Melissa Haag, once again, weaves an amazing tale of
adventure and suspense. Carlos’ Peace by Melissa Haag is the fifth book in the
Judgement of the Six Companion Series. This awesome book is the counterpart to
(Dis)Content and provides Carlos’ point of view. (Dis)Content was told from Isabelle’s
point of view.
As in (Dis)Content, the series story-line is moving along
and most of the character from the rest of the books are present. The main
characters are Carlos, Isabelle, Ethan, and Grey. The rest of the characters
are mentioned frequently and interact with the main ones.
Carlos was always the strong, silent, brooding type of guy in
the rest of the books and I didn’t have a major attachment to him. That
completely changed in this book. I love Carlos.
In (Dis)Content, Carlos was serious, thoughtful, intelligent, and
caring. We got to see him but not really understand what makes him special. In
Carlos’ Peace, wow, he is amazing. It makes you fall in love with him.
We get to see Carlos’ internal struggle and how hard his
life has been. It clearly shows how much he keeps locked inside and his
desperate need for a love and acceptance from everyone, especially Isabelle.
Isabelle is a fighter who has struggled her entire life with
an ability that she couldn’t control. It caused her to isolate herself from
almost everyone except her best friend Ethan. He was her rock and the only
person she could count on. I loved seeing her find out about the Judgements,
accept who she is, but still fight for her independence.
Carlos and Isabelle have a lot of chemistry that she fights
through most of the book, which makes things very interesting. I loved seeing
the flip side of the events from (Dis)Content and getting additional facts that
enrich the story.
Carlos’ Peace flows nicely between action, and building
romance. It also has a few twists, some surprises and a couple of scenes that
just break your heart. This series just keeps getting better and better and are
really hard to put down. I highly recommend this book and I can’t wait for the
next in the series!
