I just love this series...LOVE, LOVE LOVE.

We got an extra special treat in this book...dual POV's.  That's right we got into Mason's head and I loved it.  

Sam is at a new school and she is the number one target for Kate and her little friends.  Everyone hates her, they are jealous of her relationship with Logan and Mason.  

So I am going to give you some of my thoughts while I was reading the book.  

at 29% I was feeling bad for Sam.  Her whole world was crashing down on her.  The boys, she has no where to go and yet it seems that she is making it worse...but she never did anything wrong.

Kate...I can not stand that Bitch.  Are there really girls like that in high school these days?  I hope they get what's coming to them bad.  I can not believe what they did and got away with it.

Melinda, I have a new found respect for her.  I hope she stays true to her words with Sam.  Sam needs someone else to be there for her other than Logan and Mason.  What she told Sam at 63% into the book...no truer words have been spoken. 

Now you may not want to read this part if you have not read the book yet.  63% and I really want to kill Mason.  I get what he is doing but this is really killing me here.  Sam has lied and so has Mason, I am just afraid that this right here is unforgivable.

Ok, Ok.  Now that I got that off my chest let me explain with out spoilers.  This book was filled with so much drama that I really took my time reading it.  Sam went through some really tough shit and it was killing me.  The poor girl, she is one of the strongest characters that I read.  between her Mom, David, Garret and old friends, how the hell has she not completely lost her mind I don't know.

Then Mason, I love reading his POV.  He really does love Sam with all his heart.  Everything that he does, he does for Sam.  Both him and Logan have made it very clear that where ever they go she goes.  But then there is one BIG moment that he changes things, really changes things.  

So needless to say i am on an official book hangover.  I just can not get this out of my system and I don't want to anyways.  This series just keeps getting better and better.  I wish that this was made into a TV series.  Then I could have more of my guilty pleasure.  

Then the ending........SHOCK, yes.  Then again I knew it.  Refer back to the first book, it was there Tijan had set this up for a while.  Now I just need to get through the wait for book 4.

FALLEN CREST SERIES BOOK TRAILER



EXCERPT #4

Kate’s sneer turned into a snarl. “You think you’re funny?”
One of the three added, “Maybe she’s taking lessons from Logan?”
Another snorted. “Probably. She needs all the lessons she can get.”
My smile had stretched from ear to ear now. It was genuine, too. “Is this another warning from you? I thought you moved past the cliché insults and name calling. Oh wait. You said lessons. Yes, that’s referencing that I’m dumb. That’s another cliché insult.” With my hand in the air, I lifted a finger with each point. “I’m ugly. I’m dumb. I have too much sex. Those are the three main ones most simpletons use to insult others. The clothes and the mannequin gave me hope. I thought you were starting to progress, but then I heard that you’ve already done that before. It’s recycled material. You guys need to find new stuff. You know what they say about comedians?” At their blank faces, I nodded. “What I expected. If they use old material, the act is boring. People move on. If you’re going to keep drawing fresh fear from everyone, you need new stuff.” I stood and patted Kate’s head. “You can do it. I believe in you.”
Logan stood by the door and held it open. Mason came in behind him. Both found me immediately. I wondered who had notified them, but then Kate grabbed my arm. She twisted it and got into my face. Her hand tightened on my arm and she lowered her voice, “You have until the end of the day to drop out of school. This is the last warning.”
A taunt rose to my tongue, but I swallowed it. The jokes were gone.
Three thoughts happened at the same time. David’s image flashed again. “Fuck it,” came next. Third, when I knew what I was going to do, I thought, “Let’s see how this goes.”
Kate’s eyes widened as she watched the myriad of expressions before she saw my intent. Her hand let me go, and she started to back away, but it was too late. My hand latched onto hers instead, and I took one second to comment, “Bet you weren’t expecting this,” I said before my other hand grabbed the back of her head and used all my body weight to slam her head into the table.
