After I was finished I found myself thinking about how much I wish I wasn't finished. Can't wait until book 2 comes out!
It's about a girl named Saba who lives with her twin brother Lugh, her little sister Emmi and her Pa. They live in a wasteland. A world that was destroyed by the previous civilization. But Saba is happy as long as her brother is there. That is pretty much all she cares about. Then one day a horrific storm arrives and brings with it robed horsemen who proceed to take Lugh away. Saba and her Pa try to stop them but are not able to. Saba vows to get Lugh back no matter what. And this is where the story begins. I really enjoyed reading about Saba through her point of view. I loved watching her grow as a more stronger, responsible person. Actually, I enjoyed all the characters. Each one I either cared about or strongly disliked.
It seems that through most of the reviews on this book the most disliked part of the book was the "language" it was written in. It is Saba's POV and because of this (and possibly the little education she has) it is written in a kind of "slang hick" language. Personally I enjoyed this. Thought it added a bit more to the book. It didn't distract me. I think the first few pages I might of struggled a bit but was totally immersed after that. My suggestion would be to pick up the book and read the first chapter and see if it is your cup of tea or not. If you can handle the way it is written then I would say to devour it slowly because it will end before you know it and you'll probably be wanting more.

I absolutely loved this book! The way the characters were written and the flow of the writing made it impossible to avoid getting sucked into the story. I felt the emotion of each character and could clearly see this story as Rachel Smith expertly laid it out in front of me. I cried, I laughed, I yelled....I fell in love with this book! If you are looking for the type of book that makes you sit in your own driveway, car running, reading on your phone for over an hour because you have to find out what happens next (yes, I did that!),  I would highly recommend you read this book...Can't wait to read what this author has coming out next!

I truly fell in love with all the characters.  I couldn't put it down for one second so I recommend to everyone to read this book.

I absolutely loved this book! Jaylene is a tattoo artist living and working in New Orleans, and is asked by a good friend to stay with a rock band for two weeks, to tattoo them, and hopefully get them back on track with their music writing after a tragedy. And she does, and she meets and falls in love with the bands lead guitarist named Devon. I became so engrossed in this love story, and these characters, that I wanted to be right there with them! This book is fantastic! I also loved all of the references to the eighties, the music, and the movies. Being an eighties kid, I can relate. I also loved all of the references to new music, and Devons band, Maggies Bones, would be a band I would listen to! I was excited to see what was going to happen with Jaylene and Devon, but at the same time I didn't want it to end! I truly hope there will be a sequel. I will definitely keep this author on my to buy list!

I absolutely loved this book! The characters grip your heart and I could identify with Fiona's desire to create something of beauty after what she'd gone through. And yet, she doesn't seem to do it. Why? I felt like she maybe didn't believe in herself enough, and I cheered her on! This is a fantastic book, one you'll surely savor.

I absolutely loved this book! Thank you, Sara Ney, for starting this series, especially for writing this book. I read How To Date a Douchebag: The Studying Hours a few months ago and really enjoyed it. When I saw this book came out, I figured why not? Well, let me say, this book was even better than The Studying Hours and it may be the best Romance Ive read in a while!

Zeke and Violet are complete opposites. Zeke is the douchiest of douchebags and I thought it was going to be hard to see the good in him. It was, at first. Violet on the other hand is incredibly kind, to the point where I couldn't understand where all the kindness came from. These two characters sound unbelievable but Ms. Ney does an incredible job of painting both their pictures and making both their lives and stories credible.

I like how Jameson and Oz from the first book stick around in this one, not just as passing ships in the night, but in a real way thats important to the story. I also like how Ms. Ney doesnt tiptoe around Zekes awfulness- she created a douchebag and saw it through. But even better, I like the formation and progression of Zeke and Violets relationship; it certainly isn't insta-love/lust and there are real setbacks throughout the progression due to Zekes douchey-ness. But obviously, love wins out over everything and Ms. Ney wraps up the book in a way that left a big smile on my face.

I cant wait for the next book to come out and for more of Ms. Neys writing in the future!

I absolutely loved this book! I almost couldn't put it down. :) I have it on my Kindle for Windows 8, and so when I was reading it, I kind of knew what was going to happen, and then when I thought it was the end... it was only half way through. I was so happy and excited that I wanted to finish the book all in one sitting, but unfortunately with everyday life, that didn't happen. This book does kind of go into a little detail, which I wasn't expecting whatsoever, so I think that if you kind of have that mindset about you, or know in advance, then it won't necessarily through you off. When asked how I would describe the characters, I would say developed in a complex sort of way. Overall, loved the book, loved playing it out in my mind, loved the twists and everything that helped the book be what it is.

I absolutely loved this book! I didn't want to put it down. I had to know if Yara was ever going to get her sh*t together and if David was really in love with her. This is the first book I've read by Tarryn Fisher and I'm excited to read more from her. This story was laid out beautifully in clever dialogue and concise descriptions. Tarryn Fisher was very creative in how she pulled the story together and the cover is the pretty bow to such a wonderful present.
I wanted to hate and slap Yara at times. But I was rooting for her too. There is something very relatable in her. She had be second guessing David's love.
I think my favorite part was the ending. I appreciated that it ended with Yara's mother because that is also how Yara's story started. I will definitely be buying the paperback version. It is worthy of my personal library!
