C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 8238 comments For some people, silence is a weapon. For Mallory “Mouse” Dodge, it’s a shield. Growing up, she learned that the best way to survive was to say nothing. And even though it’s been four years since her nightmare ended, she’s beginning to worry that the fear that holds her back will last a lifetime.

Now, after years of homeschooling with loving adoptive parents, Mallory must face a new milestone—spending her senior year at public high school. But of all the terrifying and exhilarating scenarios she’s imagined, there’s one she never dreamed of—that she’d run into Rider Stark, the friend and protector she hasn’t seen since childhood, on her very first day.

It doesn’t take long for Mallory to realize that the connection she shared with Rider never really faded. Yet the deeper their bond grows, the more it becomes apparent that she’s not the only one grappling with the lingering scars from the past. And as she watches Rider’s life spiral out of control, Mallory faces a choice between staying silent and speaking out—for the people she loves, the life she wants, and the truths that need to be heard.



Colleen Scidmore (colleensreadingadventures) | 968 comments I'm just about to start this. Seems like a good book can't wait!


Colleen Scidmore (colleensreadingadventures) | 968 comments I'm only on Chapter 3 and I can't believe how powerful this book is. I really feel Mallory's hurt. And I don't know much of her story yet. It is heartbreaking though how she struggles just to be able to talk to a person.


Colleen Scidmore (colleensreadingadventures) | 968 comments I'm now on Chapter 7. I'm really liking this so far! When Mallory is upset the words aren't coming I feel her frustration. I can't imagine how difficult this has been for her to start public school, but kudos to her for sticking with it!


Colleen Scidmore (colleensreadingadventures) | 968 comments I'm on Chapter 19. It is so horrible when you just get glimpses of Mallory's childhood before Carl & Rosa, it breaks my heart. And I know it's fiction but I know there are some foster children out there that get horribly mistreated, so it actually feels real as I'm reading it. I really wish I could just read this book the whole way through..it's that good. But unfortunately I am too busy!!


Colleen Scidmore (colleensreadingadventures) | 968 comments I'm on Chapter 22 and Mallory starts thinking about how she hasn't really lived yet and her canvas is blank and she's not sure what she wants to do. I can relate to this feeling, at one point in my life I was like that too, not sure where I was headed in life. I'm sure a lot of others have felt this way as well. It just makes Mallory's character relatable. I haven't gone through the horror she has, but she's still going through normal young adult issues, just with a little more intensity.


Colleen Scidmore (colleensreadingadventures) | 968 comments I'm on Chapter 28 and I feel so heart broken for Mallory. Everything was going so good and now she's mentally back it seems like to when she first started school, maybe even before that. :(


Colleen Scidmore (colleensreadingadventures) | 968 comments I'm on Chapter 37 and just about done with this book. I have to say this is going in to my favorite reads list. I love this book! I go through so many emotions while reading it. Fear for Mallory, happiness, tears, you name it I feel it!
