So that happened. And I was HOOKED!! 
From the moment we met Sloan I fell in love with her! She was brave yet vulnerable! I love the connection she found in Carter/Luke and how thag was portrayed! I love how we also got to see Asa’s perspective of things. The one thing I didn’t enjoy was the use of the mental illness. To pretend to have schizophrenia as a get out clause for your crimes is not okay. However I did enjoy seeing the chaotic side of Asa. 

Love is not found. It finds. 

This story was honestly addicting, angsty, and so damn stressful I just couldn’t put the book down! I’m trying not to say too much about the book as YOU NEED TO READ THIS!!! The perfect book if you like romance with a sprinkle of darkness. 

Trains and buses stole my shoes and now I have to eat raw squid.

Colleen always makes the best stories. This book hit home for me with the situation I am currently going through but it was good to see it all work out in the end. I enjoyed this book very much and read in a few days.

Was expecting something similar to verity but it just didn’t have the same effect. The storyline is very good tho and will keep you reading.

I thought this book was slow at the beginning and I was trying really hard to like it despite the simple writing style and my bias toward the author. I am happy to say that halfway through the book, the story took a wild turn and carried me through until the very end with unexpected twists and turns! I finished this book so fast and the only reason I rated it less than 5 stars is because of the slow start. I also didn’t like how fast the two main characters “fell in love”. Literally it was like a week or two. They just met! Other than that, it was amazing and I would recommend to anyone that likes thrillers.

OMG !!! Can I just say how good this book is. Yes it is very very good from my pov, but please please look up the trigger warnings for this book. It is very emotional and the characters are so loveable. I really enjoyed this book and once I was reading I could not put it down. The plot and the characters are just amazing and if you are able to read this book please do. I think it shows alot on how people who do these things to other people can be so manipulative and just straight up mean towards people they '' love ''. This book really opened my eyes at how some relationships may seem all well and good on the outside but they are truely flawed and messed up on the inside.
I have given this book 5 stars because it was a good read for me and I did learn alot from it. I will reccommened this to whoever is able to read it and I would defiantely read this book again.
