Oh where to start.....this author had my emotions all over the board. This is a story centered around two main characters Jaxon and Sara. The author starts the story when they are mere children on the playground in elementary school and takes the reader through the pivotal moments in their lives together and apart. The story spans from when they were young children up until their mid twenties.The love that Jaxon has for Sara is so powerful and heart wrenching. The pages bleed emotion and suck you into a world of young love, abuse, poverty, domestic violence, and a crime world that is utterly shocking. It is such a well told story - I could barely put the book down to do things like eat, drink, etc. I had to know what happened next - because I certainly couldn't predict this story.The dialog is fantastic! I find a lot of authors use such movie, over-the-top, totally unbeliveable dialog. But this author went for words that stir your emotions - not only in a swoon worthy way, but in an oh my you can't take that back!The author does a fantastic job of building the characters. When reading this book, I could so picture this sad town that they grew up in. I wanted to take little Sara in. But I was so happy that she had someone that cared for her in an adult way with Jaxon's Mom. I got so choked up when the author describes Sara's home life. How amazingly sad, but a reality for a lot of kids. It totally broke my heart and had me in tears.This was an intense read. It has got me thinking and trying to put all the pieces together. The twist and turns and edge of your seat moments are too many to count. I am captivated by Jaxon's devotion and love, and totally creeped out by Remy's obsession with Sara. I wanted to shake Sara and say you are making a huge mistake! I wanted to tell Jaxon he took the easy way out. I know he had to feel better about himself when he was working a blue collar job. I am still trying to figure out where Daniel fits into this story. Is he the legal council for the Jackals? What is the deal with Sara's mom? How did Jaxon get involved with the Scorpians? What happened in jail? See...tons of emotions, questions, and a truck load of opinions.  I don't want to give the story away - but this is merely to show this book makes you think and certainly leaves you wanting more!This book will stay with me for awhile and I will certainly read this again - thus the five stars. Kudos to this author for an original storyline and totally addictive characters!  I am for sure buying the second part of this book!  This was worth every penny and more. Great read! Hit buy - you won't regret it.
