It is no secret that I am a huge Lila Felix fan! Love her writing style, and the raw emotions she evokes through her words. I love her books so very much, and Lila just keeps getting better with every book she writes. As of today, Seeking Havok is now my favorite Lila Felix book. I absolutely loved it that much.Havok's life is not what most of us would think of as "normal". Her mother will win no awards for "Mother of the Year", that's for sure. Yet Havok is strong and she is determined to have a better life. Havok has few people in her life that she can count on, her best friend Ali is pretty much it. Other than a few people who help her out here and there with her job, and such, the only company she has is the voice of Fade, one of the local DJ's who works the night shift.Cal works late nights and has no life. He gets some time with his best friend Jett on his days off, but other than that he's just trying to get through the day. That is until he sees Havok. He doesn't know why but he is drawn to her and wants to get to know her, which is not an easy thing to do.What I liked about the book: As always, I loved the fact that I laughed out loud, I got angry, and I cried. Reading this made me feel nostalgic, it brought back memories of when my own girls were teenagers; remembering some of the issues I watched a few of their friends go through.What I didn't like about the book: I would have liked a little rougher closure in one area - but that is all I'm going to say about that for now...I might provide more details once the book has been released - please note this is just because I really was angry about this part not because it was needed to make the story better.Would I recommend this book: YES! It is an amazing book!Personal note: If you have teenagers, read it - this is a fictional story, but someone your kids know may be going through stuff. Let this be a reminder that you need to show love to those who come into your care.
