Is it heavy on religion? I'm not a fan of faith-based books but your book sounds interesting.
There is one scene that is. The female protagonist comes from a religious family and so her faith is a part of her. I don't think it's preachy at all. If you like Kassandra Kush or Lauren Kate, their books touch on religion but aren't pushy or preachy. Mine is the same. I hope that helps ;)Casey B
Ok I think I'll check it out. Adding it now.
Thanks! Let me know what you think after you read it! ;)
A coming of age story following Claire, a young lady struggling to find her place in the world after losing her mother to cancer.

While coping with the losses of her mother, home, friends, sense of safety and normalcy, Claire begins to pick up the pieces of her past, finding a new normal despite the darkness surrounding her.
While adjusting to a new environment, and the group of people she finds herself surrounded by, Claire is faced with several important decisions that will influence the path her life will take. Who can she trust? Who should she love? How can she survive? Forced to choose between Ethan's steadfast, mature love and the love of mysterious and dangerous Colin who appears. Claire learns the difference between infatuation and love. She becomes self-reliant and strong. Despite her newfound confidence, and the isolation in which she resides, evil is able to find her. While fighting against it, she reestablishes her faith in God and opens her heart to the possibility of love.
