And I am sold! Fall Away has officially joined the ranks of my top series.

This book was amazing. From the beginning to the very end.

"Bully" had lots of angst. But Jared and Tate's story lacked true maturity. Madoc and Fallon's journey is completely different. It is completely devastating.

From estranged stepsiblings to part-time lovers, and back to the former, Madoc and Fallon have survived years of heartbreak and longing.

They were each other's first everything. At sixteen, they spent the day ignoring and hating each other, and the nights holed up inside her bedroom.

Then, completely out of the blue, Fallon left the house and went to boarding school. Madoc had her one day, and he had lost her the next.

Two years later, Fallon returns, determined to put her carefully-plotted revenge plan against her mother, stepfather and stepbrother in motion.

But there are two sides to every story. Each one of them manipulated into believing the other had abandoned them after all they had shared together, Madoc and Fallon are reluctant to open up their hearts.

The all-consuming spark between them remains, and it is raging into an enormous fire, hell-bent on keeping them together this time.

A steamy, emotional and soulful ride through the minds of two fascinating, complex characters.

And Jax! Oh dear, I need his book. Like, yesterday.

4 stars

Wow.

Definitely better than "Bully".

These are extremely high four stars, just so you know. More like 4,25 stars.

Being inside Jared's mind, learning more about his past, his relationship with his family, and how he and Tate left things, was amazing.

I especially adored reading about Tate and Jared's childhood and how their friendship developed into something more.

Besides, I got some more Madoc! He's hilarious. I absolutely cannot wait to learn some more about him.

About K.C.: I haven't made up my mind about her yet. But I'm leaning towards the negative feelings.

"Until You" instilled in me an urge to read the entire series. And I will.

So you fell in love with your former best friend, turned major bully, who ruined a whole year of your life?

So you went to France for a year? Ah, the mystical land. You bought things in France. You went on a few dates in France. Sounds like a fascinating place. Except it isn't a place, it is a goddamn country! And a big one at that. Come on, author, couldn't you name a single French city? Paris, Marseille... No?

This book got me all like:

Some things simply didn't make sense.

Jared's explanation for bullying Tate wasn't convincing enough.

The near dismissal of the entire year Tate spent studying in France was a downer.

However, this book had some good things too, otherwise I wouldn't have given it this rating.

I liked the fact that Tate wasn't a prim and proper, totally and completely innocent girl, even though she was a virgin. That's new in the NA genre.

Also, Jared was mostly amazeballs. Hyper intense.

My problem wasn't with their characters individually, but it related to the way they resolved things between them.

Still, this was a generally enjoyable read.
