4.5 StarsFirstly I would like to thank Miller for kindle providing me with a copy of The Line That Bends to read and review, this certainly won't be the last.Lila and Ben are two different yet the same, teens that inherit an estate which belonged to Lila's estranged aunt.When Lila, her brother and her dad move into the estate after unfortunate events, its a dark, dismal and a foreboding feeling, like there is darkness is looming.Ben works as a groundsman on the estate with his Grandfather, this is home to him, and nothing will take it away from him.Not even some snobby rich kid....or is she?I loved the short poem that Miller wrote in the beginning:"No light shines the same,No shadow conceals the ache.Once was passion, now is pain.The touch of skin, the smell of rain.Eyes like fire have burnt to ash. Vacant. Gone.Cold and Frail.The secrets, the whispers, a broken trust.Forever it will stay, crippling until I break."After discovering her Aunt's painting collection of a well, Lila sets out on a adventure to find it, to check out its beauty, little known to her, Ben is also in search for the well, but for a different reason.After an unfortunate event and a run on with the well, this sets off a chain of event which result in Ben & Lila searching the estate for anything that they can find on a "curse" Ben's grandpa spoke of on Lila's bloodline.As these two teens conspire to figure out this curse together, they both wasn't expecting to have the feelings that they have for one another, and with time, there growing stronger and stronger the more they spend time together.Once the secret that Ben's been harbouring comes out, will the two be able to keep their blossoming relationship going or will the cracks cause it to crumble and fall?This book is full of mystery and excitement and I really did get caught up in it. The writer did an awesome job with the Characters and the story line.I can't wait to read more and read the next instalment that Miller has lined up for us in the sequel "The Line That Breaks"
