Burned by Sara Shepard

3.5 out of 5 Stars!

 Life isn’t worth living if you’re scared all the time.

Wow, I can't believe that I finally made it to the 12th book in this series and more importantly once I finish this one off I will be up to date with the series. That my friends means that I can continue watching the Pretty Little Liars TV show without confusing myself too much. Although I was surprised to see after all this time that the tv series actually isn't all that similar to the books, same characters and similar story lines but very different in a lot of ways. I have to admit going into this book I thought to myself can I really take much more of this, the same thing over and over again and well it turns out that I can. I loved how in this book there were quite a few characters who were close to those that the girls had wronged. The ending surprised me a little and I can't wait to see what the next book will hold. From the way that it ended I am assuming the series might be ending soon.... maybe... hopefully.

It's not enough that the girls murdered a girl in Jamaica but now they have also covered up a car accident. Hanna was in an accident with a drunk girl named Madison, it was Madison's car but Hanna was driving. Not wanting to take the blame for it she calls the other girls and they move Madison into the drivers seat and leave her there for the paramedics to find. When they moved Madison there was a snapping noise and they can't be sure if it came from the forest area or from Madison's body. The four girls are all getting ready for their school's vacation cruise which is being held in conjunction with other schools. The girls think this is a brilliant time to forget about whatever happened with Madison and the fact that they killed Tabitha. A of course has followed them onto the cruise and their holiday is going to be anything but relaxing.

Spencer is hoping that the cruise will bring her and Princeton's hottie hippy Reefer closer together. Spencer even has a perfect plan in place they will be spending time together while completing a diving course, very romantic. Emily finally told Isaac and her parents about baby Violet and how Emily gave her up for adoption, her parents in return aren't speaking to her at all. Emily has something to look forward to though, within the first few hours of boarding the ship Emily meet's a beautiful girl and we all know how quickly and deeply Emily falls for the pretty girls. Aria and Noel have once again put all their issues behind them and are ready to enjoy the cruise together in a 100% completely honest with each other relationship. Except Noel doesn't know about Aria's growing list of laws she has broken recently. Hanna and Mike are back together but nobody has forgotten about the "stalking" video that A sent out. Hanna is back to the bottom of the popularity list and she hates it but we all know that Hanna always finds a way to bounce back to the top.

The Dead Girls Dance by Rachel Caine

3.5 out of 5 Stars!

Boys. I'd turn gay if they weren't so sexy. 

Any book that was going to follow Sempre had it's work cut out but I think that this book did ok. It was great to have the gang back even if it was a more broken gang then we are used to. I enjoyed the book and the story line and all the characters but there just seemed to be something missing this time. It didn't hold my attention as much as Glass Houses did. It did pick up about half way through though and the ending was pretty great. Can't wait to read the next one in the series.

This book picked up right where Glass Houses finished with Michael dead on the ground and Shane's dad declaring that he is there to take down all of the vampires. This is a major problem considering that the gang have only just been spared their lives provided that there is no more drama with the vamps. Shane's dad is determined though and when he isn't beating up his son he is making plans on just how he is going to rid Morganville of all their vampires. The gang is feeling rather defeated when an old friend comes back and lifts the mood a little. Shane's dad isn't their only problem, a vampire has been found dead and one of their own is being held responsible for it. The gang have two days before one of their own is due to be burned alive and they have no idea where to start.

Sempre by J.M. Darhower

5 out of 5 Stars!

Some things in life only happen once, the memories of them lasting forever. They're moments that alter you, turning you into a person you never thought you'd become, but someone you were always destined to be. There's no magical rewind button in life, no take backs or do-over's to fix things you wish you could change. 

Every now and then you get that odd special book that is unlike anything you have ever read before. It grabs you hard and you feel every emotion while reading it from happiness to despair. This was one of those rare books and it is a book that everyone should know about. I admit I had delayed reading this book simply because the size of it scared the absolute crap out of me. The writing drew you in from the start and although I was a little confused at first it wasn't long before I caught on to what was happening. I had so many emotions and thoughts while reading this but it is so hard to put into words exactly what I felt. I loved the stories that we got of the mafia it was very interesting while also being very disturbing. The highlight of this book though was easily Carmine and Haven. It didn't matter if they were alone or together both of them just pulled you in to the point where you could read about them forever and not mind.

Ten years ago a little servant girl was killed in cold blood as she tried to escape. That girl was killed by Haven's master and the killing happened up close and right in front of Haven. From that day on Haven has always known her place in the world, she is a servant and her role in life is to simply do as she is told and take whatever punishment that may come her way. A day comes where Haven is told by her mum to leave and run, run far away. Haven doesn't get far though and when she wakes she meets Dr Vincent DeMarco who is taking her away to his house where she will cook and clean for him and his two sons, Dominic and Carmine. Although still a servant girl Haven is getting treated much better then she ever has but she knows not to trust it or to trust Dr DeMarco and his sons because things can change in an instant.

Carmine is the troubled son he has just come home from a year away at an all boys school and even if he isn't looking for trouble it will always find him. Carmine loves getting into fights and is a real ladies man, he is also everything his father doesn't want him to be. Carmine isn't sure why this strange girl is all of a sudden in his house and to begin with he really doesn't care. Haven intrigues him though and the more he talks to her in passing the more he believes that maybe just maybe she is one of the only people in the world who could truly understand him.

Past Perfect by Leila Sales

3 out of 5 Stars!

You can't have heartbreak without love 

Past Perfect was a very cute and fun read and I have to say the whole Historical Colonial Village idea definitely had me interested. I felt a bond with Chelsea from the start I mean come on any girl who comes up with the idea to be an ice cream connoisseur is pretty great in my book. I loved all the pranks that the two reenactment villages were playing on each other and it often had me giggling. I liked all of the characters but wasn't really crazy about any of them. This book wasn't a knock your socks off read but it was enjoyable and was one of those books that you can just kick back and relax with.

For the majority of her life Chelsea has always had to spend her summer break working at the Essex Historical Colonial Village and this time she wants to work somewhere cooler. Her best friend Fiona has other ideas though and she thinks that the EHCV would be the perfect place for them to spend their summer break working. Chelsea eventually gives in and prepares for yet another summer at the EHCV. There is one plus side to working there and that is not having to see the boy who broke her heart, Ezra. Then at orientation Chelsea spots a face in the crowd that she knows all too well, Ezra and just like that her summer break has gone from bad to horrifying. 

It's not all bad though that same night Chelsea is kidnapped by their rivals the Cival War Reenactmentland and while she is being held hostage she get's to meet Dan Malkin and there is a lot to like about Dan. The war between the two reenactment villages is stronger then previous years and this is no time to be flirting with the enemy especially if your the Lieutenant. Chelsea's summer is turning out to be a lot funner then she had imagined but how long can she really keep her and Dan a secret especially when the war becomes bloody and brutal.

Lengths by Steph Campbell & Liz Reinhardt

2.5 out of 5 Stars!

Life is too short to waste on bullshit. 

I didn't even know that I had this book on my kindle but hey there it was right down near the bottom. The reviews on this one are very, very mixed and I can understand why. Whit pissed me off, not just a little but a lot. I liked that the story was told from the point of view of both Deo and Whit but I found it hard to identify or even really like either of the characters, something just seemed a little forced about them. I really don't want to do a review of complaints but I also thought the carefree attitude of both Deo's mum and Grandpa were very unrealistic. One of them being that way would have been fine but both being like it plus also Rocko being like it and it was a tad overkill. Besides all my complaints though it was a good enough read and it did keep me interested. It did pick up about half way through and became quite a good read but there always seemed to be that little something missing.

Deo has been given a fantastic birthday present from his mum, he gets to go and have a tattoo done, his choice. When Deo get's to the tattoo place he spots Whit and from the get go there is an attraction there. Whit has her secrets though and she doesn't like to let anyone get too close to her, hence the whole sex buddy relationship that she has going on with Ryan. Whit and Deo start hanging out together though and Deo can feel himself falling in love for the first time. Whit is holding back though and it is affecting their weird friendship/relationship in a very bad way.

Stunning by Sara Shepard

3.5 out of 5 Stars!

It's not fun to keep secrets, but sometimes you have to do it to protect yourself. And to protect people around you. 

Not one of the best books in the series but a great addition to it anyway. So I made the mistake the other day of watching the first 5 episodes of the Pretty Little Liars and now I have confused myself a tiny bit with what is from the show and what is from the books. So that I don't confuse myself any further I figured that I have to knock the next 2 Pretty Little Liar books out and do it quickly cos the show was looking really good. I went into this book with high hopes of course and after the first few pages I was screaming. I mean seriously who the hell just drops a baby off at a house and runs o_O. Once I calmed myself down I read on and before long had fallen back into the world of our 4 Pretty Little Liar's and the mysterious and forever taunting A.

Hanna's dad's campaign is going really well and Kate is back to being nice to her again but something is missing, Mike. Hannah is missing Mike badly but Mike has moved on to a different girl and as much as Hanna tries her plans to win him back are failing. Aria and Noel finally had sex and their relationship is going really well post Klaudia drama. Aria is in the shops one day though and spots Noel's dad and what she see's is a massive secret that will destroy Noel and his family. Emily is trying to move on but isn't handling the fact that not only did she drop her baby off at someone's door but also went back on her word to the woman that she promised her baby too. Emily always thought that her baby would be nearby but she has just discovered that the family she gave her baby to have packed up and moved away and then she runs into Isaac the baby's father. Spencer is finally at Princeton and feels like she really belongs there but A is going to make sure that things don't go to plan for her either.

Glass Houses by Rachel Caine

5 out of 5 Stars

Bite me, chilli boy. 

For someone who used to live off of vampire books I was shocked to realise that it has been ages since I have read one. I have been meaning to get to this series for ages now but was waiting until I got near the end of Pretty Little Liars before starting another long ass series. This book was fantastic and I really enjoyed it, sure I wanted to slap some sense into Claire every now and then but besides that it was really, really good. The other 3 main characters were very interesting and they had me from the start. The world that Rachel Caine has created is so bizarre and wonderful. There wasn't really anything that I didn't like about this book. The characters were great, the writing was great, the action was amazing and that ending, my goodness I am so glad I don't have to wait around for the next book.

Claire is going to college in Morganville, Texas and needless to say things aren't going too well for her. She has so far had all her clothes stolen from the washing machine and thrown into a rubbish chute, got into a slapping match which ended with her getting punched and pushed down the stairs plus all the usual teasing and shoves. It is when she gets threatened by mean girl Monica, source of all of Claire's misery when Claire really starts to feel scared for the first time. Monica means her serious harm and considering she pushed her down the stairs and didn't stop to check if she was alive, Claire isn't sure just how far Monica will go. Scared and all alone Claire decides to look for off campus housing. She thinks she has found the perfect place called Glass House, which has only 3 other occupants Michael, Shane and Eve but that idea is soon squashed by the owner Michael. Michael gives in though and says that Claire can stay their temporarily, a few days only and then she must leave he doesn't have underage girls in his house.

The temporary stay becomes more of a permanent stay and Claire is learning heaps about Morganville. Morganville is a strange place indeed filled with vampires, ghosts, power and a whole lot of creepiness. Against the advice of her new housemates Claire is still going to college and is still having to keep an eye on Monica and her underlings. Claire then makes another enemy, a vampire named Brandon and to make matters worst Monica and her family are under Brandon's protection and work very well together. Now that Claire has two enemies she needs a bodyguard and that lucky fella is Shane. Things keep going wrong though and to save Claire from further harassment and death attempts Shane puts himself on the line which then changes things for everyone.

Something Like Fate by Susane Colasanti

3 out of 5 Stars!

We can’t help who we love. Love isn’t logical, or even our choice. Love chooses us. 

To start with I am not a person who believes in fate or horoscopes, there's no particular reason, I just think it's a load of bolony. We all know this story quite well by now, we see it all the time two girls, the best of friends and both in love with the one guy, it never ends well. I liked Lani she was a very interesting character and I haven't read too many books where the main character is a real greenie. I had one issue with this book and that was the writing, it came off as very youngish and after a while was simply rather annoying, besides that though this really was a good book and I enjoyed it.

Erin and Lani are the best of friends and they are both in love with the same guy, Jason. Jason rightfully belongs to Erin but as much as she tries to Lani just can't stop thinking about Jason and how they should be together. It's a shocker really, Erin and Lani are complete opposites and their taste in guys is completely opposite as well so Lani has no idea how this has happened. It can't be denied though the more time Lani spends with Jason the more she falls for him and he isn't exactly hiding the fact that he likes her as well. They both confess their feelings to each other but it isn't taken any further because nobody wants to see Erin hurt. Erin is going away to camp though for two months and this means that Lani and Jason will be all alone for those two months and that's when things start to get serious.

Wherever Nina Lies by Lynn Weingarten

3.5 out of 5 Stars!

Iced coffee is my crack 

Early on in the book I was all where do I sign up to get me a Sean of my own. Don't get me wrong I love a dark, intense and brooding guy as much as the next girl but sometimes it is nice to take a break from that and have a sweet, cute and dorky guy as well. Then I got over halfway through and Sean, oh deary, why Sean. I love reading young adult mystery thriller books and although they are rarely 5 star books they are always exactly what I need, they are my comfort zone. This book fit into the above perfectly. I was a little angry with Amanda throughout the book. If I was Ellie's friend I wouldn't have given up on her and would never have stopped helping her in her search for her sister but that's probably just because I love a good mystery. I thought that the addition of the pictures were a nice touch as well.

Two years ago Nina disappeared without a trace. Her sister Ellie was left with her mum feeling very confused and devastated. Ellie has never given up hope that she would find her sister again and she only wishes that her mum had have taken the disappearance seriously from the start. Nina was the kind of girl who did whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted and she didn't care what other people thought of her. After two years of trying to find her again and constant disappointment Ellie finally get's a breakthrough. It all starts with a drawing and a phone number, which then leads to a security camera and the guy who dropped off the box with the first clue. That guy is a dud and Ellie doesn't get any info out of him, she does however meet Sean. Although Sean has no information for Ellie he helps her out with solving a clue and before they know it Sean and Ellie are on a road trip to find Nina, first stop Nebraska.

Cover Reveal - Breathless by Brigid Kemmerer

If you haven't read this series yet then I am urging you to go get started on it. From the first book in this series I was hooked and have picked up each of the other books as they have come out. My favourite brother in the series changes with each book that I read. Breathless will be the third novella in this series and is all about Nick. Breathless is due to be released in April 2013.

Too many secrets. Not enough time.

Nick Merrick is supposed to be the level-headed one. The peacemaker. Since it’s just him and his three hotheaded brothers against the world, that’s a survival tactic.

But now he’s got problems even his brothers can’t help him survive.

His so-called girlfriend, Quinn, is going quick as mercury from daring to crazy. Meanwhile, Quinn’s dancer friend Adam is throwing Nick off balance, forcing him to recognize a truth he’d rather shove back into the dark.

He can feel it—-the atmosphere is sizzling. Danger is on the way. But whatever happens next, Nick is starting to find out that sometimes nothing you do can keep the peace.

Hopeless by Colleen Hoover

4 out of 5 Stars!

I'm not going to wish for a perfect life. The things that knock you down in life are tests, forcing you to make a choice between giving in and remaining on the ground or wiping the dirt off and standing up even taller than you did before you were knocked down. I'm choosing to stand taller. I'll probably get kicked down a few more times before this life is through with me, but I can guarantee you I'll never stay on the ground. 

It has been bought to my attention that I must be one of the only people in the booking world that hasn't read a Colleen Hoover book yet. I figured I should probably stop people from harassing me and give one of her books a go, enter Hopeless. This book is everywhere at the moment and the hype surrounding it is unbelievable. I did enjoy this book and from the start I was hooked and totally in love with it. It did get a little repetitive at times though and I did find myself getting distracted easily especially around 60% in. I loved the interactions between Sky and Holder and I loved their mood swings and the way that they would piss each other off. Overall it was a really enjoyable book.

Sky is a very interesting character. She loves making out with guys but never goes any further then that so she has a reputation for being a slut but she isn't really one. Sky was adopted when she was younger but luckily her adoptive mum Karen is amazing and has always been there for her. She has even homeschooled Sky her entire life. This was all fine before but now Sky wants to try a semester at an actual school before she moves on to college. It was planned that Sky would start her first and last semester at school with her best friend since forever Six but those plans changed and now Sky is starting school for the first time and doing it on her own. Its not all bad though she makes friends with another new person on the first day, Breckin. Breckin is fantastic and Sky clicks him with instantly, he is also very gay and very, very funny. Its lucky for Sky that she has made a new friend because her reputation has followed her to the school and the other kids are letting her know all about it with whore jokes galore.

Sky is then at the shops one afternoon when she meets Holder. Everybody loves Holder and Sky can definitely see why. The only problem is that Holder is looking at Sky with so much contempt and Sky has no idea what she could have done to him for him to hate her so much, she doesn't even know him! Once outside Holder tries to introduce himself to Sky and then tries to hit on her. Sky is confused by him at first and then she just gets irritated with him and believes that he has a split personality disorder. From then on Holder is everywhere, jogging with Sky in the morning, around the hallways at school and right in Sky's thoughts always. Their attitudes towards each other change often and mostly because they both have wicked mood swings. It is a very strange friendship/relationship that starts to grow.

Facade by Nyrae Dawn - New Cover and Blurb

It is no secret that I love Nyrae Dawn's books so when I stumbled across this on her blog this morning I just knew I had to share it with everyone.

No one knows who twenty-one year-old Adrian Westfall is behind his façade. After what he’s done, he deserves to live alone with his pain, even if he’d do anything to forget. Anything for a moment of quiet without his past haunting him.

Adrian and Delaney are bound together by tragedy… Only Adrian doesn’t know it.

As their lives intertwine, they find a solace in each other they never knew existed. Laney knows she needs to tell him—to come out from behind her smoke screen, but to say the words could mean losing him.

Two people. Two disguises. True love.

Will it be enough to save them when all secrets are bared?

What I Didn't Say by Keary Taylor

4.5 out of 5 Stars!

Life can be pretty cruel sometimes. 

This is another one of those books that have been sitting on my kindle forever and I finally decided that I should read it. I think I should have read it sooner, my goodness, this book pulled at your heart from the start. I loved both Jake and Sam and found them to be quite refreshing, I could have read about them both for days. I can only imagine what it would have been like for both of them and I think that they both handled their very different situations well. This book wasn't what I was expecting at all it was so much more. I didn't realise that so much of the book would actually be about Sam but it was a good thing and I really enjoyed reading about the both of them.

Jake lives on Orcas Island, a small island with a population of roughly 5,000. He is your typical guy, he plays football, hangs out with his mates and crushes on girls, well actually he just crushes on one girl in particular, Sam. Sam is good looking and she is also very smart, to Jake she is the perfect package. The only problem is that Jake can never seem to get the courage to tell her how he feels. Homecoming night comes around and they are celebrating at a party afterwards. After a few drinks Jake decides that it is time to tell Sam how he really feels. Jake and his two closest friends get in the car drunk to go to Sam and that is when the car accident happens. The last thing Jake remembers before he blacks out is the car spinning, getting air and then the feel of metal meeting skin and blood.

Jake wakes up in the hospital four days later confused but surrounded by his family. He keeps trying to speak, to ask what is going on but every time he tries to talk no sound comes out he only feels pain. When the doctor comes in Jake is given the bad news, his vocal cords were severely damaged in the accident and had to be removed. Jake will never be able to speak again. Once released from hospital Jake has a small break and then it is back to school. He struggles at first but ends out getting by with the help from a special girl, Sam. As Jake and Sam get closer though it becomes obvious that Sam needs Jake just as much as Jake needs Sam.

Ruthless by Sara Shepard

4 out of 5 Stars!

“Whatever baggage you have, use it. Conquer it. Don’t let it stop you.” 

I just can't get enough of this series or any of Sara Shepard's book's for that matter. Sure you could argue that they have gone on too long, are a little immature and sometimes just completely unrealistic but the one thing that you can't deny is that you continuously get sucked in time and time again. Our Pretty Little Liar's are back again and once again they are still getting into trouble, when will these girls learn their lesson. This time though they come back to us as criminals and that was something I never saw coming and of course A is back and knows all about their accidental murder. I'm loving the storylines and loving the addition of new characters. Bring on the next book.

Poor Emily is dealing with so much, she is still dealing with the loss of Ali/Courtney, the loss of her friendship with Chloe after Chloe thought she was sleeping with her dad to get a scholarship and also her whole baby secret. Spencer is feeling very guilty, not only did she nearly go to jail and instead framed her friend and sent her there instead but she also got Zach sent away as well. Add to the mix a new step father and a new step sister and she certainly has her hands full and now she might not even be accepted into Princeton. Aria is back in Rosewood after the disaster ski trip with Noel and the beautiful, big breasted Klaudia and after two weeks of silence Noel has broken up with her, shattering her little heart into pieces. Hanna is feeling lost without her ex-boyfriend Mike and her dad is still running for senator and is looking good to win provided that no scandals about him or his family come out. Hanna has many secrets that could ruin her dad's chances of becoming senator, her past, the murder and more recently her saucy photo's that were taken by a sleazy pretend photographer, or maybe even the fact that she stole 10 thousand dollars to pay off said sleazy photographer.

So Over You by Gwen Hayes

3 out of 5 Stars!

“The devil was his most dangerous when he wasn't being devilish.” 

Ok I have to admit that I didn't go into this expecting much. I am kinda in that spot at the moment where everything I have read lately has been very dark or serious and I needed something light and fluffy to even it out. The only problem was searching through my kindle and my to read shelf all I found was a lot of doom and gloom or angst and then I remembered that I got this book very cheaply ages ago. This book was good but seemed to be missing that extra bit that would have made it a really, really good book. It started off very slowly but about half way through it picked up a little and I really started to get into it.

Layney Logan is neurotic, impatient and one hell of a smart ass, she is also co-chief editor of the struggling school paper. The other co-chief editor is Jimmy Foster and he is also Layney's arch nemesis. The school journalism team are having a meeting to decide which fundraiser they should do to save the school paper and the popular choice is a calendar. Layney doesn't like this idea though because she believes that calendars objectify the people modelling in them. The rest of the journalism team decide that they could do one boy each month from different schools and sporting clubs so that it will be a diversity calendar and will showcase information about each guy not just a pretty picture. Then Jimmy gets the idea that they could do the calendar and get a feature article if Layney goes on twelve dates, one for each guy. This way she can find out all the information that they need for the calendar pages and then just before the release of the calendar they can do the feature article which will be about what girls really look for in a guy.

Kill You Last by Todd Strasser

4 out of 5 Stars

"It's young love. It's passionate, impatient and impetuous." 

Kill You Last is the final book in Todd Strasser's Thrillogy series. This has been quite a good trilogy that I have slowly read over the last two years. I love putting on my detective cap and reading a good mystery and Todd Strasser is yet to disappoint. This book was quite short and constantly had me guessing and changing my mind about who the killer was. I did figure it out just before it happened but at the same time I didn't want to believe it and hoped that I was wrong. While I was reading this I tried to put myself in Shelby's shoes and my god what a horrible thought to have your dad not only a creepy, creep but also the prime suspect in an ongoing investigation plus everything that follows after that. Shelby was definitely a strong character.

Shelby is sitting in the library one day with her friend Roman when she receives a bizarre email saying that she doesn't know what her father has really been up to. Shelby thinks it is a practical joke and leaves it at that. Later, the same day she stops by at her dad's modelling agency to discover the police leaving. Two women have disappeared and both of them had, had photo's taken at the agency. Shelby's best friend Roman is a real crime buff and when they find out the next day that now three women have gone missing Roman is very, very interested. Unfortunately so is everyone at Shelby's school plus the media. With the three missing girls and her dad all over the news other stories are coming up in the media, stories of a scam and also of him taking advantage of young girls. It get's to the point where Shelby doesn't know what to believe and just who she can trust.

The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden by Jessica Sorensen

4 out of 5 Stars!

“It's amazing how the things you remember forever are the things you'd rather forget and the things you desperately want to grasp onto seem to slip away like sand in the wind.” 

Holy guacamole!! I just finished this book and I was reading it at work naughty I know but that's not the worst part. I got to the end of the book and that ending, my goodness that ending I nearly threw my computer screen. I was trying to hold off on reading this book until March but I couldn't wait any longer and besides what better book was there to start off the new year then this one. At least I was warned beforehand about that ending. Jessica Sorensen has amazed me I went from not knowing who she was to buying this book the second it was released cos I just had to have it. Her character's are always so perfect and the way that she tells the story grips you and helps you block out everything else that is happening in the world. I didn't want this book to end I wanted it to go on forever. I need the next book in this series now, like yesterday right now.

Callie hides herself away from the world and she has a very good reason for this. When she was younger someone betrayed her trust and abused her. Six years later and that day still haunts her. She is at a party collecting her brother one night when she witnesses Kayden getting beaten up by his father, fearing that Kayden's dad is going to kill him she jump's in the way and Kayden's father backs off. Callie has just saved Kayden's life and she can see from his scars that this isn't the first time he has been beaten by his father. Kayden's scars are on the outside, Callie's are on the inside. Callie is finally going away to college and there she meets a great guy named Seth who is very similar to her and who has also had a very rough life. One day while walking around the school with Seth, Callie gets rammed into by a guy chasing a ball, that guy is Kayden and he doesn't even recognise her. Not long after Kayden realises that it was Callie that he ran into and he needs to find her again to talk to her, to thank her. With a little help from Seth, Callie and Kayden hang out and the rest well the rest is an awesome ride which you just have to read about.
