Fantastic way to start a book! I mean having Keara's parents die is horrible, but in doing that it gives this book a great platform to take off from.After Keara's parents death, her weird aunt Aingeal moves in with her from Ireland and life as she knows it comes to a complete halt. And I mean complete and utter halt. Home school, in-her-room hermit with no outside contact for 2 months! That is until her gay best friend Jared (I love that he's gay) comes swoopin' in to bust her out of her rut by going to a concert that involves her favorite band EVER. While out that night Keara gets an uneasy feeling that someone is watching her....that's when she spots Channing. Blond hair, piercing eyes that make her melt on the inside, you know the whole teenage heart throb thing. She's not sure what it is about him that makes her senses go wild, but she likes it!After running into Channing again at Night Secrets, a new club in town, she knows she's got the hots for him.  She also notices that she's catching the eye of the mysterious club owner, Corbin. After coming to Keara's rescue she feels as though Corbin would do anything to make sure she's safe....that is until he's suddenly attacking her in the parking lot of his club. Or is he?Now with secrets revealing themselves at every turn Keara must trust those around her to keep her safe, but more importantly she must learn trust what is locked inside herself and believe she can tap into before it's too late.Ok....coming down from this read I was initially SUPER excited about it. I enjoyed the twist that was given on the paranormal side of things, but I wanted to book to be longer. The plot was good, laid out well, I just know it could have used a couple more chapters. Oh and assuming that this novel is YA simply because the main characters are in high school is an epic fail on my part, because man there was a scene, or two,  that had me blushing!One thing that I really liked was, if a decision was made that would contradict what a previous character stated, the author was able to pull the plot & side plots together to make it all run together extremely well. This is hard to do, and I've found myself lately asking authors, "Why are you letting that happen, it doesn't make sense!", needless to say the book doesn't give me answers & it's frustrating as hell!All in all, this was a really good read. I'm looking forward to where BK takes Keara on her journey, and hoping the next book is a tad bit longer.4/5
