I gave this book 5/5 stars!
Throughout the series, I have always wondered what was going through Thomas' head. I especially wondered this when reading Escaping from Houdini. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed. I absolutely loved reading his point of view. It takes place a little during and after Escaping from Houdini, so it was perfect for me to get a feeling of his side of things during romantic complications. It also allowed me to understand how he will be thinking and his mindset for later on in their journey.
So many of my questions that I had for Thomas were answered, including how deep his love for Audrey truly goes. I wanted to know how he turned off his emotions so well as well. These questions were answered and I couldn't be happier with them.
I think this may be the best novella I have read. It was interesting and I didn't feel like I needed to read this book. I never felt like I was powering through it and trying to stay interested. I was captivated and it held my attention very well. It wasn't overloaded with information, either, which I enjoyed.
This book made me like Thomas' character even more. After reading this, I noticed how much of his emotions are kept and can't be read by Audrey. There is definitely more power, and it does him justice.
This review is also on Goodreads, Bookbub, and Amazon!
