I got this one for review a while back and I was anxious to read it. I've heard good things about it and I enjoy Bolton's YA Paranormal series, so I was hoping I'd like this one too. And I did. Quite a bit.Gabby. I liked her. She's a strong character. She's dealt with a lot in life and I had sympathy for her. Especially, the more I got to know her and her story. She had to deal with the loss of her mother and her brother leaving all at the same time. I can imagine how confusing and hurtful that would be for a twelve year old girl. And how alone she must have felt. Now, she's an adult, but still copes with that loss. Of course there is more to Gabby's story, but I can't really say what. Which brings me to Jason.I really, really, liked Jason. He's hot, a bit rugged and he's good with his hands. He builds motorcycles and this is how he and Gabby meet.  There is instant attraction between the two and a spark that neither one can deny. But, they don't jump into a relationship. They take time to get to know each other. Once they got together, it was pretty darn great. They simply enjoy each other. They have similar interests and again, their chemistry is great.Then we get to the good stuff. Once I learned more about Jason's past, I started to put the puzzle pieces together. While a bit heartbreaking to read, I enjoyed seeing how the story was going to play out. It was emotional and kept me burning through the pages to see how it was going to end. And, I was right in my assumption, but their story isn't over. I think they still have some things to work through.Overall, I really liked it. It was a slow burn type of book for me, so I wasn't sure where I was going to end up in my rating. But the ending...kept me on my toes and anxious for more! I'll definitely be reading the next book, because Bolton throws in another twist right at the end, which was totally unexpected! I'd definitely recommend this one. Give it a try!
