His head tells him Abby had to get out of Colorado to heal from the nightmare that nearly took her from him. To mend her wounded body, piece her broken spirit back together, and find out who she is behind the mask she felt forced to wear. His first instinct was always to protect her. Still is. But as he faces his own pain, an agonizing realization dawns: that while he needs her more than his next breath, the best place for her may not be with him. Because while he always had her back, the secrets they kept—even from each other—have the power to destroy them. When their paths cross again, will their souls still recognize each other? Note: Back to You is the conclusion of the Chaotic Love Duet. Often dark and sometimes jarring, this book also contains references to childhood trauma, rape, kidnapping, and PTSD.

Back to You by Claudia Y. Burgoa

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

I thought that the first book broke me, it was nothing compared to Back To You. It was worst. It was torture and being brought back from the brink on so many occasions that i wasn't even sure on how these characters survived their ordeal. How they managed to find that silver lining that would make them fight harder to be whole once more.

This book won't be for everyone. The subjects are heavy and can be disturbing, but i assure you that when you do sit down to read this book, you'll be grateful that you did. Claudia Burgoa makes no apologies for how she writes, what she writes and how it makes you feel (i've seen that very rarely in few authors and love that they do this), and it's some of the main reasons on why you should read this book anyways.

Back To You is the conclusion to this duet, and it's incredibly well done. So much so that you have chills running up and down your back and wonder if you'll be able to survive the storyline. It's one of those stories that goes beyond physical pain and shows you the mental struggle that you go through, the work, the pain, the uncertainties on whether or not you can survive. But survive you do because in the end, you don't want those that wanted to break you to win. And that is a lesson that everyone needs to learn - that the haters can't and shouldn't win.

I can't wait to see what else Claudia Burgoa has to offer her readers because since that very first book i read from her, she's one of those authors that you can't forget.
