Review: Exodus


Title: Exodus
Series: the Ravenhood duet
Author: Kate Stewart
Release Date: Now Live!


Can you live a lie?

It’s a ghost town, this place that haunts me, the one that made me.

It’s clear to me that I’ll never outgrow Triple Falls or outlive the time I spent here.

I can still feel them all, my boys of summer.

Even when I’d sensed the danger, I gave in.

I didn’t heed a single warning. I let my sickness, my love, both rule and ruin me. I played my part, eyes wide open, tempting fate until it delivered.

There was never going to be an escape.

All of us are to blame for what happened. All of us serving our own sentences. We were careless and reckless, thinking our youth made us indestructible, exempt from our sins, and it cost us all.

I’m done pretending I didn’t leave the largest part of me between these hills and valleys, between the sea of trees that hold my secrets.

It’s the reason I’m back. To make peace with my fate.

And if I can’t grieve enough to cure myself in my time here, I’ll remain sick. That will be my curse.

But it’s time to confess, to myself more so than any other, that I’d hindered my chances because of the way I was built, and because of the men who built me.

At this point, I just want to make peace with who I am, no matter what ending I get.

Because I can no longer live a lie.


Oh my goodness you guys!!!! I am still dealing from the emotional onslaught that was the Ravenhood duet!! How do I even explain to you guys what this book has done to me, for me?!
First let me say, you HAVE to read Flock before Exodus, Exodus picks up right where Flock ends. So if you haven't read Flock yet, quit reading my review RIGHT NOW and grab Flock ( blurb & links posted below πŸ‘‡) and then thank me later πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. 
Exodus picks up where Flock left off. And what a whirlwind it was. Cecelia is back, and looking for answers. And she encounters the Frenchman.  He is untrusting, and unforgiving. And now Cecelia is faced with impossible decisions, and the consequences of those choices, and forced to live a lie. Everyone is to blame for what happened. And everyone must live out their sentences. But what happens when Cecelia  cannot live a lie anymore?
Seriously you guys! I don't even know what to say that won't give anything away! But these books were amazing. They were soooo much more than what I expected. They made me feel. A sobbing mess at 2 in the morning. They drew out soooo many emotions. And the angst and drama and everything. It keeps you hooked from the start, and leaves you reeling. I am still at a loss for how to explain this book without giving anything away. But it was amazing. Everything I have come to love from a Kate Stewart novel. The drama, the angst, the emotion, the music, the memories. This duet was beautifully and tragically written. It made me smile, swoon, cry, and gutted me. And I am sad that it is over, but this is a duet that will stay with you long after you turn that final page. 4.5 "crying for the moon" ⭐ out of 5 ⭐.

Can you keep a secret?

I grew up sick.⁣

Let me clarify.⁣

I grew up believing that real love stories include a martyr or demand great sacrifice to be worthy.⁣

Because of that, I believed it, because I made myself believe it, and I bred the most masochistic of romantic hearts, which resulted in my illness.⁣

When I lived this story, my own twisted fairy tale, it was unbeknownst to me at the time because I was young and naΓ―ve. I gave into temptation and fed the beating beast, which grew thirstier with every slash, every strike, every blow.⁣

Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets.⁣

Secrets that cost us everything to keep.⁣

That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to.⁣

Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence due to my illness.⁣

And all were punished.
