"I'd rather die fighting, than die for nothing at all."Phew, holy heck where to begin with this one! This story started out quite slow for me, and at one point I had considered not finishing it. I am so glad that I kept going! At a little over halfway through the story it began to pick up in a huge way! By the end, I was sitting on the edge of my seat at four in the morning wishing that it wouldn't end! My biggest complaint would be that it ended on a cliffy. Anyone who knows me, knows that I don't like cliffy's and I usually do anything to avoid them! Well, I wasn't able to avoid this one, and now I have to wait holding my breath until the next book. And believe me, I will be waiting very IM-patiently for the next book! Monica James is an author I have not heard of before; but I was lucky that she reached out and offered me an ARC! Well, thank you Monica..I am so very glad I took a chance and read your book as Mia/Paige, Quinn, Tristan, and Tabitha;AKA, "the group of Misfits," will be etched into my heart for good now! I truly hope that each one of them find a HEA. Will they? I have no clue? There are some major things that go down in this story, and when I say major...I mean Major with a capital M!This story begins with a young lady named Mia who is on the run from something she has done. She changes her name to Paige and takes off to a town where no one knows who she is or where she comes from. Mia has a horrible past, and she has been through very heavy duty events from the time she was 8 years old. This is a girl that has done many hard core things all in the name of survival.She settles into a new town/new life and quickly meets some people who become very important to her, and teach her the definiton of what love and family is all about.Quinn and Tristan are the local hotties who have a bunch of piercings, and some very sexy smiles! Both of them develop an interest in Paige (Mia), but there is no question in Paige's mind that her main attraction is to Quinn! Sparks fly whenever they are together; but both are hesitant to act on it because they are scared to hurt Tristan. Most of the time though, when an attraction is that explosive, there is just no way to stay away from one another. Will Tristan be the one to break things off with Paige, or will they give in to their desire?This story is quite unpredictable at times, and just when you think that you know what is going to happen; a wrench is thrown into it and something changes. There were things that happened in the book that got my blood pumping and my emotions on high. Once the slow parts were over with, this story held me captivated. Do I reccomend it? Hell yeah, just make sure to be patient with it! I promise it gets better and I can't wait until the second book! A great read, and an author who I will be watching closely to see what else Monica James brings to the table!I Received an ARC from author in exchange for an honest review..Thank you
