Light in the Shadows (Find You in the Dark sequel) by A. MeredithWalters

"And he asked her to share his forever." 

Clayton Reed had a lot of issues, a destructive mind, and a love that triggered him in both good and bad ways . He was consumed by darkness but in that darkness he found the light..Maggie May Young. 

Maggie would love Clay no matter what, through it all, forever. She would save him even when she needed saving, she would risk it all for the boy she loves. But when Clay leaves and she realizes she's not strong enough to be okay..her world falls apart. She realizes that living in self pity isn't going to do her any good so she attempts to put herself and her life back together. That is until Clayton comes back and once again her world is turned upside down, inside out. 

Clayton comes back to Virginia after a horrible tragedy which makes him have to be the strong one, the one to depend on. But seeing Maggie again triggers something in him. The one girl he'll ever love, his light in the darkness. 

Wanting to do right by her Clay will try anything to get another chance with the girl he loves. But is he strong enough to handle it? Are there some issues you can't overcome? How many times can you tell yourself that you're ok when you're not? 

Light in the Shadows is an amazing story, a great continuation to Find You in the Dark. It brings you up and and takes you down. You feel for Clayton and Maggie and want their relationship to overcome it all. 

"In the dark, she became my light." 

There are some funny bits. Maggie is sarcastic and well Clay is Clay so even though you know it's rough and he's going through some issues you will giggle here and there. But mainly this story is real, it shows you that you can overcome the demons who try and take over your life. But mainly it shows you that no matter how screwed up you are when someone honestly loves you, they love you for everything you are; demons and all. 

"I'll wait for you. I'll always wait for you."

Read this story and love it and remember if you're going through hell keep going. The thing about shadows is that there has to be light in order to have them.

Find you in the Dark by A. Meredith Walters

Before I start this review I need to say that I am indeed crying as I write this. I literally just finished the book and I'm a sobbing mess. Now if you're an avid reader of my reviews you know that I'm very dramatic when I review books, Tee would say I'm extra and maybe a drama queen (which I am lol) but it's because I get so involved with the stories I read. So without further interruptions I'll start my review now.

Maggie Young was lost in her daily routine, she had great parents, great friends but nothing about her A typical life excited her. She was going through the motions just being alive rather than living. That is until she ran into Clayton Reed.

Clayton was beautiful, quiet and dangerous. But not the -rides a motorcycle with no helmet- type of dangerous. No Clay had secrets and issues that needed to be addressed. He needed help but it's hard to help someone who didn't want to face the truth. Although for Maggie, he would open up, he would try.

But sometimes love isn't enough and Maggie could only do so much, with a love unlike any other she would try to do anything for Clay even if it meant turning her back on those who she loves. But when is enough enough? How many times can someone apologize until sorry doesn't mean a damn thing? It's not just saying "I'm sorry" it's also changing, wanting to change, to better yourself. But Clay had demons to fight and Maggie could only be his savior for so long. 

"Sometimes love can't make everything better, and the best thing for everyone is to walk away. No matter how much it may hurt."

Find you in the Dark is brilliant, an amazing story with heartbreaking moments. It's a look into the life of a boy who needs to be saved and a girl who would risk it all to save him. There are moments you want to punch Clay in the face and moments you want to hold him and never let go. And Maggie is wonderful, so young yet so strong, so brave. 

"Just know that you are and always will be my world. You found me in the dark and saved me from myself. You have shown me the type of person I want to be and I strive to be him. For you and for me. I will love you forever."

Light in the Shadows is the sequel to this story. Of course I will be reading and reviewing it as well.
