Synopsis
After a tragic accident, Araya Noelle is left with a constant reminder that nothing is forever.
Instead of dwelling over her loss, she plays the hand she's been dealt without
complaint. In a world as black as hers, there's no room for bitterness, no time
for regret. Sheltered from the outside world, Araya has become suffocated by a
life she has no control over. Until Ryland Dare comes crashing into her life.
You don’t know true darkness until you've felt the light…
Like a firecracker, showering her with colorful sparks of freedom, Ryland
quickly sweeps Araya away from her dark existence. For the first time since the
accident, living in darkness is no longer something Araya wants to do
willingly. Unleashed by the shadows of her reminder, being with Ryland, Araya
touches light. Together they will learn what it’s like to be alive for the
first time.
At the edge of darkness, a ray of light, will dare them both to live.

Excerpt
The storyline is extremely intriguing and character interactions are perfect. I think Araya is such a strong person and I truly respect her. After her life crumbles around her, she still continues on without regret. Ryland is super dreamy. I'd love to have him in my life. They are super cute together and he really does love Araya. The ending is super sweet ;)
I really love the way the chapters switch between characters. I'm a huge fan of getting into the character's minds as reading. It gives the reader different perspectives while reading and I felt like I was there. However, I'm not a fan of the same situation being repeated from both sides and that happened a couple of times, but nothing major and the story still progressed without stand stills.
Overall, I give this book a 5 out of 5 for a tough topic that was written very well and I really loved the characters personalities throughout. Thank you so much Melissa for allowing me to take a look into Araya and Ryland's lives and I can't wait to see what is to come. Great job, you rock!!! :)
