The Oath we Give (The Hollow Boys, Band 5)

Going into it, I was a bit nervous about whether it would hold up to the rest of the series, however I was pleasantly surprised. Silas’s character really stood out in this book. Getting to see his thoughts and experiences added a lot to the story, especially since he’s been more of a quiet presence in the earlier books. His perspective made the story feel fresh and gave good closure to his part in the group. 😭 Coraline’s character also stood out for me. Everything she had been through made her journey of growth and healing so impactful. 🥹 Watching Silas help and guide her through that process made my heart ache for both of them!! For me the plot was well done. It brought everything together in a way that felt natural. I appreciated that it kept me interested from start to finish, and it never felt like things were being rushed or dragged out. I’m happy with how the series ended, even though I feel a little sad it’s over. It’s always hard to say goodbye to characters you’ve spent so much time with, but this book gave them a good send-off. 😭If you’ve enjoyed the rest of the series, you’ll definitely like this one too.

I did it. I finished this series and the last book was definitely my favorite. The spice was some of the best of all the books and the characters and their relationship mostly made sense. Surprisingly, I am kinda sad to be leaving Ponderosa Springs, but I am also relieved I am done. I would probably recommend this series if you're ok with cringing at questionable writing, ignoring wording and sentences that don't make sense, being turned on by highly explicit and detailed sex scenes and simultaneously put off/grossed out. Otherwise this is too much work.
