The Messes series is one you don’t want to miss. I’m typically just a romance reader, but once I got introduced to Kiersten’s books, I became addicted. I loved The Cleaner and was very excited to get an ARC for The Healer.
You can’t help but love Jesse. He has a good soul. He’s been beat down, but always takes the higher road.
Quinn-Most women have been Quinn. Every thought, every action-anyone who has been in love with their best friend will relate.
The twists and turns these two encounter are things you’ll never expect. I just knew that I was right about how the story was progressing early on. Boy was I wrong. That’s what I love about Kiersten’s writing. You think you have it all figured out and then on the next page you’re scrambling for a new conclusion. Her stories are very well built. I can’t wait to continue this series!
I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book. Thank you Kiersten. Oh my where to start. A page turner from the beginning to end. Best friends Jesse and Quinn, who have been by each others side since they were little. They are each others rocks. Jesse makes a choice in his life and it makes you wonder if his and Quinn’s friendship will change. Their is a twist in the story which left me stunned and surprised. I totally loved Jesse and Quinn’s story from the start and the ending will have you in tears. I am happy to give this book 5 stars as it kept all my emotions all over the place and I truly love a story that can bring my emotions out in many ways. Happy Reading.

With everything going on in this book, Kiersten had me guessing until the very end. From the compassion that Jesse has for everyone to the quiet understanding that Quinn offers to him, this book as it all. They never stopped looking for answers even though they found out things are never as they seem. What is important is that they expressed their true feelings to each other which gave them the strength to go on.
