By now all of you who read this blog know I love Debra Anastasia. Not only do I love Debra as a person, but I absolutely love her work. I loved Crushed Seraphim, and Bittersweet Seraphim. As much as I loved those two books, I loved 2011's Poughkeepsie even more. While I love Debra and her work, sometimes that love kind of scares me a little. I get worried before I open up one of her books that I'm not going to love it or that it might be a let down because of how much I loved the last one. 
 Yeah, that fear was kind of unfounded once again because Return to Poughkeepsie is freaking amazing. It was so amazing that I don't even know what to say. 
 I mean I've never had trouble writing a review, but I'm honestly having trouble because all I want to do is tell you what happens in the book, but I can't. I will tell you this though, you can take everything I felt for Poughkeepsie and multiply it by 1000 and that is what I feel for Return to Poughkeepsie. The connections between lovers and family that were explored in book one are just amplified in book two. The dynamic between Beckett and Eve is just so freaking wow that while at times it is sad, it is still so freaking beautiful. 
 What I really love is that while we get all of our old characters back, we get a host of new ones who fit seamlessly right into the story. Return to Poughkeepsie gives us new characters to love, new characters to hate, new opportunities to laugh and new opportunities to cry, and even sometimes rage. Through it all you are left wondering just how Debra Anastasia manages to deliver another awesome tale once again. Return to Poughkeepsie is equally moving and hilarious, which has become a hallmark of Debra Anastasia's work to date. 
 Oh and let me just close by saying Beckett Taylor FTW!
