I never know where the story is headed when reading a work of B.L. Brunnemer, all I actually know is that she never leads the reader in the wrong direction. And the same held true throughout this novel. Once again I was wowed by just how vivid Brunnemer created her story, characters, and everything in between. I fell in love with this series during the first novel, How to Live With the Dead, and have only fallen more deeply with every novel after.
In this novel there is definitely more development between the characters and their relationships. The bonds grew tighter as I fell more in love with all of Lexie's best guys. How could any normal person choose between Miles and Zeke and Ash and Ethan and Isaac and even some other guys outside the main group. I mean, we all kind of want a friend like Jake right? But I mean, these characters were crafted so well that even with all of their differences, I still want her to end with every single one of them. I love their relationships and bonds, and how each action they take is for the best of the group and each other. I can't help get caught up in this series because these characters are so amazing and I love how the author created their stories to compliment each other and create a character that best suites Lexie and her past.
You really can't go wrong with this series because every moment was crafted to surprise the reader and lead the story in a direction that's unexpected and yet better than I could have ever imagined. I am completely obsessed with this series and I have no idea what I'm going to do while waiting for the next novel to be released. This series has seriously affected how I see and read other novels and trying to find one that matches the mastery of this one and hits all of those key points will definitely be a challenge!
So here's hoping that the next book magically releases within the next 24 hours!! <3 <3

Maybe I'm feeling 17 again?
I know these characters are only supposed to be 17, but they don't seem like it. So, I'm pretending they're older or that I'm their age and have lost myself in the story completely.
I love Lexie. She's so perfectly blended in sassy snark and gentleness. I love that she swears all the time (like me).
The supernatural aspect of the story is kind of in the background, though I imagine these first books are more about building the history and relationships between Lexie and the guys, and then will get more spooky? Who knows, but I'm still enjoying myself and devouring them. I'm loving the slow burn. Now I'm off to read book 4!
