Summary

It’s been a week since I kissed Rae after the State Championship game. And we haven’t said a word about it.

At least that’s the plan. Until everything comes crashing down.

After a summer from hell, the school year begins with everything up in the air. When we’re forced to face our feelings for each other, will we finally give in? Is she ready for this? Can we find our way to each other after everything that’s happened?

Summary

“I’m not sure it’s a good idea to fall for your best friend.”

No one told me that junior year is when everything would get complicated. At the heart of the complexities? My best friend, Aaron freaking Cooper—more specifically, my relationship with him. Whether I should have a relationship with him that’s more than friendship. Whether I already do.

Everyone else in our lives seems to think there’s something between Aaron and me—that we’re denying it and lying to ourselves—even my boyfriend and his girlfriend.

No matter what we tell them or our friends, it doesn’t change what they see.

But as the lines start to blur between friendship and more, I find myself thinking that everyone else might be right.

Then again, maybe it doesn’t matter. Because I’m not sure it’s a good idea to fall for your best friend. But I’m not sure it’s a choice, either. Which leaves me wondering if Aaron and I have ever been just friends, or if we’ve always been something more. And if we are, is it finally time to risk everything and do something about it?

I have no idea.

And that’s the problem.

I met Aaron almost four years ago when we were five years old. Since then, he’s been my best friend and my person. I don’t know exactly how to explain what that means, but my mom says it’s someone who gets you in a different way than everyone else. Someone you can talk to or go to about anything. All my friends are always there for me, but Aaron is always the one I run to first. So, I guess he’s my person.

Summary

Disowned from her family, shunned from her history and the next in line to quell a war she has no knowledge about, Marie takes on a series of foes as she explores the muddy waters of history, discovering that witches and demons have far more in common than she is comfortable with. 

***

I slid down one of the many alleys, my hand brushing the old stones that were melded together to form the wall by pure will alone. The history – the magick – the memories pulsed through my veins. The throbbing in my jaw turned from a sparsal flicker to a roaring thud that did nothing to quiet my nerves as I fought the flood of emotions that arose each time I came to this town – each time I came home.

Worse still, I couldn’t even slip away discreetly, because I felt the shadow of his presence trail behind me. Did he think I was oblivious? That I didn’t know he was following me? It wouldn’t be the first time I was trailed by a demon. 

“I can think of far more enjoyable ways to put that flush on your face.” 

My feet stalled of their own accord as I came face-to-face with Cort. Sighing, I resigned myself to the fact that this conversation would probably go the same way every other conversation I had had with him over the past few days. 

“What do you want?”

Review

I would not cower before them-would not allow their archaic traditions to control me.
