Okay, so I didn't fall in love with this book right away. For awhile, I thought I was going to rate the book 2, maybe 3 stars. However, about 2/3 of the way into the book, it became really good, and it definitely got boosted to 4 stars.
I loved, loved, loved the relationship between Jay & Violet. I thought it was really sweet =) I loved how protective he was of her, not in the "she's a girl so she can't take care of herself" way but because he genuinely cared for her.
The character of Chelsea made me laugh. I loved her sarcasm =)
It did have a hint of Mean Girls in it though. The character of Claire reminded me a lot of Amanda Seyfried's character in the film. And there is the mention of a Queen Bee.
I loved the plot as well. I've never read anything like it. I like the way the author brought together the elements of suspense, crime, romance, and paranormal. They all blended very well.
I'd definitely recommend this book. It does take a long time to get going, as I've said before, but once it does, it definitely drags you in!

Outlander fans rejoice there is a book that brings that exact feel but in a different time period. War, love torn apart, and suprisingly realistic detail are all shown throughout the book.
Why the 3 stars? To me this book seemed a tad drawn out. Almost as if the author had read the Bloody Jack series and decided to create a book with less pirates. Love blossoms through distance and strife.
I feel this is the perfect book for Outlander lovers and those who want a realistic romance.

Started off well but became more unbelievable as the story progressed. It was a pleasant enough read. I wouldn't really class this as Military romance even though this is what I was led to believe. I thought SEIGE was a bit wishy washy and the bad guys could have been overpowered with a 4 yr old brandishing a water pistol (sorry that was a little unfair) The bad guys could have been a bit more badder! ( Is that even a word?!)
And the dangling knives...what is this a cartoon.

2.5 - 3 stars. I haven't decided yet which.
I found the style very grating, it wasn't a comfortable one for me at all. The way sentences were written across various lines and stuff...I didn't get it.
The story. Well, after the 30% mark I'd gotten used to how it was written and I was intrigued enough to stick with it until the end and I was surprised and also not. It reminded me a little of another book I'd read.
I don't think I'll be reading more of the authors work.

3.5 stars.
I like Abbi Glines' work, some more than others.
This started good, I liked the somewhat forbidden-ness of going after the girl your roommate says he's going to marry in the future. I liked the connection between Marcus and Low.
I just figured out the dilemma of both their families from more or less page 20. It was a bit too obvious so I have no idea why neither of them could figure it out sooner.
I have books 3 and 4 in this series and I'm going to read them next.
