Once again, Melanie Moreland wrecks me.
As I have mentioned several times, I am a big fan of her Vested Interest series. But I have also found her shorter series and stand-alones to be equally good. The Amendment is no exception.
I loved The Contract; I found it to be realistic, emotional, and extremely well-done. I was happy to see that we get to continue Katy and Richard’s story in The Amendment.
However, believe me when I say that you will not see this one coming.
The hints are there in the teasers, the blurb gives you an idea, but nothing will prepare you for what happens. (Spoiler: Have tissues ready. And I don’t say things like that lightly).
It is challenging to write this review without giving anything away because I believe a reader needs to experience this story on their own, without any idea of what will happen. Suffice to say that what does occur is one of the most realistic and gut-wrenching incidents I have ever read.
Ms. Moreland does an excellent job of describing events in a manner that allows the reader to experience the emotions of the characters, which in turn makes everything in the book seem more real.
I may be repeating myself here, but this is what makes her books so amazing.
I’m going to talk myself in circles. You shouldn’t be reading this review; you should be reading The Amendment.
