Synopsis:
Sometimes discovering the truth can leave you more hopeless than believing the lies… That’s what seventeen-year-old Sky realizes after she meets Dean Holder. A guy with a reputation that rivals her own and an uncanny ability to invoke feelings in her she’s never had before. He terrifies her and captivates her all in the span of one encounter, and something about the way he makes her feel sparks buried memories from a past she wishes could just stay buried. Sky struggles to keep him at a distance knowing he’s nothing but trouble, but Holder insists on learning everything about her. After finally caving to his unwavering pursuit, Sky soon finds that Holder isn’t at all who he’s been claiming to be. When the secrets he’s been keeping are finally revealed, every single facet of Sky’s life will change forever.
Review by Lissa
I'm not sure how I feel about this story. I didn't love it and didn't really enjoy it. It was good but for some reason made me uncomfortable.
Sky is a seventeen year old but not your average teenager. She doesn't have all the technology one would have but that's because her mom doesn't believe it. She has her best friend Six whose pretty hilarious. She hasn't really had a connection to any of the boys in her life. Except when Holder comes a long.
Now, this novel turned into a direction I didn't expect. The author usually has a twist of some kind, a little mystery. It's not at all that I expected. This is the first one I read of hers I didn't really love.
