It takes a truly gifted writer to make you completely fall in love with a book, while simultaneously wishing you had never read it in the first place.Lynetta Halat has managed to do this to me. More than once.When I first heard about Used, started seeing teasers, excerpts, etc., I thought I knew what I was going to be reading.I could not have been more wrong.Lynetta creates a world and characters that literally embed themselves in your heart and mind. Even weeks after finishing this book, I find my mind wandering off to think about it.She brings us characters that are a real dichotomy. Broken, yet strong, Denver is much more than meets the eye. Greer is truly in love with her, but is he secretly the cause of much of her pain? How does the controlled, decisive Ransom run so hot and cold for someone he barely knows?I don't know how she does it, but Lynetta gets the reader to truly CARE about these characters. I need to know how this story ends up. I need to know that they're all going to be OK. I'm invested.More then just words on a page, Used is a part of me now.Why do I say that I wish I'd never read this book? Quite simply, Lynetta's books take over your heart and mind. Days, weeks, and even months later, I still don't know how to let them go.But I'm OK with that.
