I’ve learned that not everything is what it seems. If you start to look too close, you uncover things people don’t want you to see. It’s why I hide. It’s why no one knows the real me. But he sees me. He sees the darkness in my heart but he’s not afraid, because he’s like me. They say opposites attract, but we’re proof that like-and-like are a far more potent combination. Novalee Clarke is hiding from a past she wants to leave behind, and Jacen Kensington is running from his.The thing about hiding and running is eventually the thing you’re trying to escape catches up to you.

And when it does?

If you have never read a book by this Micalea Smeltzer chick, you are missing out my friends. This is my second from Smeltzer and it has solidified her place in my automatic purchase author list. The way this woman writes her characters is brilliant. They are flawed, dealing with harsh realities, but the drama and angst is something you feel without being overwhelmed. I am picky about my angst but this way of writing and communicating frustrations is the epitome of what readers want. Nova and Jace are brilliant. These two were hand carved for one another. They are broken with rough edges but when you put them together, they are missing puzzle pieces that clicks into place and the world makes sense.

Emotional. Healing. Humor. Hurt. Anguish. Hope. Each of these words is a vital part of this story. The more you learn about Nova and Jace, the more you love them. You mourn with them and cheer them to a hopeful and brighter ending. I loved that this book is constantly in motion. They are moving from one reality to a new unknown, learning to love with abandon and be in a relationship that is healthy and alive. Instead of mourning the loss of a family that never truly cared, these two have created a new “family,” one filled with people who support, cherish, and make them laugh. This camaraderie creates a space for these two to heal. I loved the journey of Nova and Jace, a story that is as passionate as it is heartbreaking. When your soul has been dead for so long, and you find something that brings it to life, these two learn to hold on tight and create a bond that cannot be broken.

I WANT MORE! I cannot get enough of these people and I am beyond ready for more of the gang in the Light in the Dark series!

What I remember the most about that day was that it was completely ordinary. Then with one stupid decision everything fell apart and nothing was ever the same.

Rae Wilder wants nothing but a do over—but life doesn’t work that way. She’s stuck living out the consequences of her actions. At times the burden feels unbearable.
College is supposed to be her second chance.
New place.
New people.
New life.
No one to know what she did.
Despite that, she has still vowed to avoid everyone and everything at all costs.
Unfortunately for her, an accidental run-in with the campus heartthrob, Cade Montgomery, derails that plan.
He’s determined to thaw the ice around her heart and expose the girl she used to be. He wants to show her that life is worth living for and that she really is a Rae of Sunshine.

 When Stars Collide (Light in the Dark #2)

All is not fair in love and war.

Hi. I’m Micalea. Ma-call-e-uh. Weird name, I know. My mom must’ve known I was going to be odd even in the womb. I’ve written a lot of books. Like a lot. Don’t ask me how many, I don’t remember at this point. I have an unhealthy addiction to Diet Coke but I can’t seem to break the habit. I listen to way too much music and hedgehogs have taken over my life. Crazy is the word that best sums up my life, but it’s the good kind of crazy and I wouldn’t change it for anything.
