 ** spoiler alert ** "Have you ever felt like a stranger in your own life? People talk to you, call your name … but none of it feels real. You’re just trapped behind glass watching your life simply pass by, one disaster at a time."

This book was a good start of the serie and I think the next book(s) can be five stars for me. I felt the deep conversations and caring for each other was missing a bit in this book. For example El wasn't feeling good and I wanted more of what the guys would do in that situation. Brooklyn is so sweet to Eli and I really feel like they understand each other. It makes me so sad to read that Eli even feels lonely and left out around the guys. He deserves all the love in the world. I also feel like we needed more chapters of him because he doesn't talk. I hope there is more of a background of characters in the next books.

I very very dislike Hudson (that is to but it lightly). His chapters were hard to get through, I hope he gets a lot of character development, What he did to Brooklyn is horrible and I don't like the way the guys just ignored that. With the whole "You're in or you're out. It's that simple." - Kade. I hate that Hudson doesn't respect her or treats her like a person. WHY THE F*CK DOES HE THING HE HAS THE RIGHT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT HER IN THE FIRST PLACE. I mean how disgusting is it to give her that nickname!

About Kade, I don't hate, don't love him either, he does annoy me A LOT. I hope he will grown on me Just because you can unlock a door doesn't mean you can disturb someones privacy and walk in. How scary is if If you can't even walk because you are drugged up and a couple men just walk in your room without knowing if they are safe in the first place. HERO COMPLEX, you can't save the world, begin with yourself.

Eli, I LOVE HIM SO MUCH, I really feel like he feels safe with Brooklyn and Phoenix, I mean those three AMAZING. At the moment I would have loved it if it would have been just those three. They have so many important scenes together.

Phoenix he downloaded music for Eli LOVE THAT! I'm really feel like they have a special connection. I really want to know more about Phoenix, I mean those last chapters were hard to read and they are probably also hard for him to get through.

My heart is ripped out about Brooklyn, shes been through so much and there is probably more about her what I don't know right now. So many people let her down, It's so sad that she went trough alone. Nobody to talk to and if she did, they betrayed her.

The Characters from 1-5 (Book 1)

1. Eli
2. Phoenix
3. Brooklyn
4. Kade
5. Hudson
