Blurb

When Caleb Chance walked out in Detroit five years ago, leaving his band, millions of his fans and his lover behind, Leo knew he could never forgive.

Some things, no matter what the cause, are unforgivable.

But Leo never expected Caleb to show up again, clean and sober and wanting to get their band, Star Shadow, back together. He definitely never expected to agree to Caleb’s plan.

He never expected to confront the love of his life again—or the disaster of his past, the hopelessness of his future, and every terrible thing he’s been carrying inside him.

But maybe some things aren’t so terrible after all.

Review 

My Rating - 5 Stars!

Terrible Things is a complex and riveting romance. As the first book in Beth Bolden's Star Shadow series, I am already in love with this series.

Caleb loved Leo so intensely that it ruined him. He lost himself and everything he loved. Now he's healing, sober, and back in the band. But, the weight of his issues is still there, leaving him still trying to get himself back to where he wants to be.

Damn! The love between Caleb and Leo is one of the more intense ones I've read. Their love was their everything. And without one another, the sadness is always there.

They are survivors, their story is raw, intense, and positively compelling.

It's a long and difficult journey to try to find each other again.

I love every second of this tale. It's very angsty, but it's all for a good reason. I could feel Leo's pain jumping off the pages when Caleb returns. It's all consuming and intense. Then there's Caleb's pain, which will leave you in tears. 

I can't recommend Terrible Things enough. I love every second of this spectacular love story, and look forward to what Beth Bolden comes up with next.
