3 stars - When the very thing you need to heal also causes you pain, what do you do?First Impressions...I am a huge New Adult fan.  It combines the magic of YA with the sexy of Adult and I love it.  So when I had the chance to review this one, I grabbed it up.The Characters...Sometimes an author leaves you wondering about the characters to draw your interest.  I think that's what the author was going for here but for me it only make the beginning slow.  I needed to connect to these two and I wasn't feeling it.  It took me about a third of the way through before I started feeling that connection.  That's too long, I think.Ultimately, I did like Pixie and Levi.  They are both hurting.  They both blame themselves for the events of one night that changed their lives forever.  Mostly, they miss each other.  Once I saw that and felt that, I cared about them and I enjoyed their story.The Story...I wasn't sure where this was going.  Every time I though I had it figured out, it seemed to change directions.  I think it was the authors way of making sure that the characters dealt with their pain in a real way.  It was hard to watch them go through that.  I did enjoy the sexual tension it caused between them.Could I Put It Down...I almost put it down for good.  But I talked to a blogger friend who had read it and she said things picked up and to keep reading.  So I did and once I hit that spot, I didn't put it down but read it straight through.  Actually, I read it in an evening.In The End...I think that huge fans of New Adult will still enjoy this one.  Perhaps the warning of the slow start is good to know.  But if you are just so/so with NA, I think you'll struggle with this one.
