SAVE ME AND I'LL SAVE YOU.... 

 My name is Calla Price. I’m eighteen years old, and I’m one half of a whole.
My other half-- my twin brother, my Finn-- is crazy.

I love him. More than life, more than anything. And even though I’m terrified he’ll suck me down with him, no one can save him but me.

I’m doing all I can to stay afloat in a sea of insanity, but I’m drowning more and more each day. So I reach out for a lifeline.

Dare DuBray.

He’s my savior and my anti-Christ. His arms are where I feel safe, where I’m afraid, where I belong, where I’m lost. He will heal me, break me, love me and hate me.
He has the power to destroy me.

Maybe that’s ok. Because I can’t seem to save Finn and love Dare without everyone getting hurt.

Why? Because of a secret.

A secret I’m so busy trying to figure out, that I never see it coming.

You won’t either.

EXCERPT


Glancing up, I suck my breath in when I find dark eyes connected to mine, eyes so dark they’re almost black, and the energy in them is enough to freeze me in place. 
A boy is attached to the dark gaze. 
A man. 
He’s probably no more than twenty or twenty-one, but everything about him screams man.  There’s no boy in him.  That part of him is very clearly gone.  I see it in his eyes, in the way he holds himself, in the perceptive way he takes in his surroundings, then stares at me with singular focus, like we’re somehow connected by a tether.  He’s got a million contradictions in his eyes….aloofness, warmth, mystery, charm, and something else I can’t define.
He’s muscular, tall, and wearing a tattered black sweatshirt that says Irony is lost on you in orange letters.  His dark jeans are belted with black leather, and a silver band encircles his middle finger.
Dark hair tumbles into his face and a hand with long fingers impatiently brushes it back, all the while his eyes are still connected with mine.  His jaw is strong and masculine, with the barest hint of stubble.
His gaze is still connected to mine, like a livewire, or a lightning bolt.  I can feel the charge of it racing along my skin, like a million tiny fingers, flushing my cheeks.  My lungs flutter and I swallow hard. 
And then, he smiles at me. 
At me. 
Because I don’t know him and he doesn’t know better. 

 
 
   



REVIEW


Words cannot express just how freaking amazing this book was.

A dazzling masterpiece that held me captive and kept me on the edge of my seat from the very first page, it was spectacular in every way. Courtney Cole has created a twisted web that will keep you guessing the entire time – and when you finally reach the pivotal moment that will change everything you thought you knew, you will be stunned. And then, that ending!!! I now believe that Courtney Cole loves torturing her readers, because leaving off where this book did was wrong on so many levels but also so very brilliant, and I need the second book now!

My emotions were in complete turmoil as I read this book. My stomach was in knots, I felt jittery and by the end I was totally shattered. I felt everything this book threw at me as if I were walking the fine line Calla walked every day. I felt lost, alone, happy, sad, scared and so much more.

When this book was announced, Courtney Cole said that she had once considered not writing this story. Thank goodness she did. This dark and gritty suspenseful read was stunning and deserved to have been brought to life. So thank you Courtney!
