My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book had me hooked from the start. This story took me on an emotional roller-coaster. I was angry at certain characters at different times while reading. I felt the hurt of betrayal and loss. I was glad to see Jasmine see things with a clearer perspective the further along we got. There were some unexpected turns in this story and the more I got to know James the more I started to like him. During most of this story I wanted to throw Cadence out a window (haha). Overall I enjoyed reading this story and look forward to reading more from this author.
