I’m not your typical girl. I’ve been running away from the memories that haunt me for so long that depression has become my only comfort. I was content in the darkness… until Wes Michels offered to be my light.
I didn’t know that time wasn’t my ally — that every second that ticked past was one step closer to the end of something that was beginning to mean the end of myself. He tried to warn me. … warn me. He promised me all he was able to offer — each moment as it came — but it would never be enough.
Sometimes when you think it’s the end, it’s only the beginning. Wes thought he could save me, but in giving me everything, he ruined me. Because after one kiss, one touch, I couldn’t — I wouldn’t ever be the same.
And from that moment on, his heartbeat became my own…

Terrific book with all the feels!
Very enjoyable yet emotional book. I really liked this book overall, though in a way it gave me the same feeling I had the first time I watched the movie Titanic. I knew going in that the ship was going to hit that iceberg and the majority of its passengers would die, but I was still hoping for a …
Ruin (Ruin #1) was a great read by Rachel Van Dyken. Kiersten is running away from the memories that have haunted her for a long time. The only thing she has felt comfort in is her depression. That is until Wes Michals offered to bring her out of the darkness. Little did Kiersten know, each second could bring the end to her. Wes tried to warn her …
5 stars! Wow! I love RVD books but this one blew me away. This was more emotional than a lot of her books, but there was a lot of humor stuck in too. There were also a lot of inspirational lines that I can see myself hanging up on the wall. Wes was sexy and sweet making him totally swoony. I think I need an I heart Wes shirt! I also loved Gabe and …
I liked this book and it really gave me all the feels but man oh man was I hoping for more. Maybe that’s because I don’t read much YA but I was hoping for more depth from the female protagonist than I got. But I suppose she did alright for only being 18 years old. Very few of us had depth at that age. Anyway, I liked the storyline but I was hoping …
We meet Kiersten who is starting her freshman year in college. She’s had a horrible trauma and is still trying to “just live” even 2 yrs later. She literally runs into Weston who happens to be her RA. He sees something in her that calls to him to help her. He’s running out of time and wants to spend time with her helping her live. Overall this is …
*4 Stars*
Another enjoyable book by RVD. There are lots of things going on this book, with both main characters. They both have things they need to overcome, some that might be possible, and some that might not. They’re both also from very different worlds and whilst they want to get to know each other and be together, there are so many things …
As usual Rachel has written another great book. She is a good author and has wonderful storylines. I enjoy her books and the series. I recommend her.
I went into Ruin thinking it was a story about a football playing boy and his quest to get the girl. And it was but it was also so much more.
Rachel Van Dyken wrote a beautiful tale that many of us can relate to. We all at least know someone who has been affected by cancer. Cancer is a cruel bitch that takes and takes, and unfortunately at the end …
What a sweet, tear-jerker of a book…not at all what I expected! A lot of thought-provoking moments mixed in with the humor and smoldering sexual tension that just simmers between Wes and Kiersten. Although it got a little unbelievable towards the end I enjoyed this book- Wes and Kiersten, their friends and families, they all made this a really …
4-4.5 “Do it afraid” Stars. What an emotional rollercoaster. This book had me laughing, crying, screaming, and swooning in equal parts. There are so many layers to this book.
Kiersten has finally decided to try to live two years after the death of her parents in a tragic accident. She is constantly struggling to be “normal.” Her first step to …
This a wonderful love story. You can always count on Rachel Van Dyken to deliver an awesome read.
