I received an ARC copy to give an honest review.Okay I am giving this book a 4.5 rating. Only because I didn't feel satisfied with some of the answers.Now there may be spoilers so reader beware.Story line was different and something I did not see coming. Meaning Nadia was not who I thought she was.This is more of a teenage story I want to say Young Adult read, because it deals with high-schoolers drama and well that is it.I enjoyed how Mike ended up standing up for him self after taking so much drama from his fellow classmates. With the Shepherd you are reading the story from a teenage skater boy was a bit different for me.The characters were written pretty good, and being as I just graduated high school about 8 years ago it reminded me on how high school was. So I know a bit on how Mike was feeling. You have a bit of a mystery within in the book with who Nadia is and what her story is. Being as she stays with Mike and gives him money, weird right?Now I would have liked more back story with Mike and his mother. Maybe more visions.And I do not honestly think that with the texting we needed what it really meant like f2f means (face to face). This could have been put into the prologue or before the story started. I do understand why the author gave us the meaning as maybe people wouldn't understand, but now that everything is cell phones and computer I am sure people know.Another think, the dating scenes between Anita and Mike it seemed a bit rushed. I mean they start dating and bam they want to start having sex. I guess I would have liked for them to actually have dated without the wanting to jump each others bones so quickly.If you are looking for something that is a bit different then I say get this book. Give it a try.
