Review of Falling (Fading #2) - Kindle Crack Book Reviews
Falling by E.K. BlairMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
ARC kindly provided in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler free. 4.50 - 5 stars.
Falling (Fading #2) by E.K. Blair is told from Ryan’s POV. Essentially it’s the same story retold through Ryan's POV. This book does not feel rehashed since there is new material added and it’s from a diff POV. In Falling, we get to understand why Ryan is the way he is. This story feels fresh since Ryan’s POV added so much depth to this heartbreaking love story. I loved and getting in Ryan’s head and understanding why he closed himself off emotionally – it was key for me. Ryan created an emotional band aid with sex and booze to numb his feelings associated with his father and his painful home life. I recommend reading Fading(Book #1) before reading book two. Once again E.K. Blair pulled on my heartstrings with Ryan and Candace and their emotional journey. Her writing and character development are simply amazing. 4.50 - 5 stars. I would recommend reading this series if you are in the mood for some solid emotional Kindle Crack!

EXCERPT:
I drop my head in my hands and let it out. It’s a haze of unrecognizable emotions beating through me. To look past this and let her continue to sit and do nothing is something that I don’t think I’m capable of. But Jase is right. My girl is so damn fragile even though she’s so damn strong. It’s a paradox that’s hard to deal with. She’s gonna break one way or another.
Irritation boils inside, and the longer I sit here it starts to eat away at me until it takes over and I stand up, kicking over the stool, screaming, and smashing my glass against the brick wall behind the bar followed next by the bottle. The blast of glass shattering and sprinkling to the floor is all I hear through the ringing in my head. I grab my keys, leaving the mess, and head to my jeep.
I drive. Making my way back to my loft and upstairs to find Candace standing in my closet, slipping on a sweater.
“Why didn’t you do anything?” I ask, unable to control my frustration.
She turns to look at me, confused, when she asks, “What are you talking about?”
“Don’t make me say it.”
“Ryan, please. Don’t,” she says and then walks past me to sit on the edge of the bed.
“Who is he?” I press, emotions getting the best of me.
She keeps her chin tucked down. Avoiding.
“Candace, tell me his fuckin’ name!”
