I loved the characters in this book! Loved the way Phoenix was shown as vulnerable but able to gather strength and even fight back when necessary. What an intriguing tale of childhood friends shaped by traumatic events in their shared past, who years later meet again, changed in ways that influence their interactions: Phoenix, out to live a rewarding new life Logan, out for retribution. This is the kind of story that grabs your attention from the first word, relentlessly capturing you until you unwittingly arrive to the end, dying to read the next release! I just hope is being truthful and not telling her what she needs to hear so he can turn on her.

He had better grovel like his life depends on it. He will know exactly what she went through. She might be down right now, but she will get her time to shine. His has hated her for over 3 years so why not try to turn everyone against her.

Some succeed, but others rally around her. So instead he tries to make her life worse by trying to get the students at his school (her new school) to turn on her. Why are boys so stupid sometimes! He refused to ask the right questions that Phoenix would answer. With the help of his 3 best friends, he tries to do just that. He wants her back because then he seek revenge and she'll be close and not able to hide from him. He wants her to break for all the hurt he and his family has gone through. Back to her once upon a time best friend. She must leave her home, her friends, her dance studio and go the last place she'd ever choose to go.īack to the family who helped start her own little hell. With her father in prison and now her mother gone. It's where she finds herself and is happy.

She can let all her feelings flow through her movements. The author pulled at heart strings for sure. My heart hurt for what Phoenix went through at the start of the book. The story kept me engaged and I had a fondest for most of the people in the book. This book wasn't very dark (imo, but some of the story could be triggering for some. Overall a good read and I'm anticipating that I'll enjoy book 2 ever more so! Glad I don't have to wait too long for it because I'm dying to see how the author is going to play out the plot with the characters.
