Blog Tour: Review + #Giveaway: Heartlines by S.G. Holster




front only



Heartlines is not a standalone book. It is only meant to be read after first reading Thirty Seconds To Die and Terrible Lies.

Sometimes in battle surrender is the strongest move of all. Brett Owen, the son of a Sentori leader, promised himself he’d never do the work of his brotherhood - killing reborn souls. He’d been naïve to make such a vow. He’d been naïve about a lot of things – such as the bond of family and love. Taunted by a Sentori hunter, Brett does whatever he can to survive, even if it means embracing his dark Sentori side and earning the unwanted attention of the Sentori leaders. His life had never looked so frantic. And all the while, his true family is infecting his heart and mind. When his heart is tied to an unexpected soul, he finds himself fighting for a future he desperately wants to live to see. It becomes clear that whatever freedoms Brett is hoping to win will not be gained without a fight. Fragile lives that had been carefully woven together will be ripped apart swiftly and easily. Faith is betrayed. Remorse and innocence intertwine. Fate and chance collide to mend the tattered strands of Brett’s heart in the shocking conclusion to the Thirty Seconds To Die series.
 



REVIEW

I have really enjoyed this series, but I will admit that this was my favorite book from them all. After the revelations that devastated many of the characters in the second book, I was eager to really get to know Brett. He'd been one of those characters you love but hate at the same time, so it was interesting to see things from his POV.

My heart broke over and over for this poor guy who had been cheated out of so many things, and had been turned into something that made him the enemy to everyone who really meant something to him. Throughout this series Brett had swayed back and forth between right and wrong, but in this book he proved that he had a heart of gold, and given the chance he was nothing like his brotherhood.

I was intrigued to see how things would change between him and Ren, and if Brett would ever get over his love for Lexi. Every moment spent with Brett was one of anguish and pain. He was such a complex, broken character, and I prayed for him each step of the way.

This book was fast paced and exciting, with a plethora of emotions filling each page. There were a few surprising twists in the plot that left me breathless, and the ending, the moment Lilly got so excited about her papa, just tore into my soul and left in tears.
