Review

Reviewing a book like this is incredibly hard. I feel like this is my family and I'm saying good-bye. Plus, it isn't necssarily a complete story. It's more a series of vignettes. It's 600+ pages of Calloway port-not that way Lily;) There is some of that, too.

I've spent so much time with these characters. I feel like they are my friends. They've been there during some hard times. And have taught me so much about my life and myself-sometimes not good things. So how do you rate something that feels like it's become a part of your DNA?

I will say that it was great to see the gang growing up and having children. Life isn't all gumdrops and rainbows and they face those struggles head on. So many kids were introduced and are all their own characters. I'm constantly amazed by the talent of Krista and Becca Ritchie. I already care so much about these children that I can't wait for Damaged Like Us. Moffy is my favorite so far.

If you loved the Addicted and Calloway Sisters books like me you will probably love this. It is a massive epilogue. It is the kind of book I wish more authors would write.

Thanks for reading!

Synopsis courtesy of Goodreads

With a seven-year age difference, Ryke & Daisy have faced an uphill battle in the eyes of the world and their families. Known as the most adventurous, fast-paced couple — their next step has always been elusive to the rabid media.

Behind the scenes, heartbreaking troubles continue to test Ryke & Daisy’s resilience and shape their future together.

They promise:

To never slow down.
To never compromise who they are.
To never abandon their love for each other.

But preserving their happiness also means adding more risks. Ones that Connor Cobalt wouldn’t even take. As a professional free-solo climber, Ryke is no stranger to risk, but his next step with Daisy wagers more than just his health.

With their lives on the line, Ryke & Daisy head towards the vast, wild unknown in this epic final conclusion to the Addicted series. 

 
Review

No...it's over...sort of. There's going to be an epilogue book thankfully. I definitely support the Raisy ship, but they aren't my favorite, so I wasn't as emotionally invested as I could've been. But it's still a great book and conclusion to the series.

I liked where Daisy and Ryke went as individuals and as a couple. Especially Ryke. I was devastated by some things that happened to him, but they needed to happen. Ryke has been one of those mentally strong characters throughout the series so it was nice to see some weakness.

My main complaint was that it felt jumpy sometimes. Several times there were moments that were skipped that shouldn't h ave been. It was kind of like a book that has a companion and the author doesn't want to be repetitive. But there isn't one.

I still love these characters and really recommend Krista and Becca Ritchie. Now, they just need to publish another book so I can read it.

Thanks for reading!

Review: Kiss the Sky by Krista and Becca Ritchie

I really enjoyed this story and characters, but I do like Lily and Lo more. Connor and Rose were interesting before, but getting in their heads was very eye-opening.

Rose is kind of hard characters to like, but you just need to get under her hard shell. She’s very passionate and cares a lot about her family. And Connor is arrogant, but deeper than I ever thought. He also really cares about the people in his life.

And I really liked them as a couple. They aren’t traditional but they work. And I was kind of surprised by where their relationship went, but that’s good because people aren’t always what they seem to be. And I melt a little bit every time Rose calls him Richard.

I do wish there was some more Connor back story. I don’t completely understand how he ended up where he is. But there’s another whole book so hopefully this will be addressed there.

Thanks for reading!
