If this was a stand alone and not a from a series, I might have given the book 5 stars.  It was a well developed story with some great characters (with actually a fair share of editing/spelling/grammar issues, but I can look beyond that if the story is well told). The simple fact that this was the second story and it seemed quite similar to Zeke and Patience's story insofar that the boys were "bad boys" from the wrong side of the tracks and the girls came from families that were a very important part of the community, but were abused in some sort of way.  That is the only reason I took one star off.  Also, there was the fact that I felt like they left a little off where Faith and her father were concerned further down the story.  Shouldn't people have to pay for their actions?  Even the mother needed a bit more story (or a backbone) to show how she got to the place she was at.  Faith seems to be such a forgiving person, but some things need a different road (trying not to spoil any of the storyline here).Overall, I enjoyed Finn and Faith's story and how it developed.  Love a good story that can take you into the troubles of teenagers and develop them into young adults.  Some things I think should've been addressed more thoroughly, but overall it was still well told.  These 2 go through so much, but their connection and love is obvious.  Can they survive their pasts, their problems, their abuse, their losses, their addictions, their misunderstandings?"I didn't think about protecting my soul in my cross.  There was no need for it anymore.  Finn had my soul, and I knew that no matter what, he'd protect it."
