"Kemmerer will melt your heart and blow your mind." --#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout
On his own
Thomas Bellweather hasn't been in town long. Just long enough for his newlywed mother to be murdered, and for his new stepdad's cop colleagues to decide Thomas is the primary suspect.
Not that there's any evidence. But before Thomas got to Frederick there had only been one other murder in twenty years.
The only person who believes him is Charlotte Rooker, little sister to three cops and, with her soft hands and sweet curves, straight-up dangerous to Thomas. Her friend was the other murder vic. And she’d like a couple answers….Answers that could get them both killed, and reveal a truth Thomas would die to keep hidden.
The more they dig, the more it seems the only way they'll hear the real story is from the source--the killer.
Not the kind of future plan a college recruiter likes to hear. But then, the better it works, the less likely either of them is going to have a future. . .
I generally stay away from YA books, but thought I'd give this one a go because of the mystery angle. I enjoyed the mystery part, and the twist was a little bit out of left field, but still OK. The romance part is where this book was a letdown. Maybe I was expecting to much for a YA book, but I really didn't feel any connection between the H/h.
I thought the author did a good job with Thomas's POV, I enjoyed him as a character a lot. Charlotte on the other hand came across as a little to perfect, and weak. I just couldn't connect with her character at all. Don't even get me started on how much I HATED her entire family. If her brothers were on the police force of my town, I'd seriously consider moving! Oy vay...
I also think it ended rather abruptly, so I am wondering if there is a second book planned?
So over all, the mystery was decent, the romance lacked feeling, but it was an OK read!
