BLURB:
She was brainwashed into believing she could save mankind.
Now, she’s the one who needs saving.
Abandoned with his two younger brothers, Milo Vega was placed in foster care. Now a twenty-year-old high-school senior covered in gang tattoos and working as the school’s janitor, he is living a life vastly different from the one he was destined for.
When another foster joins the family, this one from the psychiatric facility, Milo’s skeptical. A rare genetic condition makes her unlike any girl he’s ever seen, and he wants nothing to do with the one he calls Ghostgirl.
Despite his reluctance, his protective instincts flare when she enrolls in school, and eventually, an unlikely friendship grows between them. When a tragic event snaps her fragile psyche, Milo is faced with the possibility of never seeing her again.
Unless he risks it all to save her.
REVIEW
Well... kinda speechless here... Very unique story, thought provoking, mysterious and just simply amazing.
JB Salsbury is the writer of my favorite MMA Series ever and i love how she's spreading her wings into something completely different. Loved it!
Milo is a 20 year old ex gang member who is trying to go straight. He was the prince of the gang and his life was mapped out for him before birth. He found himself and his brothers left alone after his father disappears. They go into foster care and adapt to a normal life. He goes to school to get some qualifications and a job as a janitor there gives him a chance to save some money so he can look after his brothers himself.
His foster parents decide to foster a girl named Mercy and bring her into the family.
Like Milo, Mercy's destiny had been mapped out. She was pure and made to believe she could save mankind. After being sheltered all her life she struggles to adapt to a normal teenage life. Nothing makes sense to her but she knows if she doesn't try she will be locked away again. She doesn't remember much of her past and maybe that's a good thing.
Milo feels a strange pull to her and they form an unlikely friendship that takes them on a journey of discovery and leaves them facing maybe an even worse future than their pasts.
SSSSSOOOOOO BLOODY GOOD!!! Honestly i loved every second of this book. It's so thought provoking every step of the way i had so many questions and theories i honestly don't know whats going to happen next. Not even a wild guess. I'm a huge mystery/thriller fan and this ticks all the right boxes.
It's a consistent pace that will leave you unwilling to put it down. I found myself stopping from time to time just to let things sink in and to try and figure out what might happen and then i'd read on and that theory would be blown out the water! lol I love a book that keeps me on my toes. So often you read a book and you know the formula, you've read it a thousand times over but this one? Nu Uh no way have you read this one before! Brilliant!
Mercy will have your heart cracking wide open. I'm imagining all sorts of things that have happened to her and none of it is good. She'll draw you in and make you feel everything. The struggle between her past and her present for her is huge. She goes on such a journey and i love how she embraces everything. She takes her time to process and then fearlessly goes for it.
Milo is just... I fell for him. Simple as that. He's so good. Even with his past you know he has a heart of gold for those he loves. He would do anything to look after them and Mercy gets pulled into his affections and included in his family. I was swooning all over the place for him. The way he is with her. The way he is with his brothers. And that darn accent... Swoooooon!!
This isn't a sexy story it's a love story that's building and building between two unlikely matched characters. You can feel what they have, from their first meeting there's a spark that ignites and it slowly grows bigger and bigger. I think by the time their story concludes it will be epic.
I loved the plot and the storyline. The writing is superb and draws you into their world. I can't stop thinking about what is going to happen next. I sincerely hope we don't have to wait too long for Saint because the puzzle is driving me crackers!
I can't recommend this book highly enough. One of my best reads this year and i'm certain the conclusion will catapult it to the top.
Genius!!!
5 Guera Stars!!
