Publisher's Summary

When 17-year-old Laurel Harper decides to go live with her estranged father and step-family, she's unaware of the fact that her fate was already sealed the day she was born. She is now exactly where some higher power wants her to be. But it's not until she meets the proud and mysterious Sam Laurens that she feels something strange is going on. 

Why does he keep interfering in her life? Then Laurel finds out about Sam's ominous ancestry and a whole different fear arises. Fear of who Sam really is. Fear of her own feelings. And when she learns the dark truth about her own future, a sinister secret that will change everything as soon as she turns 19, she wants to run and hide, but soon realizes that there is no hiding from fate. 

Sam may be the only one who can help her escape her destiny, but then she has to start trusting him again, and time is of the essence because he has his own fate to deal with. Still, Sam is determined to stop Laurel from meeting her doom, even if that means he has to make a drastic move that will separate them for good.

OMG what a rush

I myself usually don't do a review but this book had captured my mind at 100% had to force myself to stop it to go to bed. but after finishing the book which does leave on a cliffhanger, but OMG it was great, I have listened to over hundreds of books and I have liked a lot, but by buy far this is my favorite of all. the narrator of this book it's not the best one but she's good. and I have never listen to this author but she has become now one of my favorites can't wait till the next book.

I can't get enough of this story!

I've read this 3 book series twice. I love Sampson and Laurel. Sand takes you on an emotional roller coaster. she creates a lot of depth in the characters and the overall story. This is a must read! The audio version really brings the story to life. each chapter is told from either the point of view of Sampson or Laurel. I really liked that there was a woman narrating Laurel"schapters and a man narrating Sampson's chapters.

They made her too immature

Love the storyline, enjoyed the narrations, but I have never met an 18 year old that acts like a 10 year old! She had too much information given to her to still act so childish and naive. It took away from the story. Hopefully this changes in the next book.

A book for teenagers

I struggled to finish this book, and gave up at chapter 31. The interactions between the 2 main characters seemed very repetitive...I got bored of hearing it over and over again. I think this book would be good for teenagers, not so much for adults.
