So let me say that I ADORE Aleatha Romig. Every single book in the Consequences series has sent me on an emotional roller coaster. This week, the second reading companion the the Consequences series, Behind His Eyes: Truth, was released. In these reading companions we are getting to see Tony's side of certain parts of the books, as well as some extras. All from the point of view of Mr. Anthony Rawlings. I know EXCITING right! These accounts are not just an alternate POV for the entire book. They are the inner thoughts of the frustrating Anthony Rawlings, and they add to the entire story. To me, every time I've read one of the books in the Consequences series, I've felt like I was a fly on the wall. It has felt like I am actually in the story. That says how amazing Aleatha Romig is as a writer. Seriously, she's amazing, and so is this story. The entire thing, not just Behind His Eyes: Truth. Now on to my review of her latest reading companion......Before I begin, let me say if you haven’t read the ENTIRE Consequences series, as well as Behind His Eyes: Consequences, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK! It’s a reading companion to the series, and needs to be treated as so.
Ok, now that I’ve got the disclaimer out of the way….Behind His Eyes: Truth was so much
MORE than just a reading companion. It was a life altering experience. It was
an emotional roller coaster, and of course I loved EVERY SECOND OF IT! How
could I not? I’m someone who has been Team Tony from the very beginning. Even
when I wanted to punch him in the throat, and he drove me absolutely insane, I
still was one of the crazy people who LOVED Anthony Rawlings! Being inside his
head during so many pivotal parts of Truth gave me an insight into what the
dark and mysterious man was truly thinking. One thing that was always obvious
to me, and I loved it, was even though his actions weren’t always the best, his
love for Claire was always there. Never once did his love waiver and she truly
makes him a better person. I love their love, as well as all of the suspense
and drama. Aleatha Romig still holds the crown for being the TRUE Queen of
Screwing with my mind! I smiled like lunatic, cried a few tears, and informed
several people that Anthony Rawlings was a frustrating man who was driving me
absolutely insane, and that was just while reading Behind His Eyes: Truth. It
was perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better book. This is definitely a 5 star read, actually the whole series is 5 star! Now I’m dying to read
Behind His Eyes: Convicted. Anything to give me the lost years.
