Sometimes the darkness just has a tendency to consume you with secrets and lies. It pulls you down into the depths of itself and further away from the happiness and sunshine you once possessed. That’s pretty much what happened to me. First there’s Jase. He’s my best friend. If anything, he’s been the only life preserver I have to keep my afloat. Without him, I’d be nothing but consumed by darkness. Then there’s Lyss. She’s my other best friend. I love her to death, really. She’s amazing. After her is Hunter. He’s my boyfriend. He has a secret, though. A secret that has forced me to lie to everyone, even Lyss and Jase. Keeping the secret and lying to them has only brought me further into the dark. It spawned my own secrets and lies. My life changed from being something that I loved to dreading waking up every day. It also doesn’t help that I suffer depression. Now I’m fighting just to make it through. It’s getting harder and harder every day, and it doesn’t help that I’m practically drowning in all of the secrets and lies that have become a part of my life. But, what can I do? I guess we’ll have to wait and find out, and hope that I survive. *The only reason this is rated R is because of the language. It drops the F-bomb a lot...*

Second book in the Trust Me trilogy. (This description is a spoiler if you haven't read the entirety of Trust Me yet) After finding out about the plot for her murder and that her boyfriend is really a fallen angel, Ash Mara feels as if her mind is unraveling. There are so many questions left unanswered, so many things that make her feel less than out of control of her life, and so much driving her insane. She's not sure she's able to handle it. Aidan is determined to prove that Samantha, Evan, and Lexa have the wrong girl. He's positive that Ash isn't who they think she is, which is why he takes Ash with him on a road trip to find her father. Something in her family's past will determine her future, and whether or not it will cease to exist. Safety is still out of reach with attacks on her life coming at every angle, threatening to stop her before she can even defend herself. It's all too much for her to handle--the rules keeping her and Aidan apart, the murder attempts, the mind games--to the point where she's not sure she wants any of it anymore. And once a very important trust is broken, she's left wide open and vulnerable, with protection being the last thing she's capable of.

All Ash Mara wants is to get her new Camaro, and her job as an undercover actress is exactly how she's going to get it. People will pay almost anything to have someone they love brought to them, whether it be for a drug intervention, surprise party, or even just a prank. It doesn't matter to the business Ash works for, as long as they get paid and don't have to do anything illegal. When two teens around Ash's age come in and offer to pay her 700 dollars to track down a senior named Aidan Fosco, Ash can't say no. Despite the warnings from her friends Persephone and Brady, Ash takes the job and does whatever it takes to lure in Aidan and get her pay. Luring in a guy with trust issues isn't always the easiest thing, but as soon as Ash figures out what he's hiding, everything seems to come crashing down around her. When did this become worth 700 dollars? She wouldn't even have done this if someone had offered her five brand new Camaros. Too bad it's too late. The damage is done. Her life is on the line. And though Aidan has become the very thing she hates, she has to depend on him to keep her safe.
