Sheldon doesn’t care about anyone except Corrigan and Bryce. The three of them rule their school, but it seems someone else wants in on the action or that someone else just wants Sheldon. How many bodies is enough to prove their love to her? This book is dark and edgy with sexual situations, drinking, swearing, murder, and more messed-up parents.
This world wouldn’t be the same without Tijan books.
The author mentioned that this was the first book she self published, and this is the classic Tijan I love. Strong independent heroines and fiercely loyal friends and the family they make for themselves. I loved this book more than Fallen Crest though because I saw so much more character growth in Sheldon that I saw in Sam in the entire series. Sheldon had a bit more compassion and didn’t strike out at everyone. And sometimes it felt like trials were thrown out for Sam just to knock her down. Sam also let Kade and Logan do a lot of fighting for her. Sheldon takes care of her own situations and gets therapy. I wish we could see more characters like Sheldon! Maybe I have a girl crush?
I loved this book the first time I read it and even just this last week when I re-read it after a few years.
Sheldon, Bryce and Corrigan are the top of the food chain at their high school. Everyone wants to be them while they secretly are either scared of them or hate them. They don’t even realize the hold they have over all of the other students…well except for Corrigan. Corrigan knows he can sleep with almost any girl that he sets the charm on, except for Sheldon of course.
Sheldon is a beautiful rich girl who most would think has it all, except for doting parents. She is all alone in that huge mansion because he parents are all over the world jet setting without her, luckily Bryce and Corrigan love her enough to be her family. The problem is that because of the disconnect with hey parents she doesn’t truly let anyone in, that includes her two best friends.
Bryce is a super hot, alpha-male soccer player who rules the school with his silent ways. He too comes from money, but has a complicated home life and is in live with a girl (Sheldon) who has a hard time admitting her feelings for him to him, much less herself.
Corrigan is a normal hot, popular guy who goes through girls like runners drink water. He is best friends with both Sheldon and Bryce since they were young kids.
There is nothing these three wouldn’t do for each other, especially when a serial killer starts to stalk Sheldon. These two guys do all they can to keep her safe, even when she lashes out at them. There are so many different twists and turns and crazy neighbors, you never know who could be the stalker. I love that the ending didn’t leave us on a crazy cliffhanger like some of her series tend to do, this book is definitely worth the read…I’m off to continue onto Still Jaded (book 2).

Angst, Anger, Murder, Jealousy & So Much More!!
I loved this teen drama so much. It was full of everything you love & hate about that age group!!
Sheldon is a b*tch but only if you’re fake or are stepping on her boys Corrigan & Bryce – all bets are off then!! She had been, to all intents & purpose, abandoned by her parents, as soon as they thought they could legally get away with it. It’s no surprise she had built so many protective walls around herself after heartbreak like that!!
Someone, well more than one actually, is obsessed with her!! So much so people start getting murdered in her name!! She’s scared witless but refused to hide.
This book is full of emotion & suspense. You won’t always like the 3 main characters but you can’t fault their loyalty, Love & friendship – can you??
