Save Me by Mona Kasten
4.0

Maxton Hall the show was such a huge hit.  Everyone talked about it and was watching it.  I started and got a few minutes into it but stopped.  I was hoping to read the book.  When I found out the original was not in English I was hoping we would get a translation and now we it is time!  In the end this book is the typical high school romance.  I can see why it did well as a show, and I am going to finally be watching the show after reading it!  I can see why it is placed in the adult romance genre there is definitely adult themes that run throughout the book.  There is spice, there is drug use, you get the picture.
While I did take German in college I do not speak or read it well enough to read this in it's original text.  I would say that the translation is very good.  
All said and done it was a good story.  I am definetly going to continue despite the ending.  Normally I would not with how it ended.  I get it it with the circumstances but to me that still is not an excuse for it.  I am still curious to see how this plays out and how James come back from it.  
Thank you to Berkley for the complementary copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
