This is a contemporary-romantic-suspense book, second book in the series The Bloodlines. Yes it can be read as a stand alone, but I would recommend reading the first book Tug of War to get the complete story. And I am anxious for the other books to be published. I am having a love-hate relationship with K. Larsen, yes she knows why, sorry no spoilers from me, lol. I love this series, another great book with a kick butt, take names later woman, Cypress. I love her heart, I understand her grief, and I admire her strength.My life was everyday normal, strict parents, high school, then finally dating. And wouldn't you know my first boyfriend would be the bad boy, the one my dad tries to protect me from. So my simple life goes from predictable, to mind blowing, all leading to my objective.How can I forget him, when he invades my thoughts, dreams, every memory. Whom am I kidding? I can not let him go, because my heart will not accept he is gone.I deserve to be broken, I killed my soul mate. A year of trying to erase the memories, the feeling of self hate, but I cant. Grief has over taken me. Taking my own life would be too easy, I need this pain.I wake up every morning to face the day, one minute at a time.How can I describe how I feel when I can not comprehend it myself. I simply miss him. I am shattered.favorite passages:"I want to run up to her. I want to confront her. I want to hate her, but I don't.""I don't know if it's the injury or my shattered heart, but it always aches.""No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear." <3"Something about the pain soothes me, though, as much as it hurts, as if I deserve it.""I hope you never have to think about anything as much as I think about you.""I keep thinking that my life is unfinished, that its missing something, someone.""That's what family is for, right?""Three loud knocks on the window made me clutch my chest and scream like a little girl.""I swear the butterflies that had been in my stomach just fluttered around so fiercely that I thought I might float out of my seat right into heaven.""The guilt drips into my chest through a pinhole, slowly drowning me.""I don't know whom I am without him.""But so much has changed. Everything is different.""I gave up my life, my love, my soul.""I love you so hard. So hard." <3"It breeds and feeds on your soul, breaking you down like compost until you're nothing but dirt.""I would sell my soul to see Cane's face again, but as he always said adapt or die, no three words have ever been truer."
