Calico by Callie Hart is a standalone novel of second-chances, redemption, and the triumph over tragic pasts and wrong-doing. It is filled with heartache and angst but also with love and it was absolutely amazing. I have been a huge fan of Callie Hart's writing ever since I dove in and devoured Deviant back in February of 2014 and while this book is so very different from that series it is just as amazing (if not more so, sorry Zeth!) 
 Coralie and Callan were practically inseparable since they were fifteen. Even then they knew they were soulmates, before they even understood quite what that meant. But Coralie had a secret that she couldn't tell Callan no matter how much she trusted him and it ended up pulling them apart when they really needed each other the most. Fast forward a few years and Coralie is back in South Carolina. She has no desire to be there and dredge up old and terrifying memories but has no choice in the matter. She doesn't expect to see Callan back in town as well. Thus begins the spiral of confrontation, accusation, hurt, loss and anger that eventually leads them to a good place. I can say that with no spoilers as the book is a stand-alone with a happy ever after. It is purely about the journey that Coralie and Callan both have to take in order for them to get to that "better" place. 
 A beautiful, powerful read. I absolutely swooned over Callan and LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this book!!!! 
 Kirstin's Review: 
 Calico by Callie Hart 5++ out of 5 stars 
 Wow. 
 Callie Hart never disappoints and always leaves you thinking, "Wow, that was a great book." 
 Calico is one of those books that you just can't put down because of the dark emotional angst and your own desire to see things through to the end, hoping for a happily ever after on the other side of such heart wrenching turmoil. (I was up till two in the morning, tears dripping onto my pillow in order to finish this book.) 
 You fall in love with Callan and Coralie and feel the burden of their pain as well as the desire and love just dying to release them from their own personal hells. It's heartbreaking. But rest assured, there is happiness at the end of this roller coaster ride. 
 But be warned, it is a tear jerker. And your heart will break before it can heal and soar from this amazing story. 
 ENJOY!
