But Porter carefully crafts a story that checks all the boxes and leaves us on a high that shows just how committed and protective she is of her characters. Knowing the ultimate outcome might deter some readers from getting the 'before' about an unsettled figure. The richness of Porter's words is undeniable and there is no way a reader wouldn't want to know more about these men and the lives they have led since Wreck showed them the way. This prequel brought all the warmth and yes, even the heartache, back to me once more. To say I want to go back and re-read the entire series is an understatement. Getting glimpses of a young Dig and Boner and even Jump, made me all kinds of happy. It's almost poetic as Porter shows us the sweet in the friendships formed between Miller and the rest of the Jacks I have come to know and love. With answers to the whys of how this sometimes ruthless group of men found their footing, it all comes full circle as Miller enters into the fold all the while knowing (from all the books before this one) his ultimate part in the future of the Jacks. Past mistakes no longer need to matter and the loyalty he finds in this motley crew ultimately gives him the tools to find his last remaining family member in his baby brother, Miller. But what stands out for me most are the struggles Wreck must face and ultimate strength he gleans from being a part of a group of men he proudly calls his brothers. A true shining moment in both of their troubled lives. And it is glorious and full of longing and a tenderness neither had ever known. Yes, we get the passionate love between Wreck and his wildflower in Isi as bittersweet as that was. The pioneer of sorts who brought together the Jacks of Meager and made it the club it was always destined to be as their Road Captain and true soul of the group. There has always been a bit of a curiosity where Wreck Tallin was concerned. Those of us who are true Meager aficionados, who have been there from the very start, falling for Dig and his Grace and all of those who would follow through the hallowed halls of the One-Eyed Jacks clubhouse. To me, it reads like a love letter to Porter's faithful. Cat Porter brought her A-game to this prequel to the Lock & Key series and it's everything I could have asked for and so much more.
