Review: Darkness Before Dawn

Darkness Before Dawn by Claire Contreras
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


  "I love you to the moon and back, baby."

- Cole Murphy

Well, i don't know what to say because I only know that I enjoyed reading this book. A lot. Yeah!

Let me just share a song that fits the story of this book. How Cole and Blake felt every time they were separated. This one is called "With Me" by Sum 41:

  "I don't want this moment to ever end,
Where everything's nothing without you.
I'd wait here forever just to, to see you smile,
'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you.

Through it all, I've made my mistakes.
I stumble and fall, but I mean these words.

I want you to know,
With everything I won't let this go.
These words are my heart and soul.
I'll hold on to this moment, you know,
As I bleed my heart out to show,
And I won't let go."





The story makes you want to cry every single time. If not cry, it makes you want to scream at those people who wants to ruin their lives. I really pity both of them because they have been through a lot of tragic things. It makes them the most people with a case of bad luck! :(

Here's another song that I've come to love because of this book! I even tweeted it to Ms Claire Contreras lol. The message of the song says it all about Cole and Blake's love for each other. This one is called "Arms" by Christina Perri.

  "II never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start

You put your arms around me
And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms around me and I'm home

How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around?
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown

I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

The world is coming down on me and I can't find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I'm alone"





Can i just say this is one of my favorites? Yes! Yes and yes. :)
