Surviving Grace (Surviving Series Book #5) by Virginia Wine – Review by Angela Hayes

Surviving Grace: Book Five by Virginia Wine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“I had my words to comfort me, my thoughts on paper. Pouring the black inky darkness onto the white sheets. Releasing them to the universe, a single slip of paper healing my broken past. Messy feelings visibly bared and unprotected for all to see. This was my story.”

Surviving Grace is the fifth and final book in the Surviving series by Virginia Wine. This book is written with a lyrical, poetic style that really enhanced this story. The poetry between each chapter also helps to set the tone and mood for the whole book. As this is the fifth and final story in the series, I really recommend reading all the books so you have all the information you need to properly understand/follow and enjoy this book, at the very least you really need to have read book four, first. Surviving Grace is about family, friendship, trauma, betrayal, love, loss, trust, self-realization/self-discovery, and overcoming. There is plenty of drama, emotion, and romance.
I had been waiting for this book to release, so I had quite a lot of expectation- but Ms. Wine didn’t let me down, finishing off the series with a very captivating read.
This is ultimately Grace’s story, and we follow along as she slowly pieces herself back together and tries to move on with her life after the trauma she experienced. Things are not easy, especially with horrible memories haunting her nights and tormenting her days. Things are not easy for her, with lots of obstacles to deal with. So, what happens when the past catches up with her? Read this great story/series to find out.
Ms. Wine has created a complex story, full of interconnected details. The characters are well developed- and the recurring characters from the series make appearances again in this book too.
I was a little sad to finish the series, but Ms. Wine certainly left the best till last, in my eyes!

Thank you, Ms. Wine!
