September - The Series by Andrea Smith review

September - The Series by Andrea Smith

I give this book 5 HOT, Emotional stars!

This series had my emotions all over the place but you know when your emotions all over that you are reading a great book!


This book had me on the edge of my seat, gasping at some of the outrageous things, crying at beautiful scenes and laughing at others. This book pulls you in for a roller coaster ride of emotions but you also get to see true love at it’s finest.

It’s a taboo book and some things I couldn’t handle but still loved the characters and the story.

September is left behind with her step father and sister. Her mom just up and leaves. After awhile September goes to live with grandparents but doe return to help her younger sister.

This is where things start going in a different direction. Jesse (step-father) accepts the help with Scout and September falls for him. It’s a story about coming of age and things happen. I won’t say what because I don’t want to spoil it for you. You will not be disappointed and decisions will be made.

When September Ends:

September Ends is the conclusion to this series and i was happy to read it. I was also happy to see that September was going to be okay. I sometimes worry about characters if I can’t figure out what their next move is and I am happy she is going to be okay.

September is more mature in this book and has a real slap of reality in the face which is a good thing because sometimes you need that. She also figures out that love can come in many forms and not your usual “traditional” love relationship.

I grew to love September more and more and her family.  September handles the slap of reality and knows what direction to go in.

Andrea Smith,  you have outdone yourself with this series and I LOVE IT!!! Beautiful story of a young girl that was left behind by her mom and then her coming of age taboo story. This book is very powerful on a young girl's life.

I recommend you read this but must warn you that it is not for the faint hearted! If you like taboo coming of age stories then get this series! It has mature content and and is intended for 18+.

Dysfunctional empires were made to fall.
I am Caesar. Broken and conflicted. I am a man who gives false goodness to those who crave it. I provide solace to the ones who beg to be saved, giving them the goodbyes they want. But, my quiet little world is about to be shattered by the whispers from heaven and hell.
I am Mateo. Unlovable and unworthy. I am the boy everyone runs from. I keep love close to me in little jars of perfection, reminding me of a thousand goodbyes I never had to say, because I left them before they could leave me.
I am Svetlana. Dirty and Used. Birthed into brutality while still trying to comprehend my version of normal. I am an injured lamb, eaten by filthy wolves day after day. Just as salvation seems like it's within reach, a goodbye from this awful world is all that I wish for.

Excerpt:
“We need to go, Lettie doll.”
Why? Why does he call me that? Why does he make me feel like I want to keep living for tomorrow? I hate it! But I have no choice as I stare into his black eyes. They draw me in and suck the wind from my lungs, once begging for death, now craving life. The tearing I remembered from before with Pavel is instantly replaced with lust, throbbing between my legs as I feel the urge to fall to my knees and kiss his bloody boots to show him how much I praise him. He holds my heart in his hands. He knows this, but something tells me that his heart is in the balance, too.
Girls like me hold no power. I took life. I took one of his dolls because they held something I never will. Peace. Order. Death. I broke. The little, quiet girl who let herself be raped day after day let herself break into a million pieces as the hard dick pleasured her while her lover loved him more. I thought for sure I would be reprimanded for my actions, but a softness I haven’t seen before is present in his eyes. And maybe something else. Worry? Is that worry? Is his face red? I find myself wanting to comfort him, but he doesn’t like to be touched. My warm, trembling hands make him feel uncomfortable. The push and pull between life and death, love and loss, is making me mad.
-Svetlana, The Goodbye Man
