Synopsis: With tears and a tight hug, Rylee Everley’s dad left for Afghanistan with the Army Reserve. Since his deployment, her mom has been distant, her sisters are constantly fighting, and Rylee, at
only thirteen years old, has to be the glue to keep them together. While her mother stays locked in her room, Rylee has been forced into the role of parent.
Now, two years later, a freak accident involving a bus at school
promises to restore some normality to her family. In spite of not knowing how their father is, her mother is happy and her sisters don’t seem to fight as much as they used to. Rylee herself is seeing more of her friends and is even trying to sort out her own feelings about Brock Parker. However, something dark threatens to disrupt that normality for personal gain, and that darkness is willing to break every rule to get what it wants.

Kylee's Review:
That awkward, quiet girl that seems to keep to herself...that would be Rylee Everley.
Rylee appears to be the "caretaker" of her family. Always trying to please everyone
before tending to her own wants/needs. With a father in the military, twin sisters
that rely on her for guidance, a mother that struggles with her "duties", and friends
who just don't quite "get her", Rylee has many conflicts to overcome.
Rylee begins to develop her independence and identify who she is and what she
wants out of life. She has her friend Lyla that has stuck by her and a guy "friend",
Brock, whowants nothing more than to protect Rylee and possibly be more than friends.
After Rylee discovers maybe she wants this too, in comes the barrier...Adysin. Something
about Adysin just isn't right. In Adysin's chapter, everything you thought you had
figured out so far in the book...is all shot to Haedes!!! And the story takes off like wildfire
from there, taking the reader on a whirlwind ride through new emotions, character
clashes, and a BIG REVELATION!
Seriously, I thought I had learned everything I needed to know in the first half of
the book. I pretty much had made my mind up about the characters; why they are
the way they are, where their character is going in the future. I was given the shock
of my life in Adysin's chapter and couldn't put the book down...I needed to rebuild these
characters in my head and get and understanding of where they were going and I loved
every second of it!
This series is going to be one NOT TO MISS! If you love reading a developing
independence of characters, a blossoming love interest, and that huge bit of mystery
intertwined...then this series is for you!
