Re: Honor II – Kellz Kimberly

Dear Readers,
I’m not even going to pretend I finished this book gracefully.
I didn’t.
I slammed my Kindle down so fast because what in the entire hell was that, Kellz? They did not have to do my boy like that. I’m still sitting here trying to process it, and honestly… I’m not okay. (Cue the tissue box)
Honor II didn’t just end—it left a void. The kind that lingers. The kind that makes you question everything you just read. I kept stopping, rereading, asking myself: Did that really just happen? Did he really say that? Did she really do that? It was constant whiplash in the best and worst way.
And Honor…
Honor will NEVER be forgotten.
Watching him from the beginning—through Wolfe and Chosyn’s story, into River and Crown’s, and now here—there’s a weight to him that never really lets up. His past wasn’t just sad, it was disturbing. Abusive. Heavy in a way that shapes everything he does. And you see it in how he loves, how he protects, how he needs the family he built with Navy, Crown, and Wolfe. That kind of loyalty doesn’t come from nothing. It comes from surviving things that should have broken you.
But Navy… yeah, I struggled with her.
Her insecurity, the constant emotional decisions, the guilt she carried but never fully owned. It made her hard to stand behind. And that’s what got me. As the daughter of the head of the Mancinelli Mafia, I expected more awareness. More control. Instead, she moved off emotion, off impulse, and the consequences felt inevitable. Still… I can’t fully blame her. None of them were forced. Every choice made was their own.
And Chosyn…
Some of her choices didn’t sit right either. Loyalty felt blurred at times. But again—these are grown people making real, messy decisions. That’s what made it hit harder. There were no clean hands here.
Choyce, though… she surprised me.
Her evolution from Honor I to Honor II gave just enough to make you lean in. You either loved her or you loved to question her. Watching her navigate the aftermath of Lucian’s abuse—and everything tied to Honor… yeah, that part lingers. I’m still unpacking it.
What I did love—deeply—was the healing.
Seeing Crown, Wolfe, and Honor in therapy with Dr. Lockhart felt real. It wasn’t surface-level. It touched on trauma bonding, childhood wounds, grief—the kind of stuff that doesn’t just disappear because you want it to.
And that line…
“When someone meets you at your lowest, they can freeze you there—even if they don’t mean to.”
That stayed with me.
Because it’s true. I’ve lived that. People fall in love with your broken pieces. They learn that version of you so well that when you start to heal, it confuses them. Sometimes they don’t even realize they’re holding you in a place you’ve outgrown.
That hit deeper than I expected.
This entire series (Every Story) served a purpose. You don’t just read it, you experience it. You grow attached. You pick sides. You feel love, anger, disappointment… sometimes all at once.
And Honor II?
It was a finale I didn’t see coming.
It made me love harder. It made me judge harder. It made me sit with things I didn’t want to sit with.
At its core, this book is a constant pull between being a choice and being chosen. Between survival and letting go. Between holding on to life… and realizing that sometimes, peace doesn’t come the way you want it to.
And that’s the part I’m still stuck on.
Because what do you do when surviving isn’t the same as living?
Yeah… I’m still thinking about that.
From Love,
