Facing us isn’t a happily ever after book. It has dark tendencies, mystery, mafia?, alcoholic, rape, violence, and attempted suicide. So if you do not like those... maybe this isn’t the book for you. Konnor and Blesk are two characters that from childhood have faced unspeakable horrors and it’s amazing they have made it to college and are functioning adults for the most part.

I will say the first chapter sets a different tone and confuses the crap out of you once you get going. It doesn’t have anything really to do with the story but maybe the next one? That’s right it’s not the end for Blesk and Konnor.

It was good, sometimes I had to ask myself what more could happen to these two but then more did. I love Jaxon and Elise, they provide some relief to the dark and I believe are necessary. Good book!
