Review: From the Wreckage (From the Wreckage #1) by Melissa Collins ~ New Release!

****4 Stars****

 

 

Well, this certainly caused a tear or two to be shed. It's not a heart-wrenching read but it does tug at the heart strings.

Grace and David meet at a very young age and although there's not a lot of back story, there's enough to set the scene and cement that there's more to come.

I found the first half of the book slightly on the slow side but it spans a few years and is understandably slower as you get to know the characters.

The second half definitely picks up and there's plenty to sink your teeth into and I found myself enjoying it more.

The two sub-characters, Ian and Jade, are brilliant - I'm sure there's a story there to tell.

There are a few minor editing issues but given that this is an ARC copy, I'm sure they'll be picked up before being published (and if they're not, there not severe enough to detract from the story).

All in all, an enjoyable read.

First, he saved me.
I lived because he was a hero.
And then he was gone.
Uprooted by the fire that destroyed our home, my family moved away and I never saw David Andrews again.
Then, he found me.
Eighteen years later, he rescued me again - in much simpler terms, of course. By loving me, by giving me the fairy tale I’d always hoped for, he provided me with the perfect life.
Now, he needs to be saved.
It’s my turn to be strong, to be brave, to be valiant.
When flames threaten to turn us to ashes, it’s up to me to pull us From the Wreckage.
