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!

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.

The book was cool. I honestly don’t feel any way about it one way or another. I like the FMC and the MMCs. Not completely sold on all the MMCs being brothers. I don’t like that it’s in a high school setting. Even after everything Shiloh has been through, she’s bullied throughout the entirety of the book and there are additional triggers/trauma. Shiloh was a little too comfy and trusting of the guys for someone who’s been through what she has. I also thought Logan would check up on her more. Like look at her camera footage or something. Overall, the book was a typical run of the mill high school romance except she has a stalker and multiple love interests lol.
