Push was an addictive and shocking romance.  It was all kinds of wrong and I’m still not sure how I want it all to turn out, part of me wants a HEA if that’s even possible. Part of me is screaming RUN!  Run far and run fast!Emma is fresh out of college and starting a promising career as an engineer in a new town.  Far away from her evil stepfather and the family forever changed by his existence.  This is where she meets David, the calm, controlled and cocky apartment manager and maintenance guy. Emma’s kitchen is destroyed so he immediately sets about fixing it, and in the process these two quickly fall for each other.It’s no secret from the reader that David has a questionable and mysterious past with girlfriends. All six of them have disappeared, but this is not known to Emma. As their relationship progresses and intensifies we are treated to short chapters detailing exactly what happened to each girlfriend in their POV and it is chilling!  Neither David nor Emma is what I would call well-adjusted or stable, but they seem to be perfectly matched. They’re both a little lot crazy, but they have a lot of reasons to be that way.Emma’s family life was normal until her father dies and her mother marries Michael, a completely horrible man, to ensure the family’s financial stability.  His influence on the family is appalling.  I wanted to slap and choke her mother and brothers for allowing Michael’s mistreatment, and other things to happen!  Emma had absolutely NO protection from her family. So it’s no surprise that when David steps up and provides protection she laps it up. She has a flash trigger temper but this doesn’t seem to faze David whatsoever. These two just seem to get each other’s brand of crazy, and they have an intense, all-consuming sort of romance.David seemed to be calm and controlled, but he seemed like he could easily snap.  Emma jostles that control and David likes the feeling it gives him.  As his past is revealed it sheds some light into his personality, but I think it’s best to learn that on your own.Push is very different from all the New Adult reads out there.  It was both fascinating and horrifying.  I’m anxious to find out how it all turns out.  Which reminds me, BE WARNED there is a pretty hefty cliffhanger at the end!  Claire Wallis you are one wicked woman!
