Blurb
For Ricky “Stoli” Branson, the stars were on his side. Social Sinners was headlining their first sold out US tour. Radio stations across the states were playing their songs, and he’d won the heart of the man he loved.
Everything was going great, or so he foolishly believed...
When an accident has them burying one of their own and leaves another fighting for his life, Stoli questions his beliefs. Or lack thereof.
“Have faith,” his mother tells him. But how can you have faith in something that threatens to take away your only reason for breathing?
Book 1 is the only book in the series that can be read as a stand-alone.

REVIEW
My Rating - 5 Stars!
In The Shadows, the second book in the Social Sinners series by TL Travis, picks up after the events from book 1, Behind The Lights. If you loved Behind the Lights, you need to read In The Shadows!
Stoli and Joey are now a couple, but it is all new to them. Kissing, sex, all of it is new. And all of these new-for-them moments are beautiful and emotional!
Their relationship is so enchanting and charming. I love how strong Stoli's love for Joey is, and how much he wants to prove his love to Joey. Stoli's pain for Joey's last relationship is raw and real, and he wants to heal Joey.
Their dreams as a band are coming true, and their career is taking off. Personally, I love that Stoli feels invisible when he's next to Joey. They have been best friends since they were 5 and turning their friendship into a romantic relationship is just perfect for them.
We get more of Stoli's family, including his little brother, who I just adore! They add so much to Joey and Stoli's lives, as they are so caring, admirable and funny.
Unfortunately, their journey contains a tragic accident, which will leave them numb, injured and unsure of their future. And, as for me, oh dear lord, I couldn't stop crying. This part of their journey gutted me, leaving me so damn raw. That said, it is not a negative thing, just part of their journey that is well worth these difficult moments.
Social Sinners is an emotional journey, that's phenomenal, tear-jerking, and absolutely gripping. I found myself crying, laughing, swooning, and crying some more.
TL Travis's writing style is wonderful, as it's written with passion and tenderness, and flows seamlessly with a skillful and heartfelt tone.
If you haven't started reading TL Travis's Social Sinners series yet, please do your self a favor and do so now. It is one gripping tale you won't forget anytime soon!
