Allison Sanders is in high school and is intrigued by the new boy in her class, Lucas Montgomery. But when her much older brother, Doug, begins coming home and questioning her about Lucas she gets her guard up.
Soon Lucas explains to Allison a bit about himself and why Doug is after him. Allison must make a choice and decide if she believes Doug or Lucas and must help the one she believes. Along with her best friends Ashley and Nate can Allie keep those she loves safe and figure out who the leak is?
This was a super interesting book with lots of mystery to keep you trying to find everything out and discovering what Doug was after.
I liked Allison for the most part. I didn't really like what happened with her and Josh but I understood to a certain degree why she did it to get pressure off of her. Allison was stuck between her family and Lucas, knowing that Doug was a little evil and had always been to her made the decision pretty easy for her. She was smart but to a certain degree was initially naive to how far Doug would go.
I really liked Lucas but it took me a long time to really put the pieces of him together. The age thing totally threw me but I think I have finally gotten it. He was super smart and had to life a life on the run with never being able to stay in the same place for very long due to people like Doug going after him. I felt bad for his family as well as their whole life had to change as well.
I liked Allison's friendship with both Nate and Ashley and how Nate would help Lucas and Allison with anything they needed. I was kind of worried about Nate but deep in my heart I thought he was good.
The twist at the end totally threw me and I definitely wasn't expecting that! I knew why Allison did what she did in order to keep Lucas safe!
Great beginning to the series!

A big thank you to Jay at Choosy Bookworm and Nancy Pennick for providing a free copy of this book, for an honest review.
When I first started reading this book I wasn't sure I was going to like it. I've never read a book before where I knew I was writing a review at the end so I think I was over analysing it a bit.
This book, however, is very easy to like. By chapter two I was engrossed and I read it all in one sitting.
I enjoyed Nancy's writing style and the fast paced nature of the story and really liked the characters. I'm not going to talk about the story itself so I don't spoil it for other readers but when the book ended I was glad I'd read it and was hoping for a sequel.
I'm glad I've been introduced to Nancy Pennick's writing and will definately be reading some of her other books.
