I really enjoyed this one, though it seemed to drag on a little in the middle. Definitely focuses more on her relearning to live than the actual scary portion that you might expect from a book surrounding witness protection. I suspect that will change in the next book though, so I'm going to start the second today!

This book had me hooked from the start. I feel so bad for Shiloh, no one should go through what she went through. This book was written amazingly, and you could feel the fear and sadness yourself while reading. I adore the brothers, but Knox needs a good knock on the head for being a dick. I can’t wait to keep reading and see how Shiloh grows. 

Read on Kindle.

This series has to be read in order because all 4 books are a continuous story, and it starts here with Find Me. In this one, we meet Shiloh as she moves into a new home, returns to society, and hopes to live an everyday life. Her big goal was to complete high school since she was forced into hiding before she could graduate. Things were kind of fast-paced because we quickly learned that Shiloh's not your average senior; she's actually in WITSEC, and the person who murdered her family is still out there. So even though her goal is to live a boring, everyday life, she is forced to constantly look over her shoulder and keep everyone an arm's length away. However, her new neighbors are going to test that boundary. Her new neighbors are four brothers; the two youngest are twins in the same grade as Shiloh. They fall so hard for her; seeing them fight over her is so much fun. But in this book, things are really laid back as they're all trying to figure each other out. It's a little unusual to see a high school senior move into a house alone and live her life independently. I kept wishing they were all in college instead of high school, but this first book was the only one I was on the high school train. We saw the most high school issues in this one, which made the most sense. The other students, especially the girls, bullied Shiloh hard. Most of it was due to jealousy, but she didn't back down, which also painted a target on her back. But this first book is my favorite series, even though it is slow-burn.

i haven't read much romance... but this suffers from the same things that others i've read do. poor editing, weird pacing, and characters that are... a lot. ends on a cliffhanger and the plot is interesting enough that i'll probably continue the series, but just know that this isn't like... a good read. definitely quick tho, and did it's job - which was get me to finish a book while in a reading slump.

I really enjoyed it, I was apprehensive since Shi is only 18 and still in school whereas I prefer books for older characters but the writing is solid and the characters are lovable.
