A girl with a dark history…
Avery Bresllin took a leap of faith when she changed her name. As Avery Patterson, she is no longer the daughter of a serial killer. No longer the girl who was bullied and abused through high school. A fresh name and a fresh start at Columbia University means Avery can leave all that behind. There’s only one thing marring her dream of a clean slate….
A boy with a past of his own…
Luke Reid has a lot going for him: sex appeal, badass tattoos and insane musical talent. Despite his guitar skills, his calling in life has always been to serve and protect. A NYPD cop by day, singer in rock band D.M.F by night, from the outside Luke seems like he’s got it made. But falling for a girl whose father was accused of deeply sinister acts—a man whom Luke shared a devastating history with, himself—only serves to complicated things.
Pieces of a puzzle…. Four symbols, four methods of destruction. A trade. Borrowed wings. Dark secrets that threaten to destroy.
What a book.......
I'm going to start off with Luke, seriously LOVED him. Not only is he a cop, but he's in a freaking rock band. Not only does he play guitar, but the hunk sings. SINGS!!!
He's insanely hot. He could have any girl he wanted, sleep with whoever, but the only one as far as I can tell is his ex girlfriend, who I dislike. When he sleeps with Avery it means something to him. It made me want him a whole lot more. Luke is every girl's dream bloke, I'm telling you.
Avery is a lovely character, a bit hard at times to understand. Like the way she know's her friend is bringing shit up to bring her down but never calls her out on it, but then when she's with Luke, she does the same thing to him. She constantly bitched at him. But I understood why. She wasn't nasty to him. She was defensive always having her guard up, it was nice to see when Luke would turn it down.
I knew how the story line was going to go, all through the book I kept guessing on who it could have been etc. But wham bam, the author completely surprised me. The only thing that bothered me was the ending.... it didn't explain WHY people got killed.
Then there's the whole Noah situation. Nothing came of it and as there isn't any information given on BOOK two then I'm a little annoyed that it didn't get resolved.
ALL IN ALL .... I really loved the book and found it hard to put down once I picked it up.
