REVIEW:
Life was about breaths and heartbeats.
A smile.
A wink.
The squeeze of a hand.
Sunrises and sunsets.
The rest...it was all extra. When forced to choose what really matters, it all became so clear.
This moment.
The only moment.


Deep breath I have so many good feelings about this book!! I loved every heart racing moment of it! I loved the mystery. I loved the love story. I loved the angst. I loved the characters. I loved EVERYTHING!

Every time I start a new book by Jewel, I find myself snuggling in for the long haul because I know once I start, I won't be able to stop. This book was #unputadownable!! Jewel has this all consuming ability with her stories. I get sucked right into the book worlds she creates and am completely absorbed in what is happening, which in turn makes it impossible to put the book down. THIS BOOK was exactly that. The characters and the story were exactly that. ALL CONSUMING! Constant intrigue that had my heart leaping out of my chest, either from swoon-worthy scenes or OMG that just happened scenes. I was thoroughly hooked from beginning to end and I was left tapping my kindle screen when I read the last page because I NEEDED to read more. I NEEDED to know what would happen next.

"What is this?"she whispered when I eased her to her feet.
"I don't know. But I can't wait to find out."
Ronin....le sigh

I, of course, read the blurb, but that lent little to no ideas as to what was going to take place in this duet. It gives you a starting point, but honestly, I recommend you just go in blind. Trust me, it'll be worth it. You think you have an inclining of where the story COULD go after reading the blurb, but you're wrong. So wrong! There was NO WAY to predict the direction this story was going to go. And THAT is one of the biggest reasons I LOVE Jewel's books...they're unpredictable and utterly unique down to there core. I've NEVER read anything like this. Even as I was reading this book, my mind was too consumed in the STORY, the CHARACTERS, the JOURNEY, the EVERYTHING that is was impossible to think ahead and try to piece together what could possibly happen. I was too wrapped up in Evie and Ronin and their love story and the dynamics between all of the characters (Ronin, Evie, Graham, and Lila) in this story in general, that the mystery intertwined in the story, faded into the background. Of course, it was still an ever present piece that lingered and nagged at my mind throughout the story because Jewel's was giving me pieces of the story, pieces of the characters, that left me wondering where this story was going. I had an ever present foreboding feeling while reading...like "the other the shoe is gonna drop eventually" type of feeling. Those pieces I mentioned above started to come together...started to create one big picture, but yet Jewel being Jewel, left me questioning what I've read and what's to come in book 2. I feel confused, I feel scared, I feel anxious. I feel everything! I haven't figured out the BIG picture yet for this story, but I am dying to know where it is going.

I don't want to give anything away, so I am leaving it at that. Just take away from my review that I was CONSUMED by this story and these characters and I am dying for book 2, THE LIFE YOU STOLE.

Life wasn't easy. It wasn't always beautiful. Some days it was flat-out cruel. But...it was undeniably worth it.
