Allie and Haily are in college. Apparently so is Levi, Jarred and Owen as they share many classes together. This book like the first is attention grabbing. I had found it very difficult to put it down. I really enjoyed reading it as it helped to make the story even more alive to me.<\/p>\n<p>Allie is forced to make some hard choices in this book. She needs to figure out what it is that her heart really wants in terms of Levi or just to move on. Living with Haily helps her out a lot and then she makes two new friends, Anne and Tiffany. They all build a powerful bond with one another.<\/p>\n<p>The end of the book is breath taking, unexpected and one of those <strong>{I can&#8217;t believe I just read that}<\/strong> moments. This book has definitely left me wanting more and I cannot wait for the next book to be available.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Conclusion:<\/strong> 5 Star Rating. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"114\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature.png 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Synopsis} \u2013Freshman year of college is hard even when you&#039;re not tied to the future king of a supernatural society.
