Resistance (1000 Revolution, #6)

My body is a hollow shell where my heart and soul used to reside before it was cruelly ripped to shreds by the talented Ms Pippa DaCosta. Resistance can NOT be read as a stand-alone story. At the very least you need to read book #5, though to be honest even that might not be enough and why would you want to deprive yourself of four other books of Caleb filled deliciousness? "There were a great many things about Caleb Shepperd I liked, and none of them were logical." Oh One, when will you finally get to be free? Please don't let it be out there amongst the stars, on your own. And Caleb, life really has dealt you a crappy hand but despite it all there is still a really good guy underneath all the tarnish and bluster. And the rest of the guys all deserve their own little slice of peace and happiness. "After my reluctant nod, Fran piloted the ungainly Starkiller to the shuttle's coordinates with all the skill and finesse i'd expect of an ex-fleet commander, although I'd never tell her that. Her ego was already big enough for the both of us." Beware, once you step aboard the Starkiller you are in for one heck of a bumpy ride. Up becomes down, left becomes right and enemies become, well, if not quite friends at least temporary allies. This book gave me all the feels, every single damn one, including several that were not welcome, not at all (#passmethekleenex, #uglycry). Whilst previous work by the author may have inferred intimacy between characters, this was much less subtle in its honesty. Whilst there are no very intimately graphic scenes, we are aware that some characters may get to bump their uglies. "This kiss was nothing but a meeting of mouths and tongue, but it didn't feel like nothing. It felt like safety, and comfort, and warmth. It felt like home." The ending left me spinning alone out there, amongst the stars, in the black. I'm fairly certain it's obvious from my random mumblings that this story has left me with one HUGE book hangover, and I'm still not quite sure how I'm going to process it. Count the stars... "Listen... I need you to know... you saved me in all the little ways. There ain't no power in the nine strong enough to stop me from saving you back."

Or else it would've been two stars. That's all.
