Mississippi Smoke #1
Bane & Halo
The author promised angst and heartbreak and wow, did she deliver. I lost count of how many times I cried because it was so devastating. Talking about what happened spoils the story so let me just express my feelings during the story.
Bane starts out as a violent, aggressive man. Later I saw that he was in the grip of a huge pain, the loss of his little brother. I saw the hate he felt for Halo, blaming her for his loss. But then I saw Halo’s beautiful soul, a girl who suffered mistreatment from her family and yet, she kept being a sweet and kind person, her only weakness trying to win the love from the people who were supposed to love her.
I saw how Bane changed, saw how all the guys in the house accepted Halo as one of them. The first chapters of this book are harrowing as Halo learns all the circumstances of her new life, the truths of her old life. I cried many times, but it felt so good!
The story evolves and it all turns good and everything that is sexy and deep. I loved how Halo won everyone over because she’s just so good. And I loved how Bane found the peace that he had lost, as he cared for her.
The story felt different because it’s not all mafia business, it’s all about heartbreak and healing. There’s one gory scene but it’s all tied to the story and I can’t say it wasn’t needed because it was. All in all, a story of redemption, a love that went wrong, but another that went right. A girl who only wanted acceptance and love and finally found it, not without first suffering a heavy loss. Astounding, heartbreaking, cause of a crying fest, but it was absolutely fascinating and wonderful.
