Let’s start out with the facts, shall we? I’ve never read a Jus Accardo book before. I only requested Rules of Survival from Netgalley because I really liked the cover. I wasn’t expecting anything from this book, and I loved it.To say that I loved Rules of Survival is a bit of an understatement. There is just something about this book that drew me in and made me fall in love with Kayla and Shaun. Thank you, Jus Accardo, thank you.Kayla has never known anything other than staying off the grid. She’s never stayed in one place for long and has always had her mother there with her. But when she’s murdered and all fingers point to Kayla, she’s just running to clear her name now. Shaun is partnered with with a bounty hunter charged to bring Kayla in, but when things go south, and fast, the two are shackled together and fighting for both their lives.Kayla and Shaun are instantly likable. They are young but have a much older depth to them, probably because of how they’ve grown up. The chemistry between the two is palpable and real. I couldn’t help but root for the two. And the best part? There was no insta-love. They both knew there was something tangible between the two but it was definitely lust/interest and not love.I really enjoyed the suspense aspect of Rules of Survival. This is not your average New Adult, and for that it makes me love the book even more. I felt like I was right there with Kayla and Shaun and figuring out everything with them. Yes, some of it was predictable but that’s okay, the ride was thrilling.
