Stephanie’s 3 Star Review:
I really did myself a disservice with this book. I have not read the other books in this series, though I do have a few on my kindle. I think having the back story of these two characters would have made the story much better for me. This book can be read as a stand alone but I think to get the group dynamic you need to read the others first.
It already seems to their friends that cooper & Jaylinn have a more than friendship relationship. They do kiss each other and fool around but they’ve never taken it all the way and they’ve not said “I love you” before. They have a strong friendship and Jaylinn feels very safe and comfortable with Cooper. She wants more with him. She wants the relationship the take it all the way kind. Cooper doesn’t feel like he is worth Jaylinn though and constantly holds them back.
Personally I thought he was being a baby about the whole thing. Yes he had rescued her from an event in her life which would have been extremely horrible if he didn’t show up when he did. Yet he blamed himself for leaving her alone at a party and having his own good time. I get where he’s coming from though….it is disconcerting that you brought a friend with you and you found her in trouble she couldn’t get herself out of because she’d been drugged. It stays with you. That’s what counseling is for and the need to talk to someone else even though you promised to keep it between you and the victim. That’s not possible. Unless you’re made of iron I don’t see it not eating someone up from the inside out. Something that horrible needs to be talked about and worked out.
Eventually though they both cave and share the story with another person. “Watching” the transformation between the characters is great. Cooper finally came to his senses. But it might be too late. Looks like Jaylinn’s moved on like he asked her to…would that be possible?
I was given a copy of this book for an honest review.
Excerpt:
“Yo man, have you seen Jay?” I ask Eli who came to the party with us. He shakes his head, “Last I saw she was sitting on the couch over there with Kevin.”
My stomach drops. Kevin’s the campus drug dealer. He used to be a tight end for the football team in our freshman year at college but was kicked off the team after drugs were found in his dorm. He’s from New Jersey too, but he lived up north and actually went to high school with Eli in Hoboken. Eli said he used to be really popular until he started hanging out with the wrong crowd.
I drop my arm from around Courtney, the girl I was planning on taking home, and go to try and find Jaylinn. Fuck, I knew I shouldn’t have brought her with me but I couldn’t tell her no. All that girl has to do is bat her eye lashes
and I’d cave.
and I’d cave.
I search the whole downstairs of the frat house for her and Kevin but they are nowhere to be seen. Panic starts to set in, chilling me to the bone. I race up the stairs, three on the right, three on the left and one straight back. The first door opens and some guy is standing there that I don’t recognize, pulling a shirt over his head. I check the bed to make sure Jaylinn isn’t there. I do this to the next five doors; all were opened and occupied but Jaylinn wasn’t in any of them. I get to the last door on the left; it’s dark so I reach around the wall for a light switch. I flick it on and the room is empty.
“Where the fuck is she?” I roar.
I slam the door shut and stamp to the last door. My heart rate spikes causing a swooshing sound in my ears, my body shakes with rage. I turn the door knob, it’s locked. I bang on it, “Jaylinn,” Nothing, complete silence.
Something isn’t right. My stomach knots and I try banging on the door a few times, hoping someone is just passed out and can’t hear me. After a minute I can’t take it anymore and I ram my shoulder into the door. Once, twice, and
finally it gives way.
finally it gives way.
My heart stops, I can’t breathe and my vision blurs.
