Atticus comes off as fearless, confident, and impossible to read.
Truth is, he's giving up, lashing out at the world for letting him down. The grief of losing his brother, the violence he carries in his hands, and the weight of a destiny he never chose to have backed him into a corner with no way out.
Until a late-night taco run.
He doesn't want to notice Miles. But he does. And following that pull, unknowingly becomes the most dangerous thing he's ever done. More dangerous than the fights, the fractured family, the secrets he's determined to bury with himself.
Bruised skin. Bloody knuckles. Smashed car windows. Scared hands.
What do we sacrifice for the people we love? What do we hide to survive the people who are supposed to love us?
Loud Silence - Book Two runs parallel to Book One, but this time, we're on the other side of the glass. Face-to-face with the monsters.

He knows he's attractive and he owned it with confidence. P.J. Sinclair is the captain of the swim team.

Straight lines, blurred boundaries
"I don't know why, but I found myself staring at Brodie. His messy brown sun-bleached hair, his tanned skin, the way his tank top clung to his chest. He was wearing board shorts, just like me, but somehow he looked... different. I must've been staring for too long because he caught me. His green eyes met mine, and instead of laughing it off, he stepped closer. Our dancing turned... well, suggestive. We were moving against each other in ways that would definitely get us kicked out of any family-friendly venue. Our hands were going up each-others tanks, and down the waist bands of our board shorts. But the crowd loved it. People were shouting, clapping, and whistling. That was all that mattered, right? Surely everyone knew we were just messing around. Brodie was like a brother to me. Right? I should've stopped him. I should've laughed it off, stepped away, something. But I didn't." Brodie has been Havens' best friend for as long as he can remember. They've faced every challenge in life together. But when boundaries are blurred and everything takes a turn, Haven doesn't know what to do.Complete
