I think within a few chapters you'd be able to tell if you feel the same. But that all only carries off if the characters are very present - in this they were for me. It works particularly well in RH because people already off the tragectory of societal 'norm' are more likely to consider alternative lifestyles, have different relationship expectations and needs and are less likely to assume happiness as a given or a right. This overall type of story works well in the romance genre because bonds forged in the fire or wake of mutual tragedy are strong enough to match the intensity the reader is supposed to believe for the timelines and scenarios. So that's the summary but here's more detail if I haven't convinced you yet:įor this style of book (RH, trauma story) it had a large amount of authenticity in the subtle details. So if you liked the early books in those series, you should love this - it has that blend of anomalous teen hardship, dark notes in the issues it tackles, and a strong thread of character and relationship building weaving throughout that brings the sweetness and makes it addictive and fun but also powerful. With Veil diaries done and long waits between Ghost Birds, this series promises to fill a very similar (beloved) place for me. This is what I needed in my life right now. Find Me is book 1 out of 4 in the series.*** Contains violence, graphic killing, foul language, and sexual content. ***WARNING This is a reverse harem romance.

It’s as if my lonely heart screamed out for someone good to find me. Little do I know that Colt, Creed, Keelan, and Knox will soon become my everything. The four brothers who live next door are even more so. I must stay strong and focus on the good. I know my future will be hard and lonely. I’m not fixed and my grief is heavy, but I’m at a point where I can put one foot in front of the other to try to move on. The present… My uncle, my only living relative, has helped me glue myself back together and given me the tools I’ll need to survive. Thanks to WITSEC, I’ve been given a new life with a new identity. But I got away and he’s still out there, searching for me.

All of them murdered by the man who has stalked me for years.
