurities, hope, magic and love.
