I was so excited to read A Love So Deadly! The cliffhanger in A Love So Dangerous was huge and my mind was on overdrive to figure it out and luckily the wait was not too long. It is different from any other series I have read and I love Lili Valente for it! Her writing is amazing and can’t wait to read more of her books. Now, on with the review…I try to do spoiler free reviews and it’s even harder with sequels so I will try my best.
Caitlin had the summer of her life and now has to try to move on for her family. She gets the opportunity of a lifetime to start over new from an unlikely source but this is what her family needs. She knows she will never feel how she did with Gabe in those few months that bought out the true Caitlin that was hiding. She tries her best to move forward even after going through the worst of times of her life….
Caitlin is trying so hard to just keep her family together and happy! She is such a strong and beautiful woman. Lili has given us one amazing serial series with some of my favorite characters. Excited to see what is going to happen next!

This love doesn’t burn inside me, threatening to consume me even as it builds up, making me something stronger and better than I was before. This love doesn’t reach down deep and awaken the wild side of me, the part that will fight to the death to protect the things it holds dear, that part that is both beautiful and vicious, as terrifying as it is intoxicating. This love is a spark escaping from the bonfire, and Gabe and I were the sun, burning hot enough to light the world.
Lili Valente must be related to evil incarnate. Why else would she want me balling my eyes out almost the entirety of this book?!?! She must thrive on the pain of others. Or shes just that good at destroying the fragile hearts of her readers?
I’m going with the latter. A Love So Deadly was an emotional and devastating book. My eyes and head hurt. My heart hurts. All that’s left is hope and even that’s iffy right now.
A Love So Deadly by Lili Valente is the second book in her To The Bone series. It picks up right where we left off in A Love So Dangerous.
At this point we all know Gabe has a secret and that he ended things with Caitlin to avoid dragging her down with him and his secret. But that lasts less than a day before he decides he needs to come clean because he just can’t stay away from her anymore. But when he shows up at her place he instantly feels like something is wrong…
The suspense will just about crack your teeth. From the resolution of the issues at the beginning of this book to the cliffhanger at the end of this book. You will be left sitting there, jaw gaping, thinking WTF? That can’t possible be true or right or accurate but how can this devious author possibly write these characters out of this one? Spoilers!
It is hot and steamy without being overly done. The emotions run high, the writing carries you away, and you won’t be able to get enough of Gabe and Caitlin either. Told in dual POV with a cliffhanger ending this will definitely suck you in. Note: It was formerly published as One Wild Night and This Wicked Rush by Jessie Evans.
I loved this book!! Or rather I loved Gabe so much!! What an emotional rollercoaster!! This ride took me on a dizzy spin and I freaking loved it even though there were a few very lucky or rather miraculous circumstances!
The Story:
Even though Gabe left Caitlin to make it easier for her, he can’t stay away longer than a few hours before he gets in his car and drives back to her house. He knows that he doesn’t have a lot of time left but he would much rather spend his last days, weeks or months with her than alone.
He finally tells Caitlin the truth about him and even though he is heartbroken that he’s going to leave her behind, he holds on to his decision. Is there no chance for Gabe? How will Caitlin deal with this?! Will it break her?
Thoughts:
Oh my freaking God! I need the next book right now!
This was such a rollercoaster of emotions. I couldn’t sit still or put the book down. I never saw this coming and then BAM! And then it was turning and turning and I didn’t even know what’s happening and suddenly I reached the end of the book and I don’t know what to do with all of those feelings inside of me now. I want to scream and jump around and punch something or hug someone. Ahhh!! I want more! I need more! More of all of it!
I was absolutely surprised at how much I loved this story even with the miraculous event that I couldn’t wrap my head around.
In the first book we get to know Caitlin as a selfless young girl that takes care of her family and gave up school and education for her brothers and niece. She fought hard through life with bills to pay and mouths to feed and when Gabe came along, she began to live again. This second book is about the relationship of Caitlin and Gabe and his cruel fate awaiting them. It’s about love, loss, family and friendship. Caitlin has to learn how to deal with different tough situations in her life and how she can be happy again.
