Raze by Roan ParrishMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Roan Parrish has this incredible knack for just obliterating my heart and then putting it back together again in the form of an Epilogue. This book was no different.
Both Dane and Felix were complicated characters with emotional trials to overcome. Dane was so afraid to let go of his routine, to let go of his stress, his words even, for fear of slipping back into his addiction. But it took Felix to get him to realize that the way he was living was just as much of an addiction. And Felix, who put everyone first his entire life, to the point where he had no direction. He had no idea what he wanted to do. But Dane was there.
There were so many lines that were quotable from this story. So much of Roan Parrish's words are strung together in inspirational sentences that just scream depth and love. Her writing makes you feel like you've been transported to another world where the story is taking place all around you. It's a tangible thing and it's unbelievably well done.
I can't say enough about the characters in this series. The way they overcome obstacles and support each other is compelling. Read the series. You'll be glad you did.
