The Brightest Sunset

(The Darkest Sunrise Duet, #2)

by Aly Martinez



Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me. 

Bullshit. 

Words destroyed me. 

“I’m sorry. She didn’t make it.” 

“Daddy, he can’t breathe!” 

“There’s nothing more we can do for your son.” 

Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me. 

Lies. 

Those syllables and letters became my executioner. I told myself that, if I didn’t acknowledge the pain and the fear, they would have no power over me. But, as the years passed, the hate and the anger left behind began to control me. 

Two words—that was all it took to plunge my life into darkness. 

“He’s gone.” 

In the end, it was four soft, silky words that gave me hope of another sunrise. 

“Hi. I’m Charlotte Mills.”

My Review:


The Brightest Sunset (The Darkest Sunrise, #2)The Brightest Sunset by Aly Martinez
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Brightest Sunset by Aly Martinez is the stunningly heart-wrenching, emotional and powerful conclusion to her Darkest Sunrise Duet. Charlotte and Porter's story is tumultuous, heart-breaking, but ultimately healing. The journey is complicated and difficult for these two and their families but despite everything there is closure. For the sake of no spoilers, I'll leave it at that. I dare you to read this and not cry. I don't think it can be done. By far one of my favorite reads of the year!



About The Series:


Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me. 

Whoever coined that phrase is a bald-faced liar. Words are often the sharpest weapon of all, triggering some of the most powerful emotions a human can experience. 

“You’re pregnant.” 

“It’s a boy.” 

“Your son needs a heart transplant.” 

Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me. 

Lies. 

Syllables and letters may not be tangible, but they can still destroy your entire life faster than a bullet from a gun. 

Two words—that was all it took to extinguish the sun from my sky. 

“He’s gone.” 

For ten years, the darkness consumed me. 

In the end, it was four deep, gravelly words that gave me hope of another sunrise. 

“Hi. I’m Porter Reese.”
