Blurb:

Your first kiss is supposed to be sweet. Ours was baptized in fire.

I was the new girl trying to find her place.

Landon was the brooding neighbor I tutored over the summer.

I didn’t know he was a legend at Black Mountain Academy.

I didn’t know they worshipped him like a religion.

But I fell for him before I knew those things.

To me, he was just the tortured soul who drew me in like a magnet.

And then he did something so unspeakable, so unforgivable, it shattered me.

I ran away then because I was weak, but I’ve shed my tears.

He stole my heart and my dignity, and I’m here to take it back.

The only problem is… he’s not giving it up without a fight.

Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

So freakin’ good!

"He's an entire world. An energy. The subject of song lyrics, and the reason for wars. When he looks at me, my heart gallops. And then it shatters to pieces."

Kailani Hale is back at Black Mountain after running away two years ago. She's back a changed girl and thirsty for revenge against Landon Blackwood and all those closely associated with him. She will do whatever it takes. However, that's easier said than done when she's back in his orbit.

"We are two wounded animals with overgrown claws, just waiting for an excuse to rip each other's throats out."

Landon is simultaneously excited and furious that Kail is back. Didn't she take enough when she disappeared two years earlier? He doesn't want anything to do with her, yet he can't stay away from her.

"It would be a hell of a lot easier to hate her if she didn't look like everything I ever needed."

Oh my god! This was such a fantastic read! Landon and Kail together were electric. There's so much going on in this story - lies, secrets, violence, misunderstanding - yet, through it all, it's clear that they are meant to be together. Kail puts on a brave façade while she's out seeking revenge, but she's not completely lost to it, as she still has a soft conscience and doesn't revel in her actions. Landon puts up with a lot from everyone because it's easier and people will still do whatever they want. He's famous and adored, but never been truly loved. My heart hurt for him. I loved the two young lovers together and I loved the ending of the story. Definitely need to read more from this author.
