Hidden Waters is the third e book within the fabulous Tattered and Torn collection by Catherine Cowles. We completely love this collection. Extremely emotional, scrumptiously passionate and suspensefully thrilling, we’ve been so excited for Addie’s story. We extremely advocate studying so as regardless of it being a collection of standalones because of a standard thread in addition to character connections. This collection must be loved in its entirety! We’ll learn something this Creator writes as we by no means fail to grow to be utterly engrossed in her tales. Certain, we’ve our favourites however each single time she releases a brand new story we’re there for it.
“Scamper, Little Mouse. Discover a nook to cover, similar to a tiny mouse would.”
Having adopted Addie within the earlier books we simply couldn’t wait to get her story. We knew it was going to be emotionally devastating and heart-breaking. She grew up in situations nobody ought to bear witness to nor be a sufferer of. Indoctrinated to fall in line, to simply accept, and to endure in silence. Shedding the one connection to unconditional love at such an early age too. No surprise she’s scared, timid, and needing to fade into the background. But Addie has an actual spine too. An incessant have to expertise a life she was by no means allowed to dwell; see, style, and scent what was forbidden. Her eyes are opening up while holding on to her pure integrity and honesty.
“Launch this ugly guilt that’s been consuming away at you. You’re again now. Dwell within the current, be thankful for the place you’re at.”
Beckett, (who’s Hayes’ and Hadley’s brother from Tattered Stars & Falling Embers) has returned residence after years ‘on the run’ from a self-enforced private exile, therapeutic the world on his travels as a physician. He carries an amazing weight of guilt on his shoulders which he simply can’t shake. These siblings have been perpetually marked emotionally from when their youngest sister, Shiloh, was kidnapped on their watch. Particularly Beckett.
“Magnificence within the energy that carried you thru. Magnificence in the way you refused to be damaged. Magnificence that you just by no means let your self grow to be merciless like him. Addie, there isn’t a factor about you that isn’t stunning.”
When Addie and Beckett find yourself as housemates it initiates a journey of therapeutic, laughter, and love between two individuals who have emotional scars that also intermittently bleed. Each have so many unresolved emotions to untangle and goals to grasp. It was emotionally intense at occasions; it was thrilling, and it was extremely candy too. We liked each minute, although at occasions we felt the connection between Addie and Becket was extra friendship than a fiery love affair.
“Life is filled with ache. We’ll damage one another. However I belief us each to make it proper when that occurs. I belief that we’ll study and develop and do higher subsequent time.”
This collection is all about household, heartbreak, loyalty, compassion, and love in all its guises. It’s about overcoming your demons and tragic experiences. About celebrating what counts and therapeutic within the course of. About discovering love and belief. Catherine Cowles has such an exquisite voice which is nearly poetic at occasions. We can’t await the following installment on this collection!
