Never Let You Go

Never Let You Go is an exquisitely magnificent and brilliantly unique love story that will quietly reshape and gently mend even the coldest of hearts. This is unlike any love story that you will ever read. It will crawl into your heart and send shockwaves throughout your soul. It’s unconventional in its madness, and beyond breathtaking in its passion. You will never be able to stop the reach or the impact that this book will forever have on your life. Katie has been trying to crawl out of her never-ending nightmare, and just when she thought she was catching glimpses of the light, she slips back into the ever welcoming blackness. She was beyond thrilled to think that she could be a girl falling for a normal guy who seemed to like her no matter her quirks and secrets. Just as she was grasping at a hope she thought she would never see in her life again, it was ruthlessly taken from her. Her heart was shattered and her life was plunged into a painful, hopeless jumble. What she didn’t expect was that the one person she trusted more than anyone would lie to her and tear her heart from her chest. What was all of her effort worth if this is the reward that she is given? Can Katie find the resolve to continue fighting for her life, or will she allow those around her to dictate and push her into a darker night then she thinks she can ever return from? Will and Katie undeniably blew my mind and captivated my very soul. There was no doubt the feelings that they shared for the other were real and true, but their struggle was in how to deal with and finally overcome their shared past going forward. It haunted and tainted the good and wonderful things they dared to hope for. My heart was shredded at seeing how hard they had to fight to just to hold onto each other and the promise of a future that always seemed so elusive and just out of their grasp. Their determination and the heart’s refusal to let go are the only things that held them together individually and as a couple. They are truly inspiring and incredibly beautiful! Monica Murphy has reclaimed my heart with this stunning sequel to Never Tear Us Apart. Her masterful storytelling decimated my heart with a blunt instrument called hope and then tenderly healed it with a ravishing gift called love. She makes no excuses for her the power of her words and the force they will tear through your very being. You will feel every single emotion, hear every desperate cry, and relish every single drop of light that will cascade through the pages of this spectacular book. This is one story that will live within you until the end of time.

The unbelievably emotional conclusion to Katie and Will's story that was started in Never Tear Us Apart. This is part II and you really need to read both books in order for the whole story to make sense. After discovering Ethan's true identity, Katie turns back to the comfort and stability of her mother and sister. It's not long though before she can no longer deny the facts. She needs Ethan/Will in her life. Moving through the mire of emotions as well as dealing with the media fascination and her family's disapproval makes rebuilding their relationship difficult but they are both determined to make it work. This book is very well done and will have you reading late into the night. I highly recommend this two book series to everyone.

Indeed this story is the kind of stories that you just can't forget... at all! This second book is the conclusion of the "Never Tear Us Apart" series. And it was a brilliant conclusion, I must say. This book begins exactly were the last one ended. The discovery that Ethan is also Will, it blows Katie's brain and heart. Why the hell didn't he told her the truth since the very start? I can understand her deception and anger. It's not easy to acept that the one that you're beginning to like is the same one that you've been thinking and waiting for so long. But, on the other hand, she admits that she can't be so hard on him (thank God). They had the same twisted past, caused by the same twisted person: his father. So, they should be with each other. Right? No one better than them could know what it's like to have a traumatic past, and I guess that for the two of them it was really more easier to endure as a couple, although most pf people would think that it was a twisted relationship. But who cares about what other people say or think? It was on the first book that I became a big fan of this couple, but it was in this second book that we really enter their hearts and thoughts. Most of all this is a story that teaches us that love can cure everything, if it is strong enough. And their love really is strong. It remained for the last eight years, even tough they were not together. Ethan/Will is a character full of love to give, but also full of traumas, sadness and hurt. He just can't be anyone else but the one who has such an unwavering for Katie, since the first moment he layed his eyes on her. Sometimes, this unwavering love can break our hearts, because he is so pure in giving and showing his love to her, that we start to think that he's going to get really hurt if she can't give so much love to him. It's really hard to see them both apart and I'm guessing that Molly, the beautifull dog that they pick up at the kenel, is going to be a great bond between them. She's like a neutral subject, a neutral item, that's not related to their past at all and it helps them to ease the hard and stressed moments between them. Hated Aaron (Will's father) and that mean Lisa (the journalist that fucked up every step of the way). A man full of evil and madness, a man who is incapable of love no matter who. A man that lost his son, the one who he should protect the most, his decency, his life, over his obsession about litlle girls and nowadays, the revenge towards Katie. Lisa, by her side, isn't much better. She manipulates people, emotions and facts on behalf of fame and TV ratings. A selfish woman who has no right to destroy others lifes and relations. Two hatefull characters, but without them the story would not have been the same :) The more I read from Monica Murphy, the more I want to read more and more of her books, because she really has a great gift of making us enter on the stories she creates. Thank you for that, Monica. This is a book full of intense sentences from Ethan/Will, from Katie that I could just not refere them here: "Ethan. Will. The boy of my past. The man of my future. The one I can never, ever let go." "He gave me light when all I'd ever felt was darkness" "I cry for what I’ve lost. I cry for what I’ve found." “I know we can’t be together. It will never work out for us, Katie. I realize that. But for that tiny amount of time that we were together and happy, it was the best time of my life” “I’ll take whatever scrapes you want to give me, though deep down, it’ll never be enough” “Never will ruin us. I will never let you go, Katie. Ever. It’s like you’re embedded in my very soul”
