Laura's Review of Sing (Songs of Submission, #7) by C.D. Reiss

Synopsis

This is the last book in the series.

Take my hand, my love.
On sinews of air we tread
Aught but distance our guide
With no tempo to our gait
No endpoint drawn
Neither plot nor plan
By the thorns of a compass rose
We bound toward the horizon

What I Loved

   

       Wow well, this book definitely set the entire series into an entirely different direction, which I loved because I didn’t see it coming at all! The last installment in this series had my heart just in pieces most of the time with tears pouring down my face.  I just fell so much more in love with Jonathan and Monica and because of that I almost felt desperate at times because I wanted them to have their happily ever after so badly. I love books that tug on my heart strings then rip it out and hopefully put it all back together at the end.

          There was so much going on in this book, not just with Monica and Jonathan as a couple but other parts of Monica’s life.  Her desperation at times just made me want to reach into this story and hold her because everything that was happening to her was so much.  I felt like I was drowning in her misery and I loved every second of it.  I think what I loved most about this part in particular was that Monica turned into the hero not Jonathan, making her a stronger woman than I ever thought possible. 

Not So Much

      

    This story was just so amazing that I truly don’t think I have any real complaints.  I think the only negative part of this story was that I wish the epilogue was more detailed and explained better.  Not so much for Monica and Jonathan’s story but more for Monica’s career and even Darren’s.  He was such a wonderful supporting character that it’s not really explained how he got to that point in his life just that he’s there.  I get the story isn’t about him, but I felt like a couple more paragraphs would’ve made the epilogue more well-rounded not just with Darren but with Monica as well.

To Sum It All Up!

    

    

       I really enjoyed reading this series, and I as horrifying this particular part was I think I loved it the most out of all the other books.  I love tons of drama and heart ache and this one was packed with it on every page.  I love Monica so much there are no words on how much I enjoyed getting to know her and going on this journey with her Jonathan.  I think what sets this series apart from many others in this genre is that at the end of it all Jonathan was the one that needed help and support from Monica, usually it’s the rich man coming in and saving the day but in this one it was Monica that became the backbone in their love.  Also it was magical to have music so intertwined with all the emotions and sequences in their love story.  I think it made their love more mystical and beautiful all at the same time.  I felt like at times I could almost hear Monica’s voice of her play the viola.  The chemistry between them heats up immediately in this series and very much continues throughout the entire series. I like that the author got creative with their sex scenes in this one, because those hot scenes definitely give you a reprieve from all the drama going on around them and I think it made me love those scenes even more.  Overall this was such an amazing series I am totally mystified by Monica and Jonathan and days later I still have a crazy book hangover after finishing it, so much so I can’t wait to sit down with them and start all over again.
