Believe was a quick and captivating read. I really liked the previous books in the True Believers series and this was another enjoyable addition.Believe is the story of Robin and Phoenix. Robin used to be a party girl until one night when she sleeps with her best friend's boyfriend. Now the guilt is eating away at her. Then there is Phoenix who just got out of jail a few days ago. I liked both Robin and Phoenix and found them to be really interesting characters. They both are so different, but also have a lot in common. I really enjoyed getting to know more about them.The chemistry between these characters was certainly there from the beginning, but I found that the relationship developed very quickly. Their relationship just progressed really fast in a short amount of time so that made it seem unrealistic to me.I loved seeing the return of Riley, Jessica, Rory, Tyler, Easton, and Jaden. I really love the family relationship in these books so I was happy to see it being continued on again in Believe. This is a family that sticks together no matter what.The plot was captivating with a good balance of drama and romance. It was a bit predictable at times, but not always. I did feel like it was really rushed though. I would of loved to see some things expanded on more because I was expecting for something more to come from certain situations. The end, especially, just wrapped up all really quickly.Overall I liked Believe. It wasn't my favorite book in the True Believers series because of the pacing, but I still enjoyed it. I will still definitely be looking forward to the next addition in the series.*A copy of this book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review
