DEEP.. EMOTIONAL.. GRIPPING AND FULL OF FEELS

I am slowly working my way through most of the books written by Aly Martinez because she really knows how to write a unique storyline packed full of feels.. and wow, this Duet delivered so many highs and lows and you really FEEL every single one alongside her well crafted characters. I saw every touching scene as the layered plot slowly unfurled its secrets in books 1 and 2. I hoped, with every tender tentative step forward, that these two damaged people could emotionally move into the light together from their dark heartbreaking pasts. I was thrilled then devastated and heartbroken as their rollercoaster ride twisted and turned. I felt every pitfall as the past and the present painfully collided and I was captivated as every emotional scene revealed its devastating touching truths. And finally, after all the tragedies and triumphs, I eagerly soaked up the perfect HEA ending.

Worth a credit? Yes definitely. Aly Martinez is a skilled author who takes you on a dual POV journey that has so much passion, tangible pain, heartache and love love love. Great narration brought it all to life and made it an enjoyable 5 star audiobook.

I cried like a baby

I cried deeply and nearly turned the audio off within the first three minutes. You see my son had died from a heart attack caused by an acute asthma attack. He had been diagnosed as a baby and unfortunately, he died at the age of 11. I continued to Continue to listen cautiously. But in the end the story was so well written and the characters and storylines are so familiar that I completely surrendered and prayed both families would finally have peace in the closure. I obviously loved the story for obvious reasons but mostly because Aly Martinez is a phenomenal writer.

Incomplete

Good book, but predictable. Did not know it wasn’t a complete book, or I wouldn’t have bought it.

Tears

I had tears by the end. Aly is an amazing writer with plot twists all over the place.
The narrators were on point and I'm quickly moving on to book two.

New-to-me author. The writing is overwrought, but I was enjoying it well enough until it just...ended.

Amazing !

Starts of intense and ends the same way! Overall a good read ! Now to read the second part!

the darkness will get you every time

Porter & Charlotte: TRIGGERS: kidnapping, suicide, attempted murder, depression. well... that happened. this book totally screwed my mind. it's a slow burn, no insta love. both characters suffering from depression in different ways. their stories are parallel to each other... one suffering the loss of a child, the other trying to prevent the loss of a child because if illness. soon their lives become very much perpendicular as they become friends, then lovers. the plot twist was shocking in only that I guessed it at a certain point in the book, but was not really expecting that to be it. there's more to the twist and of course a freaking CLIFFHANGER!! DAMN IT!!!

Phenomenal

Great writing. Great story! Fantastic story! Heartbreaking, broken and wonderful! That ending though….I can’t wait to start book 2!

Gripping and Emotional

Wow, this story gripped me from the go. It was emotional and one that had me second and third guessing my predictions— that ending had me ready to dive into the next instalment (lucky it was already lined up!!).
5 Darkest Sunrises all the way!!
