Blog Tour: Review & GIVEAWAY - HIS WOUNDED LIGHT by Christine Brae

MICHELLE’S REVIEW

***Read my review of THE LIGHT IN THE WOUND- book 1 in the series HERE. You must read book 1 first***

Son. of. a. bitch.

Ok- I don’t even know what I am feeling right now. I couldn’t put this book down. But there were so many times where I was like:

So when we left Alex and Isa they were so happy. Everything was perfect. There were literally time during His Wounded Light where I was upset this story was even happening because it tore me apart. Like why CBrae- why would you rock their perfect little world like this?

So the first half of the book was in Alex’s POV and I loved being there. Normally Alex would be what I like to refer to as a mangina. He is totally whipped. But I don’t care. I love him. Team Alex all day everyday.

So we’re just going along, all happy and in love and having great sex and then CBrae decides to fuck with our entire world and some major shit happens. Like major shit. And I cannot tell you cause it will spoil things.

From the synopsis, you can guess that stupid Jesse Cain is back. BUT as much as I hated him in TLITW, I didn’t hate him as much here. He was still stupid as all fuck ( all I’m gonna say is Rose) but I liked him a lot more and he had clearly grown up so he sort of redeems himself. The 2nd part of the book is told him his POV and it’s probably helpful to be in his head. We also saw some of what he went through in book 1 and while it didn’t change my opinion of him then, it did show how deep his love for Isa was.

I was all prepared to hate Isa thinking she was going to fuck everything up and run to Jesse for some stupid reason. But she totes didn’t and for that I was grateful.

The last part of the book was in her POV view and that was a great way to wrap up the story. We needed to be in her head. We needed to see her downward spiral and her desire to pick her self back up. She was stronger in this book, even when she was weak. And she understood the difference between her love for Jesse, love for Alex and love in general. I really ended up liking her a lot and sympathizing with her on a lot of things. She deserved better than she was getting and even better than she thought she deserved at times.

Maybe the reason this book made me so mad was because for the first time ever, I was so damn mad at Alex. Like I even hated him a little. And I HATED feeling that way about my lover. I was just like:

Again, CBrae has taken a story that by all accounts, I shouldn’t like and made it so damn interesting that I can’t help but read it.

The end of this book was again, perfection. The epilogue gave us all the HEAs we could ever want and they were in 3 POVs- Isa, Jesse and Alex which was nice.

So in conclusion, this book is great. It really is. But it will make you want to throw stuff. A lot. Like you will be so damn angry. In the end it was a great read but even now, I am sitting here wishing the pain they felt never had to happen. I know they are characters in a book but the pain was so real and I didn’t want them to have to feel it. But hey- I guess that is what makes it a great book.
