To say I am a fan of Lila Felix is an understatement.  I have read all of her books and have simply adored each and every one. And Seeking Havok is no exception.This book tells the story of Havok Daniels, who for most of her young life, has had to take care of her strung out, whore of a mother, while practically living and sleeping in a closet. And that's the nights she is able to be there without her mother bringing home men.  On those nights, Havok literally roams the street until exhaustion takes over and she sleeps on someone's stoop.  And it is on one of those stoops, that Havok's world changes.She meets Cal, quite by accident, not knowing he is also the voice of Fade, a late night radio program she is addicted too.  Havok is able to tell Fade all about her nonconventional life since she figures she'll never meet him.  But Jocelyn's (Havok uses her middle name on the radio) confession turns the program on it's ear and Fade just wants to find her and help her.This book is told from both Fade and Havok's POV as they both struggle with their mutual attraction to each other and the lies they keep.Havok despite her situation, has a great friend in Ali and her very large family, the woman at Swan's bakery and her boss, the man who delivers newspapers with her. So she really isn't as alone as it would appear.What is so wonderful about this book and Lila's writing overall is that the sense of hope if always first and foremost. That no matter what, there is always the hope that things will turn around and life will get better and be better.  Pair that with the strong sense of family, whether blood or not, and you have the very familiar and winning combination that Lila Felix does so well.I thoroughly enjoyed this simply yet sweet story of a girl who although lost at times, has a beautiful heart and wants that HEA just like everyone else. And her ability to love through all her heartache is quite extraordinary.I cannot recommend this book enough. Lila Felix writes with pure joy in her heart and despite whatever a character is going through, you always feel that joy and want to embrace it.It's a beautiful love story of hope, redemption and being able to survive no matter what.  You will not be disappointed.
