Only After is book 2 of the Saviors Duet
As with book one please check the triggers before continuing as scenes/topics are not for everyone.
I must say I loved Amara and Zander’s story but Tyrone and Eva’s story has to be my favourite.
The fact that both Tyrone and Eva have had traumatic pasts hit hard. Just both Tyrone and Eva’s past/presents was heartbreaking, then reading their struggles and coping together just really gave more love to the characters.
I loved the fact that it was also emphasised that everyone handles and copes with trauma in different ways, there’s no right or wrong way when it comes to how a persons deals, which I think is really important.
Emily took me through a spiral of emotions with this book parts had me angry, parts had a tear run down my cheek and parts had me smiling from ear to ear. It was definitely a roller coaster effect. At the end of the end of the book it had me questioning am I okay.
Yet again another fantastic read by Emily.

Tyrone will go down as one of my all time favorite characters. This book had me in a chokehold. I can't even in the most I can't even kind of ways.
I loved this duet and the message that Emily is trying to convey.

She did it again folks! Well fucking done!!!
My only complaint would be that I wanted Reggie to suffer the most out of all of them but he got off easy in my opinion. I understand why it happened, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting there to have been more to his death. Maybe that makes me fucked in the head? Oh well lol

Oh my she did it again!! The emotional rollercoaster that was this book I was on the edge of my seat for real! Please check your trigger warnings as it’s very tough to read some of it! This is the duet to until then but it follows Tyrone and Eva! Tyrone and Eva have a special bond as they share the same trauma in a way. Tyrone helps Eva get her voice back and feels like she’s in control of herself again! Zander and Amara help as well to make her realize that what has happened to her isn’t normal. The way Emily writes these characters makes you feel so deeply for them and what they have gone through! Makes you feel glad when they get revenge for the people who hurt them! I’m seriously so honored to be on her arc team to get to read her books!! I can’t wait to keep reading!

Wow……that was heavy…..this book is so amazing for so many reasons that it’s kind of hard to find the words…..if you are a survivor of evil people then you will understand this book on a level that I didn’t think could ever be put to paper… Emily Klepp you are truly an amazing author and I am so thankful to you for giving so many people a voice while reminding us that we are still strong and can be ok. I devoured this book in one day and I can’t recommend it enough!

I am not ok, really, I'm not - I'm wrecked, then happy, then sobbing, then smiling. Ever read a book that took you on such an emotional journey that you had a tissue in one hand, a BOB in the other and was laughing out loud? That is this book. Eva and Tyrone's journey is a gut wrenching roller coaster with more triggers than a wild west shootout. It is an incredibly written book about surviving real life monsters and overcoming your trauma to be your best self, in whatever way that manifests. I would give this more than 5 stars if I could, just for the ride it took me on!

This book right here is another *chef’s kiss* from Emily Klepp. If you’re not familiar with her work, you’ll need to read the TW’s on her books especially this one. It is by far my darkest read yet.
I really don’t know how to put into words what this book has done to me, made me feel or anything. Tyrone and Eva’s story really broke my heart. A story of survival, trying to find yourself after going through trauma is difficult. I couldn’t get through this book without crying for both of them, especially Eva. You will need tissues when you read this. Emily’s way of storytelling and doing it in such a raw way when it comes to dark topics is emotionally captivating. The storyline was beautiful, the pace made everything really affect me deeply. I’m grateful that they found each other and could help one another heal. Will always be a fan of Emily and her books, whether they break my heart or are spicyyyy.

This book is beyond words. I do have to say major TW.
When I read thr middle of the book and what had happened I thought it was all over with, but the ending for sure made up for it. This definitely is a good spicy book to read and keep you on your toes.
I do say of you have any TW please do look at the ones that are in this book before reading. There are many, but they are all worth it if you can handle it.
This is my first book of Emily's that I have read and it won't be the last. I will be definitely recommending this to people when they ask for a good spicy book I loved it!
