 If you love a story filled with angst, lies, secrets and a brooding bad boy, you're going to really enjoy this latest book by Lexi Ryan! Page after page, this story was filled with all the emotions you can think of...confusion, fear, sadness, anger, disappointment, guilt, longing, lust, and love. Just as quickly as it made you shed a tear, the story brought hope and joy. The alternating past/present format ensured that the author provided little bits of information to help solve the mystery just when you needed them and allowed the reader to go deeper into the story...seeing it from many angles. And, although I was able to guess the outcome of the mystery thanks to the scenes in the past, that didn't diminish my enthusiasm for the story or it's characters. 
 Arrow and Mia come from very different circumstances and, thanks to unforeseen circumstances, they can't be together even though they ultimately love each other. As each of them work through the pain and guilt of the aftermath of a hit and run accident, they drawn to each other but, as in the past, they can't quite seal the deal. Not only is the past holding them back but the present poses obstacles too. These two have great chemistry and undoubtedly belong together but the universe is not going to make it easy for them. 
 Before they can move forward, some very painful things must happen for both of them and they must face truths that they might rather keep hidden. I enjoyed the secondary characters and the interactions between them and look forward to seeing who becomes the main character in the next book. This is the beginning of a very good series and I'm very interested in seeing what happens next!
