The Edge of Heaven by Gia Riley Release Review

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

The Edge of Heaven is the second book in the Broken Wings Duet. You must read Wrong Side of Heaven before reading this one or you are going to be so lost it’s not even funny.

When I said I would kill for her, I meant it. When I said I would die for her, I meant that too. But protection comes with a price and so does my life. I can’t hold her. I can’t speak to her. I can’t even see her. The most important piece of my life is gone. I had everything. I had Winnie. And just like that, my unconditional love vanished. Picking up the pieces is impossible. There’s no easy way to fall out of love. But, that is exactly what I have to do.

I you have read Wrong Side of Heaven you know the biggest part of the story of Winnie, Jasper and Trey. Now you know there has to be a choice on Winnie’s part though if you have read the first book and through most of this book you knew which way Winnie was going. Now I in ways was all for that choice. I mean who doesn’t want the character to ride off into the sunset with the man she loves. However since I finished this book I didn’t dive right into writing this review I thought about this book hard and I have to say I am happier with the ending of this book than I would have been with the riding off in the sunset ending. This is not a pretty book and Winnie’s life just makes you want to go grab her up and bring her home with you and give her a better life. There are parts where my heart absolutely shatter, I got so mad I about threw my kindle and of course I had those moments where I bounced back and forth between what I wanted to happen. I don’t want to say much about his book as I am terrified I will give something away. However I will say that Gia Riley has given us the story of a girl who should be so broken by the cards that she was dealt, through not fault of her own, and should have given up so many times I can not even count them. However if that said I think we ended up with a story about life and how the worst can bring out the best and that you just have to hang on and be willing to see the beauty of some of the things that are around you and grab onto them and hold on for dear life. I hope ya’ll give this duet a chance. It is one that I loved and I am sure that I will read it again and again as the years go by.
