At ten, he captured me. At fifteen, he consumed me. And at eighteen, he owned me.

This book is a dark disturbing WTF book. It starts with Fallyn being abused by her father and her mother just not caring.
Only while her father is touching her does she wish for someone to be able to help her. She sees a savior standing with her father and he cuts his throat
The rest of the book is living a lie and trying to find a place among the world and battling the truths.
This story grabs your attention and leaves you wanting to know how a father can be that heartless. The ending will leave you speechless and have you asking why just why did Giano have to do that. Can’t wait to read more about Angel and what she will do now.
OUTSTANDING BOOK, 5***** READ, I can not wait for book 2.
Fallyn broke my heart, How do I give a review without revealing any of the plot. All I can say is you need to go in blind, Do Not read any reviews that has spoilers. Chelsea Camaron with this book you have ripped me apart took me down a dark passage of my past, brought me to the light again, only to push me back into the dark with out once stopping for breath, I read this book in one sitting I couldn’t put it down. Yet that ending that I did not in anyway see coming, the ending in my mind was completely different I screamed and the word fuck was used a lot of times, I couldn’t believe you had done that Miss Camaron.
This poor girls life reads like a horror story, this author hs always been a wizard at putting me through the ringer. How long is it until book 2?.
I need to know what happens to Fallyn.
This is in my top ten of books this Year. This had Mafia my favorite genre, with abuse and intrigue, sometimes I didn’t know who was more confused me or the poor girl. The lies the betrayals, the heart crushing moments when this girl was scared and alone, that bastard of a father, her so called friends it was heart breaking at times, the story was laid out in such a way that you felt scared right along side her, you felt her pain and her suffering. I wanted to reach into that book and kill him myself.
YOU MUST READ THIS BOOKStay
4.5 Stars
This was certainly nothing like what I was expecting but I adored it anyway.
“Stay” tells the story of one tragic little girl’s redemption by a very unlikely saviour.
I didn’t find this a particularly dark read but it definitely had undertones with the physical abuse of a young girl prior to her liberation from the hands of the people who should have been her fiercest protectors.
In this, it’s Her Stranger that takes on the mantle of guardian and unexpected benefactor to a young Fallyn.
In her, this stone-cold hitman sees his second chance at protecting the innocence he still sees in her.
An almost second chance if you will after his life imploded so dramatically; ironically it’s his angel (Fallyn) that gives him a purpose to live for; I say ironic because considering his initial intention it really is.
So I really loved this and honestly didn’t see that ending; it took caught me completely unawares.
Though I do thing considering Her Strangers need to protect her things would have gone down slightly differently than they did.
After everything that Giano had done to shield and protect her, I can’t see him then subjecting his Angel to such tortures of the soul and scarring her with recurring memories for years to come; one thing was very apparent here her stranger loved her so deeply so I just can’t see it myself.
That is my only reason for removing half a star here.
This is told all from Fallyn’s POV and it was truly intriguing witnessing the slow metamorphosis from Fallyn to Angelina to the point the two identities merge into one whole new entity entirely.
I also loved the fact we are then treated to two epilogues an almost you decide scenario; I adored that and is it wrong that the darker of the two possibilities is definitely where my own choice was edging towards here.
So This isn’t a rainbows and ribbons type of story, it isn’t even a romance if I had to put a label on this it’s all about loss, redemption and temptation, finding a reason to continue the daily struggle that is life.
But where there is darkness there is also light and I truly believe that Fallyn was this for Giano, his redemption; And in a way, despite the conclusion here these two were each other’s, unexpected saviours, there for each other at a certain crossroads in life.
I’m actually welling up here just writing this review so deeply did this story touch my soul.
This is one bittersweet story that will stay with me for a while and am so very glad to see the author has decided to continue this enthraling saga I for one can’t wait to see where this goes.
A warning before I go this does very briefly at the beginning portray a scene of Fallyn’s abuse by her father; just thought I’d give a heads up in case anyone is triggered by this.
Thank you to the author for providing me with a review copy of “Stay” of which I have reviewed voluntary.
All opinions are entirely my own.
