I actually give this book 4.5 stars. I got so emotionally invested in the characters in this book and my heart ached when the end came and I was left hanging. The ending made we want to scream because it was such an intense cliffhanger. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series.Reese Johnson lost her mother and her father was kidnapped. She was sheltered by her father after her mother's death, so when she is thrown into public school and a foster home she has trouble dealing. To make things worse everyone treats her like a murderer. I felt so badly for her and wanted to punch out all the people who were mean to her. You could feel the fear, loneliness and despair she felt.The Satterly's are the feamily that took her in as a foster child. Johanna and her husband Rick are so kind to her and want badly to help her feel a part of the family. Garrett and Havock are their sons and couldn't be more different from one another. Garrett is kind and understanding while Havock is distant and cocky. I really liked this family but felt so many things about Havock. At first I thought he was just a jerk and he needed to be smacked, but upon continued reading and really digging into his character I felt he was just a bit lost. I like that Reese could see past that rough exterior and brought out something special in him.An emotionally charged book with characters that really stick with you. I can't wait to find out what happens next!!
