Fallen Crest High (#1)I was constantly coming across this whilst browsing Amazon. Seriously, it was always there, and I always scrolled right passed it. Why? Because I thought it was going to be too YA for me. High school? Nuh uh. I didn't want to read that. I wanted something bad ass and gritty and full of sex. Heehee. It kept popping up so in the end, I got a sample. And then I one clicked for the whole thing ten minutes later. How wrong I was about this book! Yes, it's set in high school, so yes, there are some really freakin' immature characters. Background characters that is. The main three? Shit, I loved them! They. Are. Awesome.
Samantha, or Sam as she prefers to be called, receives the shock of her life. Her moms left her dad, and they're moving in with momma's new shiny rich boyfriend. A boyfriend who happens to have two sons. Two sons who rule the public school. Yup. They're rich and attend public. Sam? Not so much but she attends the Academy. It looked bad right from the start. We knew something was gonna happen.
Mason and Logan Kade answer to no one. Not one single person. They do what, and who, they like and when they like it. They don't give two shits about anyone else, not really. Until Sam comes along. At first, it seems the trio are going to avoid each other at all costs. Until Sams bitch of a mother turns on Sam. Mason intervenes, and it's decided. Sams theirs. And no one, but no one, fucks with anyone who belongs to them. That sound strange? Yeah, but it's the only way to describe how they are. Logan becomes the annoying step brother, and Mason? He becomes something else all together. I love this guys! heehee.
Throw in a cheating ex boyfriend, two very ex best friends, a new one who lives through other people and a crazy ass mother, and TaaDaa, welcome to Sams life! Now it's not all light teenage drama. Nope. When I said her mom was crazy, I meant it. It's insane!
Seriously though? I highly recommend this series. Ignore the whole YA thing, because truthfully, you kinda forget that they're in high school. There's some deep shit here. It's a strong book! And yes, I'm sure there were several issues with some of the writing, but screw it. I didn't give a damn. It didn't have any negative affect on my perceptions of the book as a whole. So so happy I finally decided to read this!
5Stars!
Fallen Crest Family
If you thought the first one was great, this one is better. Yeah, totally possible. More Kade brothers? Sign me up! **Sighs** I can't get enough of these guys. I started to read this pretty much straight after finishing the first. I was hooked. All those problems with Sams mom in book 1? Well, shit's about to hit the fan again.
These guys just can't catch a break can they? That said, we still get
everything we expect! Plenty of LOL
moments :) so it's all good.
It's safe to say, Sams mom is one super high Bitch. More so in this book than the first. Yeah, I didn't think that was possible either. I have no words to describe this woman. She is just dreadful! It's no secret that there are certain people who disagree with Sam and Masons relationship. But who in their right mind blackmails their own freakin' daughter? Oh yeah, Sams momma. You heard (read?) right. See, techincally Mason should not be sleeping with Sam. So Analise drops that bomb. Oh yeah. Stop seeing lover boy or the police get a nice little phone call.
I know a lot of people have had issues with how Sam is in this book. Sure, Sams a little, weaker, in this one, but come on guys! Who the hell wouldn't be a damn mess dealing with this shit? It's all good though. She pulls through! She puts The Bitch in her place eventually. **Insert cheerleader pom pom throwing here**
This one feels deeper than the first. We get to see the honest to god fucked up side of dear old momma. We see how Sam deals with her biological father. MmHmm. It's not looking so good for our girl is it? But, fear not! It does work out! Sorta.
So how is this compared to the first? Different, sure. Any less entertaining? Oh hell no! I adored this one. More so than the first. By far.

Fallen Crest PublicBadAss Sam Is BACK people! **Happy Dance** That one scene, the table one? I Squeeeed like a mad woman. True story. I even did a happy wiggle. Okay! Back on track..
To say Sams first day at Public goes badly is a serious understatement. It's pretty damn clear that while some girls want to be her (hello, being Masons girl is a dream come true there), some just don't like her. And the rest? They want to destroy her. She's had Mason and Logan fighting for and with her since the beginning. Now? Now our girl has to put on some big girl panties and prove that she can take care of herself. Oh yeah! That's it!
Now, not everyone likes this idea. Nope. Mason wants to solve every problem for her, so does Logan. And one big ass problem she has is Kate. We haven't heard the last of her! Did she ever learn that the thing she had with Mason was just sex? Clearly not. That girl is whacked. She is insane! What she isn't, is prepared for Sam to fight back. And then..Sam isn't prepared for a four to one beating.
Mason, being Mason, decides enough is enough. And he's gonna ruin Kate once and for all. Oh man, I don't want to write much more about this cause you need to read and experience this shit for yourselves. Honestly, it is amazing! I hated hi for it, I really did. I shouted at Mr Kindle so much. But then? I forgave him. How could I not?
And that ending? I was like..Wait, what? Why do you do this to me Tijan, WHY?!?! I was heartbroken. No joke, I wanted to cry. Because I love Sam and Mason. And I love Logan too. I want my Logan to have his HEA. I want Sam and Mason to have theirs too. So, Cliffhanger? I guess so. Am I going to stalk Tijan's Facebook and Twitter for sneak peaks and info on release dates? You bet your ass I am. I'm not ashamed to say it. I will stalk the shit out of her pages until I get the fourth book.
5 stars!!
**Sighs** I freakin' LOVE these books.
I've said it before, YES they are set in high school, but they are NOT your average YA read. At all. And if you haven't read these beauties yet. Why? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?
HeHe!
