Made of Steel (Made of Steel Series) Paperback – March 13, 2017

This story had me so emotional. This story of Summer Brooks aka as Sadie Davis. It was so poignantly written from the beginning giving the back story of how she got to be where she is. Her parents killed in a car accident when she was small and who knows what happened to her grandmother and then she somehow is placed in foster homes. Then there is Miles her next-door neighbor who is two years older than her. When the story opens, they are star gazing together in his tree house and she feels like she is in her happy place watching the stars and lying next to her best friend. The accident happens that night and she ends up going to live with her grandmother. This story has a cliffhanger but since I am late to the party, I was able to get the complete series, so I am doing this review so I can discover who V is, what really happened to Summer while she was in foster care and why her and Miles stopped writing one another or did they and who her roommate and her boyfriend Levi is. This is intriguing, suspenseful and full of twists and turns. It will keep you wondering what is and who is who in this story. I would highly recommend this series.

WOW! I don’t really know how I feel about this book. It made me feel so many emotions I guess you could call that a win for Ivy Smoak. I was mad, hurt, sad, happy, hopeful, joyful. It was a rough ride. Roughest of all is that it’s a cliffhanger and you basically have no idea what’s going on. Thank god the next book is out because as soon as I finish this review I’m reading it. So if you’re wondering if you should pick up this book and you love single books with a HEA this isn’t for you. Like I said, no clue what is going on.Story wise the lack of understanding of the entire situation really hooks you. You keep reading to see what will happen, how things will turn out, who the F ARE these people???I am pretty frustrated with the actual romance/love story. I want her to be with Miles! They belong together! I was so made that Eli was making her fall for him in the beginning. I don’t like people with indecisive love though it’s probably realistic. I felt like she was being untrue to him. And let me just say, if V and Miles aren’t the same person I’m going to flip the F out! Fair warning Ivy!The fact that Miles doesn’t know who she is or at the very least is pretending not to know is making me crazy. I really needed duel POVs in this book (granted I know that would ruin things if he IS V, but I need to see Miles perspective on all of this.Sufficient to say this book has me in a tizzy. I’m an Ivy Smoak fan and this gets 4/5 stars from me it would have gotten 5 if she hadn’t had so many feelings for Eli, duel POV, and if she just would have revealed Miles and V are the same person to at least the reader (they better be!).I’m off to continue the next book in this series and it better not disappoint!

Summer Brooks had a relatively happy existence with her family and her next-door neighbor and best friend, Miles. The two of them were inseparable. A love for the ages that even at a young ages that summer and miles were didn’t change their bond or meaning. Then a fateful night changed everything and she had to move away.Over the years, Summer suffered horrible things, that brought her to her new self (Sadie). This new identity and appearance helped to separate her from the horrific people from her past. Now a college student she is meeting new people, but still has to look over her shoulder and remain cautious. Then she runs into Miles on her dorm floor. But does he recognize her? She doesn’t let him close enough to build back their old relationship.Then there is the fact that there is a vigilante within the Cory fighting crime and protecting Sadie. Sadie feels a connection to “V” and feels safe for the first time in a while. All the characters seem genuine, but are they? This read kept the readers on the edge of their seats wondering who was who they really said they are and if they are truly on Sadie/Summers side?This book was awesome. As were the rest of the series. It was a must turn the page read no matter how long you have been in one position, and keep going until you get to the end type of series. It is exciting, sad, heart wrenching, filled with longing and romance, mysterious, and keeps you continually guessing about what will happen next.I loved the book and series! Ivy Smoak really kept my interest from page one until the very end. Although there is a cliffhanger, it only evokes more thrill of the plot line and keeps the reader engaged. As opposed to some books that through a cliffhanger in just to keep you plugged into buying more books. This was brilliantly placed and help facilitate the story line
