This is her chance for a new beginning, but secrets start being revealed and Taryn learns her new life has some ties to her old one, ties that she’s not happy about. Her new family might not have been the lucky break she thought she had.
**TEASER**
Then he nodded. “Congratulations.”
“On what?”
“You earned their respect.”
I snorted. “I don’t care.”
“I know.” A smile teased at the corners of his lips. “They saw that too and because of that, they fear you now.”
**EXCERPT**
“I may be an asshole, but I’m an asshole you can trust.” He smirked as he reached behind him and then placed a cold bottle in my hand. “I promise.” He took my other hand and led me back downstairs.
Maybe it wasn’t a great decision, but I gave in. The fight was always in me to survive and for once, I didn’t want to fight. I wanted to be watched over. If he volunteered for that position, so be it. Brian never watched over me. I watched over him and Jace had rarely been around.
When he sat on the couch, I curled up next to him and enjoyed my place among his group of friends. As the morning and afternoon passed by, I heard and saw the respect they had for Tray. They listened when he spoke. Everyone turned to him and no one ignored him. They genuinely liked him.
People had never genuinely liked Brian or Jace. Jace was feared. He was respected, but I didn’t know if anyone in his life liked him. It was the opposite for Brian. He was tolerated. He was a hothead. No one knew when he would explode and so he earned a reputation as being unpredictable. He was met with caution wherever he went.
It was an alien feeling, watching this different world unfold before me.
I liked it.
Laura’s Review
This is one of those books where I thought I knew what was going to happen but I was so wrong. There were so many twists and turns in this story that I was didn’t want to put it down so that I could see what else was going to happen. This book was emotional there was sadness and loss, love, anger, laughter. I was hooked on the characters because of how complex Tijan made them. It felt like as the story went on you were either going layer by layer deeper into what made a character tick or you where peeling away layer by layer secrets and lies to find out who a character was. There were also many layers to the story. I don’t want to give the story away so get it and read it today, It was REALLY good!
Lori’s Review
Wow! This book was amazing! It is definitely a book you need to one click! The story is full of twist and turns and you never knew what was going to happen next. The characters are complex and the entire book is full of surprises. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and leaves with a completely different outcome then what you were thinking. Tijan’s books are all amazing! This book is no different! I read thins book in one sitting and could not put it down.
Tijan started writing later in life, after she had already graduated college with a different direction in mind and a different degree under her belt. Hitting the brakes on that path, she taught herself how to write a good book and began posting at sites such as Fictionpress, along with Wattpad. After receiving such encouraging messages from readers, she self-published Fallen Crest High and has continued throughout the year. She continues to keep writing NA books!Connect with the author:
