Make sure you have tissues nearby while reading this book, you're going to need them for the emotional roller coaster you'll be taken on.
From the False Morality blurb:
Foxx Honeywell here and holding on. You all know where we left off. I suppose I always knew that life often has moments—painful moments—that have you questioning every choice you've made that led up to it. Questioning if you had done something a little different, moved just a bit faster, delayed a little less, would the outcome have changed. I’m here to tell you, those questions are bloody pointless! The only question that matters is: how are you going to make it right?!
Well, you know me, I’m sure as hell not going to forget or forgive, and Harlow would laugh at even the suggestion. So, with every fiber of my being, I say, bring on the bloodshed!
Author Note: False Morality is the fifth book in the MM paranormal romance series, The Unwilling Adventures of Harlow & Foxx, a series that is meant to be read in order. Please see inside or my website for content warnings.
Angel's review:
I've been eagerly waiting for this book to come out and while at this point I'm used to Shelby cliffhangers, the way the previous book left off had me absolutely gobsmacked. I NEEDED to know what happened and if everyone was okay. And... I definitely got those answers I was looking for in this book.. I don't want to spoil anything but I will say this.. Shelby, how could you?? 😭😭
I knew going into this that this book in particular was going to be more emotionally charged than the previous books, however, I was NOT ready for all of the emotional turmoil that was involved. My heart was breaking for Fox, Harlow, Tony, Iggy, and Santiago the whole time I was reading this. And of course it broke for a certain handler too but for a different reason.
Even though these characters are grieving and are sad and also angry, I was so proud too see Foxx and Harlow communicating honestly and leaning on one another. And!! Harlow discovers that he isn't as emotionless as he once believed, he learns that he does care for people and can miss them, he just feels those things in his own unique way. I personally really liked getting even more of a personal insight into how Harlow feels certain things in his own way, and doesn't feel other emotions at all. It's interesting to me. Foxx is usually a bubbly ball of sunshine and while he is still that in this story too, it's more dulled because of all that's happening. (Understandabley so) It was heartbreaking to watch his sunshine-y personality dim.
As I briefly mentioned above, Fox and Harlow's relationship developed even further and grew a deeper and stronger connection in this book. I enjoyed seeing them getting more comfortable with each other, opening up more, leaning on each other, and I honestly just adored seeing them be themselves with one another. It made my little heart happy to actually see them grow more!
In the previous stories the name Gavin was mentioned but there was never much more information given than just his name. That changes in this story! We get to finally 'meet' Gavin, and I have to say I absolutely adore him!! He clearly loves Harlow and truly views him as his older brother which is just so sweet. Even if Harlow disagrees. Gavin's interactions with Foxx are priceless! Those two together will have you laughing out loud in no time.
As for the overarching plot, we finally get to see them find Maverick and take him down once and for all. Along the way to finding him though they discover more experiments, and a huge secret that Maverick's been hiding. I liked how the conflict wasn't resolved right away, they took their time dismantling the despicable man's operations before they found and took him down. If you don't like detailed gory scenes, then you might just want to skim over the fighting scenes... They can get pretty gruesome...but are really well written!
Shelby has once again hit it out of the park with this one and I'm really looking forward to not only Iggy's story, but I'm also eager to find out what exactly happens next... Especially with the way this book ended, and yes, this too ends on a cliffhanger.. I want to know what's in store for Iggy after everything he went through and how his relationship with a certain wolf will develop...
If you don't know, these books are NOT standalones, you have to read the previous books in order to understand everything that's happened and what's currently going on. So, if you're interested in reading this book, you have to go read the previous books first. I promise you, you won't be disappointed!
