The Son & His Hope by Pepper Winters

Pepper Winters, I am convinced that your words are dipped in fucking MAGIC! 

There will be no spoilers in this review because I believe that you need to go in blind, and to get the full impact of this story I recommend you read The Ribbon Duet prior. 

With that being said....Jacob Wild you’re the thief of hearts and the destroyer of hope....and yet still you OWN ME!

After the breathtakingly beautiful story of Ren and Della I had no idea that their little Wild One would come along and steal a piece of my fucking soul. 

I thought that after his parents love that was literally written in the stars that he would of embraced all things that is love but oh how wrong was I. Jacob is one of the most complex characters that Pepper ever wrote. 

Jacob Wild is dying form a broken heart.... because he truly believes that where love and happiness exists so does tragedy and death. I had to watch this beautiful human reluctance at being loved even when I knew that his heart was as big as galaxies. All because of one tragedy and a promise he made to his Hero. 

Then we got the pleasure of meeting Hope Jacinta Murphy “little lace”. I loved that her issues are so much like Jacob’s own but 
instead of hating the idea of love her heart grew 10 times in size and she loved without conditions. She’s one of those characters that shines through even on the darkness days. The way she tried her hardest to break through Jacobs walls were excruciating to read but I loved her more for it. She truly is a beautiful character, strong, selfless and resilient. 

And then there’s Della Ribbon....just when I thought that I couldn’t possibly love her anymore Pepper proved me wrong. Its been months since I read this book and I still can’t think about her without feeling a flutter in my heart. 

The amount of emotions that this book has pulled from me, I was left exhausted but in the most beautiful way. This book tested the limits of every character as they had to allow Jacob to be who he needed to be without the proclamation of love. 

I think this was the hardest thing for me, to know that you love someone with every molecule of your being but that person cannot love you back. 

What would you do when every breath you take, you’re willing to take another for the person you love but he would rather suffocate that accept it? 

Suffice to say that this book Ripped. My. Fucking. Heart. Out....but all the heartache and tears were worth it because in the end I got to witness the most hauntingly beautiful love story EVER! 

What Winters gave us with this book is nothing short of perfect and It will ruin you in the best possible way. 

I promise you will not regret this entire series, it’s unlike anything that you’ve ever read before. 

Truly once in a lifetime. 

5/5  Emotional Stars.

* “And just like his father, the love he had to give comes with torture and torment, and I pity the poor girl that falls for him” *

I would like to include a poem from the amazing Atticus because I remember at 85% in this book I recited it. 

*Ma luciole,
my firefly the very spark of my life in the darkest night burning bright you are my Hope the only light I need to see. *
