I've always found something to complain about. I rated both Made To Be Broken and Change of Heart 4 stars when they deserved 5 stars, and rated 3 stars both Lost in Love and Micah's Miracle. The second reason I give it the 5 stars rating is because I read this author for several years now and she did never disappoint me, I know that the sequel will be as good as this prequel, if not better. I have only once rated a book that wasn't a standalone more than 3 stars (rated it 4 stars) because I consider that only a standalone can pretend to the perfect mark, but A Thin Line Between Love & Hate is truly worth it. I rate this book 5 stars for two or three reasons. The girls of the group? Clinical cases, all of them! I can't wait to discover Jordan in the sequel, I have a good idea about his story and I can't help but rub my hands together in anticipation. And like everyone, I want to read more, much more, about Uriah. Brandon and Josh are for sure adorable, but, somehow, I liked Cooper more. I wanted to kick Peter's butt some times as well, but he's another kind of case. One can't be infuriated by imaginary characters to the point of wanting to strangle them, yet this is exactly what I felt as soon as Abraham, George and Harlan were introduced.
The emotional side was so realistically developed that it got me worked up in the most ridiculous of ways. As I said it in the headline, rage has never felt sweeter than with this book. When you aren't drawn to them emotionally with both compassion and understanding, you will probably be disgusted by a few of them psychologically and wish to throttle them for real. I won't say anything about the story (I don't like summaries anyway) but expect this book to haunt you for days and the characters to charm you and touch you in so many ways. I read this book in two days (more or less) despite my tight schedule, even taken in with me to work, because I just couldn't wait to get home to know what happens next. Once you start it, you won't be able to put it down until the very end, and even by then, you will just feel the way I feel now, upset that the sequel isn't out yet. I won't try to sell you this book because no words could express all the feelings this story instilled deep in my heart. Right now, I just have one thing to say: WHEN WILL THE SEQUEL COME OUT? I CAN'T WAIT! Seriously, I regret bitterly having read this book now, I am not the patient kind. If I had my ideas ordered and sorted out when I was deeply immersed in the story, they flew out of the window with the ending. Why can't I write a proper review when a book impresses me? It's when I have the most to say that I find myself stumbling behind my words. WOW! Just, WOW! This story rendered me speechless. My hat must be trailing on the ground by now, after all those times I took it off for this author.
WARNING: Book contains strong language and M/M sexual scenes. TRIGGER WARNING: Book contains depictions of abuse that may be triggers for some readers. Brandon believes his calling is to help bridge the gap between the gays and Christians in his school, but he has his work cut out for him with Josh Waylon and the extremist group that has him locked down-emotionally, spiritually.and sexually. Josh feels no security with his two older brothers, who expect him to suck it up and accept the persecution as a servant of God.īrandon Nichols immediately detects the difference between Josh and his brothers, seeing deeper within the young man and the truth he is hiding, desperate not to be found out. When the group moves to a new town-a predominately gay community-and Josh attends his new school, he feels like a sheep amidst wolves as the many gay kids within the school know exactly who he is and what his family does. But Josh has a secret of his own, one which would bring him extreme pain and punishment within the group and alienate him from everyone he knows. As a member of an extreme religious group who has targeted homosexuals, Josh is forced to live the hate that the leader-his father-has poisoned them with.
Josh Waylon is a prisoner in his own home, his own mind. **The extremist group in this story is loosely based on the Westboro Baptist Church located in Topeka, Kansas.
