Baggage in the middle
Chemistry trumps baggage
Giggling one minute, tearing up the next
Things We Hide From The Light was one of those rare reads that had me in love by a few chapters. I had a sense I was going to love the book front to back; and I did. Knockemout only gets better in my opinion, with Nash and Lina taking the spotlight and owning it.
If you were interested in Nash in book one (how could you not be), you'll be surprised to find him somewhat changed in this book. I didn't spend that much time thinking about Lina in the first installment but she owned the pages of this one. Lina was strong, determined and thrived on independence to a fault. The walls these two had to climb were pretty huge and the pages just melted away through their story.
There was a mystery and high stakes going on in the background; it had me worrying throughout for these characters and it got pretty tense towards the end. The culmination had me a mushy, leaky-faced mess but it was so worth the emotional ride.
There was plenty of the other beloved Knockemout characters in book two, so if you're needing more Knox and Naomi or want to be invested ready for book three, Lucian and Sloane have you covered. This series truly makes found family the heart of everything, connecting the dots with the blood ties too.
"You take away the dark, the cold. And you remind me what it's like to want to be here."
Thank you Hodder Books for the review copy.
