Book Review: Everything We Found

By Melissa Amster

On the outside, Nadia Jacobs is a cool, confident architect at the top of her game. But for the past decade, she’s been quietly building walls to keep the people she loves most at arm’s length. All because of him.

Thomas Donato sacrificed everything when he forced Nadia to keep a dangerous secret from everyone they knew. He did it to protect his family. But it cost him the woman he’s secretly loved since they were kids.

Now he wants back into Nadia’s life. Nadia’s heart does a familiar skip-and-stumble when met with his hesitant smile, but she sees through his bravado: Thomas is achingly alone. And letting him in risks losing everyone and everything she holds dear.

When his past abruptly crashes into their present, they are both suddenly on the run. Not only are they forced to confront the price of a secret they’ve kept for a decade, but a truth even more treacherous: their feelings for each other.

With time running out and nowhere to hide, will their love heal what darkness broke in them all those years ago, or will it shatter them forever? (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)

I'm so glad Kerry Lonsdale wrote another novel for her Everything series. I first read Everything We Keep ten years ago and fell in love with it (reviewed here). Since then, I have read all of Kerry's novels. 

Everything We Found is an explosive finale to the series and ties up some things from the first book, just through different lenses. It can be read on its own but I highly recommend reading all of the books as you will feel even more connected to the supporting characters this way. They're all great so it's worth a binge read until this one arrives in early August! I appreciated that Kerry included some refreshers from the first book so I could see exactly when and how everything fit in from Nadia's side.

There's romance and high-stakes suspense involved in this one, so be prepared not to leave your seat for a while! A lot of danger and intensity throughout, some of which I wasn't expecting at all. I was definitely along for the ride in hopes that good would prevail over evil. There are some parts in this story that are sad, especially when you think too much about them. I just wanted everything to be okay for Thomas and Nadia and I was definitely worried for them.

Be sure to add this one to your TBR right away. (There will be spoilers for the other books and you really won't want to ruin those experiences for yourself, so read the rest of the series first!)
