Clay's Hope: Judgement of the Six Companion series, Book 1

I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review and I have to say that I LOVE IT! I’ve never laughed so much while reading. Clay’s Hope is the companion book to Hope(less) from The Judgement of the Six series. It gives you Clay’s POV of what happens in book one and is very well written by Melissa Haag. It was so much fun to read and get inside Clay’s head. You will be laughing, crying, and smiling throughout. Clay’s Hope adds so much to the story (from Hope(less)) and gives us even more reason to fall in love with him. I highly recommend reading Hope(less) first; however you can read Clay’s Hope as a standalone.

I received this ARC from the Author for an honest review. I have to say...I loved it! This story is Hope(less) retold in Clay's POV. I realized after reading this book that I love Clay a lot. He is funny, smart, and so interesting to learn about! He cares a lot for Gabby. It shows in everything he does for her. I feel like this all this could be told in one book though . Switching back and forth between Clay's POV and Gabby's rather than make two different books. There was a lot of dull, repetitive spots throughout Hope(less) such as: This week they did laundry, she did homework while Clay laid next to her and read, he showered... Next week: Repeat... It got a little boring at times. And Clay's not talking till 97% still bothers me, but at least I understand more about why he did it. I think what gave this book 5 stars is being inside Clay's head was actually really fun. He had me rolling at times. And also that I finally understand what Clay was thinking the whole time in Hope (less). I really think this would have been better if it was all one book with Gabby and Clay's POV together. I think it would have made Clay's non-talking a little less annoying. Great book!

Maybe it's because I read hopeless so long ago but I thought it was awesome to refresh my memory with out sounding redundant. Plus the perspective of a silent man that just always seem to take what Gabby dished with little complaint made me unaware of his human feelings that anyone would feel.
