Thia Finn does it AGAIN!! Before the Second Show is another rocking romance. So beautifully written with a story that will draw you in and bring out all the feels.

I wish I could continue with talking about the book but if I do you won’t get to experience the ups, down, questions and answers that this book has. Finn has such a way of making you feel deeply to her characters, of making you hate the fact that reality exists when you have to put down the book. She will make you beg for the next book and the next. Her skills as an author are astounding. Thia Finn brings the heat and the heart in a way that will stay with you long after the book ends.
