3.5 
 Here is the thing: this is the first time that I didn't love the boy more than the girl. Normally with Crownover, I'm all over the boys in the series. The Marked Men series had me drooling over tattooed boys while I had trouble connecting with the female characters. 
 However, with this one it was the reverse. I found myself more interested in Sayer than I was with Zeb. Maybe because I've always been the Sayer in relationships (running from people before they have the chance to hurt me). I just had trouble connecting with Zeb and I felt like his was very much a surface character, very unusual for a male in Crownover's books. 
 The overall story kept me interested and I'm excited for future books. Just wish I got to know Zeb better and I REALLY wish she would tone down the names a bit. Zeb, Sayer, Hyde, Beryl, Echo, Quaid...isn't anyone named Matt or Jessica? Or does everyone in Denver have super bizarre names?
