Recommendation
You know how when you’re in the midst of someone—a book, a movie, a real-life event—and you hate how things are making you feel? That’s how Light in the Shadows affected me throughout most of the book. But not in a bad way. Quite the opposite, in fact. By the time I finished reading the book, I realized that everything that happened in both this and its predecessor, Find You in the Dark, everything that happened…happened for a reason, just as it should have. That doesn’t make up for the fact that I cried my damn eyeballs out for the duration of both books. Light in the Shadows is lovely, heart-warming, memory-enducing, nethers-warming, and just about perfect. [April 2013]
Publisher synopsis
How do you keep going when you feel like your life is over?
Maggie never thought she’d see Clay again. So, she attempts to put her life back together after her heart has been shattered to pieces. Moving on and moving forward, just as Clay wanted her to.
Clay never stopped thinking of Maggie. Even after ripping their lives apart and leaving her behind to get the help he so desperately needed. He is healing…slowly. But his heart still belongs to the girl who tried to save him.
When a sudden tragedy brings Maggie and Clay face to face again, nothing is the same. Yet some things never change. Can the darkness that threatened to consume them be transformed into something else and finally give them what they always wanted? And can two people who fought so hard to be together, finally find their happiness? Or will their demons and fear drive them apart for good?
The thing about love, is even when it destroys you, it has a way of mending what is broken. And in the shadows, you can still see the light.
