Loved it

I love all the Middle Falls books!! Thank you Mr. Inman for these great stories. My favorite character is definitely Michael Hollister.

What a great way to wrap up a great story

This was such a fantastic little sidebar to the Middle Falls series. It answers a few questions and despite some sad moments, was a very satisfying conclusion to Max's story.

Another good one!

This is a very heartfelt short story and sure to please any fan of the Middle Falls series.

Michael Hollister reprise...

For all that this book is labeled Max Hartfield, it is told from the POV of Michael Hollister. It was really nice getting a reprise--since not only was he probably my favorite Middle Falls book, but he is also one of the few that we never got to see him past his twenties. We left him happily ensconced as the heir to Hartfield Academy, and didn't get to see him cycle his way to the end.

Here, the focus is on Max, but it's really a buddy story about two brothers of the heart: Max & Michael. It is a heartfelt capstone to Michael's story, and the ending especially tugs on the heartstrings.

Waiting for Book 15

I’ve now completed all 14.5 books and look forward to books 15 & 16 as promised by the author. I want to thank Shawn Inmon for many hours of enjoyment and also a spiritual awakening as to what may come next for all of us.

MAX HARTFIELD

I love all these books and what Shawn has to say after each one. I liked the ending sentence that Max said "cause Michael still needed me". Everyone needs a second chance in life.

A good quick short story for fans of Michael Hollister

This short story is a good quicky but you should be familiar with the series or at least the story of Michael Hollister.
Thanks

An absolutely beautiful story

I didn’t want it to end! I’m so happy I got a chance to re-visit my favorite characters, Michael and Max. The story was perfectly written and the narrator was excellent.

Amazing :)

Michael is my fav character to at first hate, then painfully grow to love :) it’s amazing how an author can Thales the same idea of time looping and yet reinvent it every time!! Bravo.

Time Travel done right!

All these books are exceptionally heart touching and reaches deep into my soul. Michael was my least favorite character and I seriously thought about not reading the second book in this series bc he was a serial killer after all, but the first book was so incredibly well written, world building and character driven that I couldn't let myself miss out on something that had so much potential. And boy am I glad I "forced" myself to read Michael's story of redemption. He won my heart and introduced me to Max, a completely selfless unconditional loving human. I do have to pace myself on reading the next book in the series as I will cry with every single book bc the characters always touch my heart, either in a good way or a sad way. But all in all, they are beautifully written and I enjoy every minute of each book.
