How does one judge a story like this with mere words and designate stars. The grief and torment it generates is immeasurable and as one of the reader so eloquently put it- you can't just read it, you have to survive it.
This wreckage of Cecelia Horner and Tobias King!
“Because loving you made me sick as fuck and losing you twice has made me terminal.”



I'm not sure what have I left intact, cause my heart is in tatters. My emotions have been through a winger, my sentiments scattered in tphe sentimental hurricane that Kate has penned
This second book in the Ravenhood Duet following in the footsteps of book 1 Flock is Pure agony in word form. Exposed like a festering wound, raw as the salt poured over it, it hurts oh-so-bad.
I cried ALL throughout the book. My tears streamed in uncontrollable rivulets, whenever I felt dessicated and screamed No More Kate!!, I turned the page and started with fresh downpour. I legit couldn't breathe, suffocating and choking on huge lumps of emotions stuck in my throat, my heart writhing in constant, torturous onslaught of pain
"I’ll always be the girl crying for the moon.”



kate distills the pain of unrequited love and bottles it for us to devour and die. Her merciless writing took me to dark places in my soul, where the sunshine of truths hadn't shone for years. It was a very personal journey for me and I recognized the river of pain that flowed straight from Kate's heart to my own. In that way I feel a kinship to her. She speaks fluent angst and I read and weep in the same dialect.
Cecelia is an addict.
"Meggie fell for a priest. I fell for a prophet. We declared war on their calling and cause, and neither of us won."



Having sang the sweet song of love while pierced in the heart with the sharpest thorn, she's forever on the lookout for the next high, next sharp thorn, to sing her painful melody again! She is on a journey to find closure after the devastating turn of events in Flock. Stumbling around with just one shoe, half a heart without the two pieces of her missing soul, She's grown older, none the wiser but definitely educated in dejection and rejection . betrayals snipping at her heels, she goes back to ground zero - Triple Falls, looking for Closure
Tobias is a man on a mission. He wants to control and monitor the world into a better tomorrow, but in his quest to conquer the world, he loses to his own basic instinct to love.
Their coupling is detonation and explosion, anger and violence and both incur heavy battle scars
“I loved the bastard I met, the thief that stole me, and the king who claimed me, but I refuse to love the coward. I hate the coward.”
I can't go into details but suffice to say, Kate kills you at every step. Heals your wounds and then stabs with her plot twists again. When all seems to fall into a comfortable pattern, halfway through she drops the bomb of atomic proportions. After that the story is in apocalyptic somber mood.



And the end is like what happened in Hiroshima!! Boom !!!!
“We don’t get a happy ending, Cecelia. We just get an ending.”
I must be afflicted with same sickness as Cecelia because, after the severe punches to the heart, I kept going back for more.
Unparalleled writing, unbelievable story and unprecedented ugly cryfest is guaranteed in this Duet.
Read and weep, hurt and howl, devour and die...then come thank me!!
5 stars for Liars, Thieves & Killers
