Synopsis:
Picking a boyfriend can be murder, but for Annalisa Winslett, it might end up being the literal death of her.
No one at Pensacola High School suspects the girl they know as Annalisa McKinnis to be a wealthy heiress in hiding, but things begin to unravel when two new guys enroll. Both guys are gorgeous, and both are trying to win her over. The only problem is that one of them has a million dollar contract to put a bullet in her.
This book is the beginning of a wild ride in a trilogy that will make you wonder if the power of love can truly conquer all.
When her pure and innocent heart is offered to him, will this cold and empty hitman fall, or will he remain untouchable?
When my grandpa died, my mom thought he was murdered. To keep Kimmy, my sister, and I safe, she sent us here, to Pensacola.
Jewels and I were sitting in her car with the radio blaring when he pulled up in his 370Z.
I was used to guys hitting on me at my old school, but I never knew if they were after me or my money. At my new school, I downplayed myself and tried to stay under the radar. He seemed interested in me for myself. I was drawn to Evan, but I had no intention of getting involved with anyone from Pensacola. I would be going home as soon as we straightened out the mess back in Palm Beach.
I left school, only to find my car wouldn’t start . I was going to be late picking up Kimmy at her school. I panicked. Evan told me he could give me a ride, but no way was I going to let that happen. I didn’t want anyone knowing anything about us. I saw he was getting very angry and I began to feel the first inkling of fear. The custodian came and saved me. He popped the hood and saw the battery cable was loose. I know that doesn’t just happen by itself.
The next day at school I saw we had another new addition, Ryan. He was hot and, even though it was obvious Jewels was interested in him, he seemed more interested in me.
I finally broke down and invited Evan to church. I ended up blurting out my whole story. Still something about him scared me, made me not trust him. Then why did I tell him my secrets? Could it get me killed?
Which guy was good and which was bad, Evan or Ryan? Who cared for her and who wanted her dead?

4 STARS – Would Highly Recommend To Others
The cover is deceiving. When you read the book, it will become obvious why it was chosen, as will the title.
I was drawn to the book because it mentioned Pensacola High School. I thought, cool, I know Pensacola very well. I was curious to see if I traveled the same roads as Annalisa. We drove down Cervantes and Fairfield, the scenery very familiar to me.
The book started out like I thought it would. A lot of teenage angst. A menage a trois. l never saw the twist it took coming. Caught me by surprise, but drew me deep into their story. I began developing my own hopes and dreams for them. Then I began racing through the pages, eager to see what would happen next.
Annalisa was not a big risk taker. She was secretive. No one at school was wise to her capabilities; but she knew martial arts and could drive the wheels off most any car. She thought her mom was going crazy. She didn’t believe that her Grandpa had been murdered.
She had a voice like an angel. She sang Christian rock. I always think that is odd, Rock n Roll bands and church. But why not?
Evan was hot, but he seemed older than a high school student should be. More than once, Evan said something that would puzzle and scare her, but she never took the time to think it through.
Ryan was hot, too. She was suspicious of him, because he knew about rich people and Palm Beach. Did he know who she was?
Mentioned Hoobastank on the Ipod he sent to her. “The Reason” was the only song on it. I saw them at Amos Studio, at Pensacola State College. I had never heard of them before then and the first song they sang was, you guessed it, “The Reason”. I thought, small world.
This is an awesome book. I loved it. I thought the premise was ridiculous, at first. Then I thought of all the Criminal Minds I have watched. Didn’t seem so ridiculous then, because I love Criminal Minds and some of their storylines are way out there.
I read the Prologue for unforgivable. Now I have to know what happens. A must read for me. I am so hooked, even though I feel the journey they take would never happen in real life, only through the author’s words. But that’s cool. It is a book after all, fantasy and fiction.
I can’t give it a five, because of too many editing errors.
I received this book in return for an honest and unbiased review.
Quotes

“Maybe the old saying about keeping your friends close and your enemies closer came about because your enemies could sometimes be more interesting.”
“This could get ironic, the hitman gets emotional and the victim goes cold.”

The new Camaros are really hot. I love them. The Charger is cool too, but I gravitate towards Chevy.

Umm, I would take any car that had heat & didn’t break down….seriously, I would be completely ecstatic with a car that works ;-). But, if I could have my dream vehicle and be able to maintain its upkeep…..yep, you guessed it…..I would totally want a VW bus, that was rainbow colored*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)’･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*
I just had to go over and check out someone who wants a VW, especially a bus. I love it and I can see why you would want it. Thanks for following me and good luck. I hope I continue to see you cruising around my blog and the internet.
