Long Way Home | March 10, 2017

by Katie McGarry (Harlequin Teen / January 2017))

Katie McGarry’s books give me life and her latest Thunder Road series is my absolute favorite! After reading the second book, Walk the Edge last year, January 2017 could not come fast enough. Long Way Home is the third and final installment (unfortunately, but I’m counting on future short stories here…or possibly the addition of another book?) of the Thunder Road series that follows Chevy and Violet’s story.

We meet Chevy and Violet in Nowhere But Here, the first book that kicked off the series, and we obviously know they were a thing. But what exactly happened with their relationship and are there any future possibilities between the two? Long Way Home answers those questions, and so much more. Katie comes back again with her stunning storytelling and deep characters in this final book. Violet is clearly a headstrong female in a male dominated motorcycle club society where men do the saving and women obey. The gender discrimination doesn’t work for Violet, and neither does having a boyfriend so close to the club. Chevy loves Violet, a significant part of his life, but he loves the club, his family since birth, too. So much of this series is about loyalty, and it’s up to Chevy to choose what he values more and abide by that decision.

Tough choices, difficult truths, and deadly situations tear these characters apart. It’s their inner strength and true support they can manage to find around them that eventually help them shine above their difficulties. Every single one the characters is special and inspiring. All of Katie McGarry’s books give me hope, and Long Way Home is no different. If you haven’t checked out this series yet, it’s definitely time. And once you’re finished, you can join me in my year long wait for her next book.
