.... The Blurb ....
The day I met Hunter Maxwell he wasn’t the rich kid who lived in the giant house, he wasn’t the most popular guy in school, he certainly wasn’t the bully who had chased his own best friend out of town after a falling out—he was just a boy with a black eye and a dark secret.
My life would have been much easier if I had stayed out of it, but I couldn’t. I saw someone hurting and wanted to help. I saw someone possibly in danger and wanted to make sure he was safe.
There’s nothing safe about Hunter Maxwell, though. I thought there might be. I fell under his spell. Whatever the world saw when they looked at him, it wasn’t what he showed me.
The bond we formed was real. I know it was real. But with Hunter, when the tides turn, you’d better hope you’re safely on the shore and out of his reach.
I thought I was a strong enough swimmer to keep my head above water. I thought if it came down to it, I could resist his pull.
I didn’t know, but now I do.
Once Hunter sets his sights on you, there’s no such thing as out of his reach. Whether it’s today, tomorrow, or five years from now, he’s coming for me—and when he does, he won’t stop until he’s destroyed me.
.... My Thoughts ...
In Short
- I found myself thinking about this book throughout the day.
- All the characters have a lot of depth to them.
- Riley, the main character, is a huge reason I loved this book.
In Long
This is my first book by Sam and her writing is addictive and 'moreish'. I have Amazon stalked her after this book.
This is a long book and I feel it could easily have been spilt in to two, if not there, books. However the advantage to it being in one book was how wrapped up I was able to become in their life's because I haven't had to come out of it and wait for the next book. The characters consumed me and I often found myself thinking about them and their story throughout the day.
There were parts of the book I feel could have been shortened but I enjoyed getting to know and spend time with the characters so I don't see that as a negative thing.
The characters, from first to secondary, are well developed and have lots of depth to them. I love that they were all able to make me feel emotions for or about them. From sadness or annoyance and anger.
Riley is a brilliant character and very likeable. She's one of the main reasons I loved this book. I love seeing her kindness, her relationship with her mum is beautiful to see and watch it change as Riley grows up.
Hunter is a doche and at times I got mad at Riley but then I was often completely pulled in like Riley and fell for it as much as she did.
Final Thoughts
I feel like this book is somewhat like marmite. You will either love or hate it. I definitely love it.
