I was surprised by how much I liked this book to be quite honest. I was also surprised by the extent of the content in reference to the length of this book for it to be free. Normally when you get free books they give you JUST enough then leave you with a cliff hanger right when you're on the cusp of the climax. So you will be enthralled enough to go buy book 2. This book DID do that but not as quickly as others normally do lol. This book it gave you a couple of exciting moments and allowed you to see certain events through before it finally ended. Now with all this being "said" This book is about a teenager named Maddie who we meet camping out on a mountain top enjoying the great outdoors. We go along with Maddie as she gets ready to start college and meet three new girls who are her dorm mates. Maddie instantly clicks her her roommate Catherine/ Cat and she bonds with her and shares with her the most painful moments that have occurred in her life.One day during a day of shopping for a formal dance their college is having they encounter someone following them and watching them. The girls do the smart thing and walk to the police station for their safety and their protection just in case this stranger does mean them harm. After the "incident" the girls forget it and go on with their lives and prepare for their dance. Maddie decided to take a hike in the mountains before she heads out to spend the holidays with Cat and her family. This trip to the mountains turns out to be more than anything that Maddie could of ever bargained for. After a tragic accident Maddie finds her self hurt & broken and she starts to see dead people lol(read the book & you'll understand). Maddie blacks out from the pain and when she awakens she finds herself in a unknown place, with unknown people, and this overwhelming unknown STRONG feelings for a certain handsome stranger.Rayn is any woman's dream in EVERY sense of the matter! His eyes is what lures Maddie in and the feeling that he gives her captures her heart. Rayn finds himself nursing a broken Maddie back to health as best he can while here on earth. Being from Vesturon Rayn isn't too familiar with humans personally his relationship with them or his knowledge of them has been from afar. So you can imagine the challenge that Maddie poses him to deal with after being in such close contact with her. But, the problem arises when Rayn's feelings for Maddie catches him off guard & are more than they should be especially for a human at that. I say get this book it was a good read it had character development and the storyline is good also I just bought book 2! I hope this review aids in you final decision to get this book.
