Review
K. Pinson throws you into
the story head first right away. You find out the horrors of Ava’s childhood in
the prologue. The remainder of the book is just as fast paced but at the same
time it is not rushed and it doesn’t leave you behind. I swooned over Dax throughout the whole book,
he’s the whole package. He’s the gorgeous lead singer of the bar band In Spades
with a model’s body, arms covered in tattoos and a voice that makes the ladies
wet. Add to that his sweet and loving persona, music therapist day time gig who
is also a wonderful cook and still visits his Gram every Sunday for dinner, who
wouldn’t want in on that? Daxton slowly and successfully breaks down the walls
Ava has built over the years during her focus to be everything Abby needs. Ava eventually
realizes that Dax completes their package and lets him settle into their lives,
a place Dax feels very comfortable in. This book is not without its ups and downs.
Dax has a strained relationship with his brother that Ava tries to figure out
without prying into his past and Ava has a lifetime of verbal and physical
abuse that continues to haunt her everyday life. When a couple unexpected visitors show up it
throws Dax and Ava’s worlds upside down. This book was well written and got me
hooked in right away. It was one I was not able to put down. I can’t wait for
House of Cards and Queen of Hearts as well as anything else she releases.
Warning- This book ends in
a cliffhanger. But fear not book 2 in the Mirrored series House of Cards will
be out next month.
