LOOOOOOKKKKKKK AT IIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTT!!! Molly's covers are some of the best, like, ever. I LOVE this one. So dark, foreboding, and broody. Exactly how I pictured Justin in my head.

This book should be read after reading Edge of Chaos. If you haven't read EoC, you can still read this book, but there will be questions. There are no loose ends to this story and it wraps up nicely, but you'll still want to read Edge of Chaos. Because it's that good.

Man. I did not want to like Justin. I did not like him in Edge of Chaos. I wanted to kick him in the balls more times than I care to count. He was a cold, callused, selfish bastard. After what he did in EoC, I would have been happy to have never heard from him again. Ever. In the long history of ever.

But he and Molly had different plans. You see, Justin may have been the proverbial screw-up, but he had words to say, dang it!

I *thought* he had hit his rock bottom with the events in Edge of Chaos. I was wrong. So. Wrong. He continued a downward spiral of self destruction until he was given the ultimatum: rehab or prison. He may have been an idiot, but he isn't stupid. He took rehab.

But he made a huge mistake while in jail, awaiting trial for his spiral activities. He got in line with a man with no morals. Justin felt he had no other option. He didn't want to be there longer than was necessary so he took this deal and ran with it. It would come back to bite him. These things always do ...

I'm going to go light on the Charlie side. It wasn't so much about Justin finding someone to lean on and be better for and wanting love from her. Yes, she was a HUGE part of his recovery process, but this story was really, truly about Justin finding himself. Digging himself out of the hole after asking Charlie to hand him the shovel.

No. This story was about REDEMPTION. It was about redeeming yourself after thinking for so long, so achingly long, that you were a monster. A menace. A blight on the Earth.

Edge of Recovery was a quick-paced, very enjoyable book. No matter how I felt about Justin going in, I came out wishing him the best. He deserves more and thanks to his actions in this book, he will definitely get his happily ever after.
