Amanda's Reviews > The Skeptic

4.5 rounded to 5

After enjoying the introduction novella to this new Kelly Fox series I was excited to get to know the Lost Boys more and I was not disappointed. An abundance of found family , queer support & love, hurt /comfort , high steam , priest / sinner role play , loss of a parent, ALL the feels ( y'all I shed more than a few years ) , a sprinkle of cameos from past Kelly Fox series ( but not enough for someone to feel left out , just a treat for fans) , a happy ending to put a smile on your face . I honestly don't know which Lost Boys
I'm most excited to get a HEA because I'm so excited for them all .

“Baby,” I whispered, pulling on one of his wayward curls. “It took me a second to clock it, but… I’ve been falling for you, too.”

I loved Holden Paige with my whole heart. Telling him now, in the sharpness of his grief, felt manipulative.

this radiant expression was hard- won and layered with emotions. This was his I love you smile, and I wanted to see him wearing it always.

Thank you, Pops, for bringing the Lost Boys into our lives. I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve got a favorite, and I’m gonna love him forever.
