Fallen Crest High
by: Tijan
★★★★★5 Stars
Blurb ~ Mason and Logan Kade are two brothers who did their own thing. They were rich and expected to attend her school, Fallen Crest Academy. They chose public school and now Samantha has to live with them. The problem is that she doesn't care at all: about them, about her friends, about her cheating boyfriend, or even about her parent's divorce. But maybe that's a good thing. Maybe change is a good thing.
Review
Phenomenal. If I had to choose one word to describe this
book, that would have to be the one. This book is literally amazing, like
holding Gold. It sucks you in and holds so tight the End is like the loss of a
loved one, putting it down may cause tears to erupt. If you couldn't tell I
loved Fallen Crest High, hopefully my gushing has cemented the fact. This was
my second time reading it and it only got better. They may be in high school but they sure don’t
act like it and when things turn hot, they literally BURN and SIZZLE.
“Mason moved back and
whispered as his lips teased my skin. “You’re going to ride me long and hard tonight.”
It was what every girl wanted to hear.” - Sam and Mason
The title may make it seem like this is a YA novel and I’m
sure there are those that would argue but I’m going to have to say this book is
all New Adult. These kids are mature beyond their age because life has forced
them to grow up and take care of themselves. The hard truth is the three of
them (brothers Mason , Logan and their new step-sister Samantha) were not
exactly the apple of their parents’ eye. Samantha’s mom is one crazy lady that’s
for sure. How she can manipulate everyone around her and somehow get away with
it is both disheartening and sad. Caring for themselves became a way of
survival and being blunt, rude and sometimes an ass comes easy to them and
protects them from any more hurt. They may be in high-school but trust me the
drama these kids run around in is anything but immature or like what I've seen.
Sure they may blow things up, party like rock stars and sleep around, but
considering how absent everyone’s parents are and the shit life throws at them,
I’d say these kids are the future of America!!!
“You don’t care about
anything. It’s your ammo. You don’t give a damn and no one can touch you because
of it.”
Because this book is so Amaze-Balls and you should read it
for yourself, I’ll try and give a simple run down to entice you…. These kids
are crazy. Their home lives are anything but normal and though they may live in
a mansion, attend high school and party like rock stars, they are still just
young adults who are dealt more crap that most kids their age. Samantha’s mom
decides to up and leave her father, dragging Samantha with her. The two move
into her new beau’s house and Samantha realizes her new step-brothers are the
talk of the town. Logan and Mason Samantha are hated and feared by the boys in
town and fawned and worshiped by the females. Samantha seems to be the
exception to that rule. In fact, most of the time her mask of indifference is
blatantly obvious and she never lets anyone see her hurt. She hides all her
pain and runs it away, I swear I lost weight just reading about her going on
run and after run after run, her version of stress relief. Let’s just say there
is quite a divide between Logan/Mason and Samantha after she moves in. She not
only resents and slightly hates her mother for her behavior but she loathes her
new brothers and all the drama that surrounds them. When most people would brag
about living with them or get them in trouble Samantha does nothing. Literally.
“I was so sick of
hearing about the Kade brothers, either of them. And I tried to remember if it’d
always been like this, but I had never cared.” - Samantha
Obviously, this indifferent attitude (at least towards Mason
and Logan) shifts and the three become a unified triad. Not romantically (sad I
know, but they are just in high school). Samantha just keeps getting bombs
dropped on her regarding her life. Everything she knows and knew changes and
there comes a point where even running for miles will do nothing to help. Mason
is one hell of a band aid.
I actually really enjoyed watching Sam make new friends and
ditch the old ones. Out with the old in with the new really applies here.
However, even the new friends disappointed me such as Adam. He seemed like a
decent guy but as soon as things go the other way he turns into a complete ass.
And the way he treated his supposed friend and next door neighbor was sickening
particularly when he’s got his hands down the pants of some chick with Becky
sitting right there. Can we say EWWW.
This is just one of those great books that you either love
or hate. Most people would probably hate Logan, Mason and Samantha for being
spoiled, ungrateful kids, but Fallen Crest High really tells their story and
considering all the shit they've all suffered through, their parents are lucky
this is as bad as they are.
Overall
What to say beside LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE and LOVE this
book. Wanted it to go on and on like a mini-series. And though I think that’s
how the books will continue it’s refreshing that each book has a satisfying end
even with anticipation for more, there is no cliff-hanger. When the Kade
brothers decide to set their minds to something nothing stands in the way. Even
a steal wall reinforced with an army behind it couldn't stop them. And oh, man
when they tear in to somebody I swear my stomach got all knotted and I could
almost feel it like a tangible thing. Poor suckers, everyone should know not to
go against them. It was AWESOME!! Everything about this book is wild, crazy and
out of control. The men are bold, hot and practically famous. Nothing can stop
these three, especially when they are together and I can’t wait to see what the
future holds for them. (My only minor,
small, measly complaint is the errors. There weren't too many, but enough for
me to notice and start getting agitated.)
