I am so completely and utterly broken right now. It's going to take a long time to fit all the pieces back together again. 
 When I first heard about this book, it was nothing more than a cover and a letter from the author, explaining how dark the book was and how difficult it was to do it justice. That was enough for me. I needed desperately to read this book. Right now. I mean, how dark can it possibly be, right? It lived up to the author's claims and then some. I'm so glad that Courtney stayed true to her heart, because this story deals with some very dark, and very important, issues, including grief, tragedy and mental illness. Keep a box of tissues handy! 
 I wish that you could all read this book and be just as in the dark as I was. Unfortunately, the cat's out of the bag. Now, there's a synopsis, reviews, teasers, and all manner of spoilers. I'm going to do my best to keep this review as spoiler-free as possible. 
 The story is told from the dual POV of Calla and her twin brother Finn. I absolutely loved how the two voices played off each other, and yet were completely distinct. And then there's this downright sexy stranger, Dare. I had no clue what his story was. Sometimes he seemed like the sweetest guy ever, while other times I wondered if he didn't have some creepy ulterior motive. He's like a secret, wrapped in a mystery, dipped in a conundrum batter and then deepfried in a boiling vat of WTF?! 
 The whole story is part contemp romance, part mystery. Yet even after everything is revealed... there's still so much left unexplained! I didn't realize it was going to be a series! Just another way that I was kept in the dark. The sequel will be an automatic read for me, and it can't come soon enough. 
 A copy of this book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
