   Finally peace in Faithful.     It's been a long journey since we were introduced to Ester and the lovely people of Faithful, Tennessee. But it's finally the end of the road, and there's peace in Faithful. Or so they thought. Barker wraps up this trilogy  with one last stand. The suspense builds flawlessly until the battle that will finally give Ester her peace and her freedom from the demons of their past.    Though this book is part of a trilogy, Barker does a good job a catching up Essie's backstory in the book. I think this novel will standalone but you will want to know more about the residents of Faithful, so I suggest reading them in order.    Warnings for the Faithful Peace are a little different from the rest of the series.  Ester has a very dark past. Though Barker doesn't directly explain the horrid things she went through, we still know it happened.  Most of the violence and sexual content in the novel is implied....

My Jinx is finally here!!!  I've been crushing on Jinx Monroe for a while now, since he was still the town bad boy in Half Moon Holler. It has been awesome to watch him grow as a character and develop into Half Moons very own hero.  Bradley has done a great job with this series. She brings the the small town of Half Moon, Alabama to life with vivid characters and their totally intertwined crazy lives. Each person in town has a unique backstory and personality. I can probably give you more town gossip about Half Moon at this point, than I can my own town. Half Moon definitely holds a special place in my heart.  And Jinx Monroe? I'm pretty sure that boy could own the whole heart.. ( Ya know, if he did actually exist on the physical plane and wasn't a million miles out of my league.)    I suppose I should stop swooning over Jinx and give you some warnings. Basic Half Moon stuff, really. There's definitely nosey neighbors, lots of F-bombs and an extremely hot alpha-...
