Friends to the End

Publisher: Gallery Books

Release Date: February 11, 2019

Genre: Clean Romance

When Andy’s baby sister Trish gets stranded at the family cabin during a massive blizzard, he calls upon his best friends—the Magnificent Eight—to go to his sister’s rescue.

Andy knows that several members of the Eight will drop everything to help, and they’re the perfect solution because the Amish aren’t hindered by stalled cars—they can travel just fine in their buggies.

But when Logan, Trish’s secret crush, is the first to volunteer to save her, she can’t help but worry that, despite the freezing temperatures, being alone with Logan might mean that things heat up pretty fast.

My Review ♥️

Friends to the End is a prequel to the Walnut Creek series from Shelley Shepard Gray and after reading it I am SO excited for this series! You learn about the creation of the "Magnificent Eight" and are able to meet several of its members, including Andy, Logan, and Andy's younger sister, Tricia, though Tricia isn't technically apart of the Eight.

Since the creation of the Eight, Tricia has been crushing hard on Logan, but falling for him is not that simple. There are several members of the Eight that are Amish and Logan is one of them. Tricia is not. After having a rough time at college, Tricia escapes to the family cabin deep in the woods, and while there is caught in the middle of a record-breaking snow storm while her brother and parents are on vacation in Florida. Scared and unsure of what to do Tricia calls her brother out of desperation. Unable to leave Florida Andy has no choice but to call upon the help of the Eight, namely Logan.

Friends to the End is the rescue mission of poor Tricia and the prequel is sweet, well-written, and an absolute joy to read. It encourages and excites me about the direction of this wonderful new series and the path it might take. Admirable characterization and charming descriptions pull you right into that snow-covered cabin, making the story truly come alive! Simply delightful!
