Review: Reforming Kent by Siobhan Davis

Reforming Kent by Siobhan Davis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author and Wildfire Marketing Solutions.  This is my honest review. 

Woah.  This book is intense.  I'm basically speechless after finishing this book.  

I have never read a book in the Kennedy Boys series, so to start off with the last book is a bit odd for me.  Granted, I didn't do my homework before signing up for this eARC, so that's on me, but I feel like if I did read the other books, I would have realized that Siobhan Davis writes about some intense, real, powerful, heartbreaking events that happen in everyday life.  Maybe then I wouldn't have been so shocked on the turn that this book went.  

Both Kent and Presley have been through a lot, so seeing them open up to each other was magnificent.  I love how much Kent had to work to get Presley to go on just one date with him.  She baffled him so much he became intrigued instantly.  

The secrets this book has, the trauma, the terror, it is real.  I don't typically read books with this subject, and if I'm prepared ahead of time, I tend to avoid these books at all costs.  I wasn't informed ahead of time and it was a bit of a shock for me.  But I'm glad I read it because seeing these character overcome the horror and the nightmare that was their life was inspiring and uplifting to see.  I hope more stories end the way that this one did, because that is the life we should inspire to have. 

I'm really glad I got a chance to read this book, even though it had a lot of tough subjects to read through.  Maybe in the future, I will read and meet the other Kennedy brothers with their own stories, but I think I will need to spread those out if they all have intense subject matters like this novel did.
