I can’t begin to tell you how much I love seeing characters like this in stories. Luna & Theo stole the largest chunk of my heart, though.

I thought it was well done, especially with the age gap between the two. Granted, there’s a little more than meets the eye with her, but she is definitely still her age and needed to showcase that. If I’m being honest, though, this is simply a tribute to writing an accurate character, as teenagers coming into adulthood are quite often acting EXACTLY as Edie did. Because she was younger, I did get a little annoyed at her several times. He truly did allow himself to become the villain in many ways, and this thrilled me! I don’t like to get too dark (at least not often), but if a character is broken they are soooo much better to me.Įdie, also, wasn’t what I was expecting. There were times I wasn’t sure she was even going to be able to wrap up the story because there were just so many loose ends! I enjoyed seeing a little intrigue amongst all the love story, and was pleased to see that this Hothole was a little darker. There were so many angles where things were happening, that with each page turn it seemed to tangle the web even more. Buuuuuut, I happen to ALSO be in love with Trent ❤ If you’ve read my review for Ruckus, you’ll note I said that I was totally in love with Dean. As I was introduced to grown-up Trent, woooooo! *heart eyes* His little girl *swoons* Geesh, I was hooked at the exact moment her Mom left (Total, absolute witch of a woman!). He was involved with the Hotholes, for sure, but he always seemed to be the one with a goal that existed outside the existence the other boys were forging for themselves. “I always kept the door to my closet a little ajar as a kid to make sure it could come out in case it wanted to play.”‘ The villain was just damaged and misunderstood, and the monster …” I leaned on my tiptoes, biting the tip of his ear, just barely reaching his impossible height. The apple always looked shinier because I knew it could destroy me. I always enjoyed the broken in the fairy tales better. The poisonous apple, the flame-breathing monster.” “Good. “‘I should warn you, Edie, I’m not the prince in this fairy tale. But a scandal is what we’re going to give them.

The writing isn’t just on the wall, it’s inked on my soul.Ī scandal is the last thing my family needs. Trent Rexroth is going to break my heart.

I’m just a kid to him and his enemy’s daughter.Īnd I am…feeling. He’s a single dad and my father’s business partner. When he does, my stomach flips and my world tilts on its axis. When he does, his words aren’t meant for me. Hard, cold and calculated, he rarely speaks.
