VanPelts, (White Trash Trilogy)

Brandy Slaven

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Blurb:

Life is full of ups and downs. No one knows this better than Kendall Davis. She unfortunately learns from a young age that good things never last. With an unbearable childhood and then the death of her grandmother, Kendall turns to the only people who seem to know she still exists. Brian, Casey, and Will. But as all things tend to go in her life, they too are struck with tragedy. In her grief, Kendall decides to end it all, but what happens when fate has other plans? With no happy end in sight, she must learn to live with the loss and eventually learn to never give up on love. **Trigger Warning** This story does mention self-harm and does NOT have a happy ending. If you can stick it out with Kendall's terribly sad beginning, be sure to catch her second chance at love in the White Trash Trilogy.

VanPelts is a prequel to the White Trash Trilogy. If you have already read Kendall's trilogy, then you know she started her journey broken. This breaks down the reasons of why. If you haven't already had the experience of reading WTT, you get the advantage of being broken down just like Kendall and going through everything with her. Either way, this is a must read.

This is a short prequel but it was packed with information about Kendall's life. The VanPelts were her salvation, her rocks. We knew losing them was a tragedy but man, reading it in detail. Getting to go through the experience with her of meeting them when she needed them most. Growing up together and falling in love. Then losing them in such a horrific way. Not to mention the loss of Nana. This book may be short but trust me, grab the tissues before you start. It's an emotional trauma you need to experience. If you haven't already, jump into WTT when you are done and join Kendall in her happy ending. If you have already read about Kendall's HEA, might be time for a reread.
