Jake Reese thinks he’s just a screwed-up high school kid living in a small town isolated in the Arizona desert.  Traumatized at an early age by his mother’s sudden death—and believing he might have had something to do with it   —he’s allowed his guilt and lack of self-confidence to rule his life.

Hailey is the fiery little redhead that sees Jake as more than just a good friend. When she invites him as her       date to a school function, it brings down the walls he’s built to protect his heart, and sets off a series of events that threaten not only Jake’s life, but that of everyone around him.

The discovery of a portal on the outskirts of town brings Jake face-to-face with death and reveals a closely guarded secret about his mother. No longer is his memory of her the only thing that haunts him. Something evil from her past has escaped through the portal, and nothing will prevent it from trying to steal Jake’s future.

Can Jake overcome his fears to keep Hailey safe? Will the decisions he’s forced to make destroy everyone he knows and loves?
And ultimately…is he strong enough to live with those choices?

S.G. Daniels lives in rural Central Illinois with her husband of thirty-one years, and two spoiled cats, Payne and Jenks. She works full-time in a local medical facility as a patient accounting refund specialist. Most of her evenings she can be found in front of her computer, working on story ideas, or learning the ins and outs of the writing world. On the weekends, if she’s not spending time outside, she’s usually found nose-deep in a book. When S.G. unleashes her inner daredevil, she usually takes off through winding timber trails or country roads on the ATV. Her weaknesses are iced tea and pretzels, especially when she’s working on a story.

Who doesn’t love a perfect combination of friends, family, and lovers? But that’s not all, it also comes with some fast-paced action scenes! This will surely satisfy a bibliophile’s craving!

The story stretches itself from blaming yourself to friendship to another level of friendship to family and when you think you know what’s going to happen it will hit you right in the face and will command you to think again!

We won’t go into full details because if we do, we might spill the beans and who wants to waste some delicious beans?

But don’t worry we won’t leave you hanging out there.

Here are some of the things that we loved the most:

First off, the romance. It just simply tells everyone that there is a chance that you won’t get stuck in the friendzone for the rest of your life. Who knows, maybe you are meant for each other.

Second, family. You may have noticed by now that if we can, we’ll point this part of a book. Yes. We firmly believe that a book shouldn’t be just about the girl and the boy because hey, that would suck so bad. We totally love how his relationship with his father turned out.

And of course, it’s not a great book with your BFF. And there it is. Every book needs a joker for a best friend who’d always have your back and Kase is just the perfect example.

The book is well written but sometimes, the dialogues are cut off in the middle so it’s pretty confusing but don’t worry because that only happened for a really few times.

All in all, it’s not that mainstream (because we’re tired of saying the word “cliche”), just about 5% or so, nevertheless, it’s so great!  You would the need the second book as badly as we want it now!!

Our verdict 

3.5 stars! Really really liked it!! Go get this book because I swear you won’t regret it. EVER.
