***5 "Love never discriminates' Stars*** 
 I thought I knew what I was getting myself into with this book, or at least half a clue, but I'm woman enough to admit that in the end I knew nothing. Oh there were a couple of things I "knew" but they were such minor aspects in the big scheme of things that they don't really count, but that's what made this book a page turner that I couldn't put down. It brought out all the feels, and when I say ALL. THE. FEELS. I mean it. Split is a book that one NEEDS to experience with as open and unbiased a mind as possible, which is quite difficult, but so worth it in the end. 
 Shyann ~ God this girl drove me bat shit crazy and I honestly didn't know if I'd end up even liking her at the end of the book. I understood why she felt the way she did and her reasoning for doing the things she did, but her tunnel vision rubbed me the wrong way so much in the beginning that I actually ended up snarling at her. A lot. But, I kept giving her the benefit of the doubt because of the glimpses of her true heart that would pop up every so often and that Shyann I really wanted to know and thank god I got to meet that girl. She was still stubborn and determined but her heart was as genuine and compassionate as they come. 
 Lucas/??? ~ From the description of the book you've probably guessed that there is a lot more to Lucas than meets the eye, but you'll have to read the book to find out just how that all works out. What I will say is that I adored Lucas from the beginning, he preferred solitude and peace and had a sweet simplicity to him that was more welcoming than off putting, but holy fuck did my heart shatter for him at what he'd been put through in his short life. No one should ever have to experience what he did, but even though he went through hell he has a pure soul that draws you in. And in the end I adored both sides of this very complex yet simple man and loved how both sides of his nature finally blended together. 
 Shyann and Lucas' journey was a rocky one. They both had demons to conquer and walls to tear down but they did it together and separately. The mix of Shyann's tenacity and Lucas' sweet protectiveness brought out the best in each other and gave them both hope for a brighter future than either had thought possible. While the smexy level isn't in the realm of needing an Arctic temperature bath, it's still pretty smexy and perfect for them. And their HEA? It was perfect for them. 
 Split is my first book by J.B. Salsbury and talk about being shoved down the rabbit hole, but I enjoyed every second of it, even when I was snarling. The multiple first person POV was well done as was the pacing of the story. The mystery/suspense aspects of the story were well thought out and executed and the twists and turns had me questioning what I believed had happened. The secondary characters were very well written and I know this is a standalone, but I'm crossing my toes that Cody my get his own book one day. Also, this book goes into some pretty dark and heavy issues that will be major triggers for some, so be aware and prepared for it, but know that they play an integral part to the story.
