Light in the Shadows by A. Meredith Walters ~ Blog Tour and Giveaway



BLURB:

How do you keep going when you feel like your life is over?

Maggie never thought she’d see Clay again. So, she attempts to put her life back together after her heart has been shattered to pieces. Moving on and moving forward, just as Clay wanted her to.

Clay never stopped thinking of Maggie. Even after ripping their lives apart and leaving her behind to get the help he so desperately needed. He is healing...slowly. But his heart still belongs to the girl who tried to save him.

When a sudden tragedy brings Maggie and Clay face to face again, nothing is the same. Yet some things never change. Can the darkness that threatened to consume them be transformed into something else and finally give them what they always wanted? And can two people who fought so hard to be together, finally find their happiness? Or will their demons and fear drive them apart for good?

The thing about love, is even when it destroys you, it has a way of mending what is broken. And in the shadows, you can still see the light.

Review

Light in the Shadows is book 2, a continuation of Find You in the Dark, which left me completely and utterly shredded.  I was absolutely desperate to get my hands on this book and find out what was next for Maggie and Clay because I knew in my heart that their love story was not over and this was not the way things were supossed to end for them. This conclusion to their story is a truly beautiful, inspiring love story that I would give more than 5 stars if I could!

The book starts of with Clay's journey at The Grayson Center.  This is were he was brought for treatment after his incident and no one but his family knows where he is at, not even Maggie.  At first he is unreceptive to treatment but slowly he starts to open up to his illness and the staff and his friends at the center and realize that things need to change. Just when he is making miraculous strides in his treatment an unexpected accident brings him right back to Virginia and Maggie.  Maggie has been a complete mess since Clay left.  She is not the same girl that she was when she met Clay and she can't get that spark back no matter how hard she, her friends, or her family try. One things for sure Clay and Maggie definitely can't forget about each other. Clay will face struggles everyday for the rest of this life and they both will have difficult decisions to make but if they are meant to be they will their way back to each other through it all. 

"You taught me that the person I am is worth loving, worth fighting for. You gave me strength when I had none. You held me up when I wanted to fall. And now, I want to give you
everything. I want to give you the world. Because Maggie, you've given me mine. And it's you. It will always, forever, be you."

Clay and Maggie's story without a doubt is one of the most beautiful love stories I have ever read.  My heart was shredded then slowly put back together again. I cried through the entire epilogue then re-read it again and again.  I highly recommend that you read this series!
