SAVE ME AND I’LL SAVE YOU…
My name is Calla Price. I’m eighteen years old, and I’m one half of a whole.
My other half– my twin brother, my Finn– is crazy.
I love him. More than life, more than anything. And even though I’m terrified he’ll suck me down with him, no one can save him but me.
I’m doing all I can to stay afloat in a sea of insanity, but I’m drowning more and more each day. So I reach out for a lifeline.
Dare DuBray.
He’s my savior and my anti-Christ. His arms are where I feel safe, where I’m afraid, where I belong, where I’m lost. He will heal me, break me, love me and hate me.
He has the power to destroy me.
Maybe that’s ok. Because I can’t seem to save Finn and love Dare without everyone getting hurt.
Why? Because of a secret.
A secret I’m so busy trying to figure out, that I never see it coming.
You won’t either.
Dear Reader,
I once considered not writing this story. It was too dark, too twisted, too much, too, too, too.
Obviously, I changed my mind. But I re-wrote in four different ways first, trying to make it different, more easily palatable, softer.
It didn’t work.
So I went back to my original idea, the idea that I loved. The idea that I dreamed about and lived and breathed until it was done the way I wanted it, the way it has to be.
I know you’re capable of reading it. I know you’re capable of putting yourselves back together again when it’s all over. I have faith in you.
Is this story dark?
Yes.
It is twisted?
At times.
Will it slap you in the face?
Absolutely.
Will it have you flipping the pages, trying to figure it out, trying to get to the climax, trying to breathe?
God, I hope so.
I wrote this story the way it needed to be written. I couldn’t sugarcoat it. I couldn’t water it down. It is this way because the story demands it.
I’m not sorry.
By night, I am free.
No one hears my monster but me.
My freedom is fragile, though,Because every morningThe night is brokenby the sunIt’s a good way to die.
Well…hell…I’m a little speechless here. See here’s the thing, I don’t read YA. Ever. Or at least I don’t make it a point to since it’s not my preferred genre. But then I saw Courtney Cole was coming out with this book, and I didn’t even think twice before adding. I added it before it even had a blurb, just a note from the author. I didn’t care if it was YA. I HAD to read this. I just had to. And now I did, and you know what?
Yeah. I’m still freaking speechless.
Here’s what I can tell you about this book
Because even the most minor of details can be the most major of spoilers. The book is that cleverly woven together and twisted.
What I can tell you is that I was sucked into the story just from the very first page. I read it in pretty much one sitting, practically salivating for this BIG secret to be revealed.
At times I thought I knew where everything was heading, and then the author would throw me for another loop. My head was spinning by the time I finished.
This book just further proved the absolute genius that is Courtney Cole’s writing. And then that revelation at the end? Holy HOLY shit! I was stunned stupid. I never saw it coming in a million years. I had a feeling about a small part of it but nowhere close to how closely tied together everything was.
I feel it fair to mention that this is not a standalone but a trilogy. And the cliffhanger is there, and it’s one that will leave you with a bigger question than the answer that was revealed. It will leave you begging and crying for the next book. But that is all you’ll get from me. Do NOT read any reviews before reading this. This is a book that you must go into absolutely blind. Trust me. Now go on and read it so I have someone to bitch and moan to in my wait for my next fix….erm…book.
