Blurb

It’s the life I was born to live: billionaire’s daughters, living amongst the rich & famous. But my mom kept me a secret from my dad. Until now.


I am so out of my league. Fancy parties, expensive cars, and a private school for the elite… It sounds like a dream. But everything is not as perfect as it seems on the outside. Here, the secrets are dirty, and thelies comes easy.


Welcome to my fab life.


                                         


Review:

As you know, I am a fan of Mercy's Faded series. This book however is a whole other story! I loved it! I thought it was going to be more of a teen drama, but it ended up being so much more. I knew Mercy wouldn't disappoint! It is more of an NA series with suspense.

So we start off with Khianna moving from St. Louis to California with her dad, who she JUST met!!! He is a billionaire and her mom kept her a secret from him. Well mom could now be keeping one of her own. Khianna now has to start her senior year not only being the new girl, but into a life that is so far from who she is. She tries to fit in while still being her. She is a spunky girl who can't be pushed around and I love it! First impression are always the best and she makes sure her step-mom knows she is not her personal barbie.

You become consumed by this book from the beginning! Khianna is not only a virgin but has also never been kissed. I know some think the whole virgin thing is played out, BUT this is so different from others! She doesn't drop her panties for the first guy that looks her way, she makes them work for it!

Her and Ty (another one of the rich kids in her school) get close and fast! She plans on sleeping with him 3 months in at homecoming, but when do things ever go according to planned?

I wasn't sure where the story was going to go or end, but that made it that much better! The ending will be shocking! I knew something was going to happen, but I didn't expect where it goes. The ending isn't a MAJOR cliffhanger, but it will leave you with lots of questions. I was content with the ending though, its not in the middle of a major scene and you are holding your breath, but just enough to eagerly await the next book in the series!

You learn a lot about Khianna and her family throughout the book and some back-stories of other characters as well. I honestly don't know what direction the next books in the series will go and I really love that feeling! I don't like to be able to predict what will happen next. I hope we get to learn more about Toby and Ty's pasts.

I have some suspicions about a certain character that makes a bigger appearance towards the end... He is in the story from the beginning, but more so at the end. I have a feeling there is SO much more to his story and as much as I loved him and want his HEA, I also think he might be apart of it all. You'll understand once you read, I don't want to spoil too much! But I would like to get your takes in the comments below once you do; see if anyone gets the same feeling I do! I have no doubt that you will enjoy this book, it has everything; mystery suspense, lust, and even sex!


Rating: 5 stars

Excerpt: 

“You’re so hot, and sexy. I just… I want to lick you.”

I have no idea why, but I laugh. Hard. “You want to lick me?”

“Yeah!” Ty nods. “Can I?”

“Where?”

“Right here,” he answers, motioning around us. “I don’t care who sees.”

I laugh. “No. Where would you lick me at? Like on my body.”

Ty smiles. “Anywhere you want.”

Hmm… I’m liking this. “How about everywhere.”

Ty looks at me for a second. It’s then that I notice his eyes are glazed over. He gets a very serious look. “Have you been drinking?”

I nod, and put my fingers an inch apart. “Just alittle bit. Like half a cup. It was so gross, but I can’t feel my fingers.” I laugh, and poke his chest. “Can you feel that? I so can’t feel it.”

“What did you drink?”

I think for a second. Crap. What did Jason call it? “T… Tequila! That’s it! It burned my throat.”

“Who gave you tequila?”

“Jason.” The ground starts moving beneath me, and I grab onto Ty’s arm. “How is the sand doing that?” I look up to see it’s not just the ground. The palm trees are moving too. “Whoa.”

“Have you ate dinner yet?”

I shake my head, and feel dizzy from the sensation. Ty grabs me to keep me from falling over. “Oops,” I laugh again. “I think… maybe… I’ve had just a little too much tequila.”

Ty puts his arm around my waist, and I lean into him as we walk.

“You smell so good.” I sniff his chest. “Is it weird that I’m smelling you?”

“I am going to feed you, put you to bed, and then kill Jason,” Ty says.

“Awe,” I pout. “But I don’t want to go to bed.”

Ty pulls me inside the house, and we go to the kitchen. He hands me a slice of pizza. “Eat.” I take the slice from him and take a bite. He grabs a bottle of water from the fridge, and takes the lid off. “Drink.” I take a sip.

“I feel sick.” I put down the pizza. “I don’t want anymore food.”

“If you don’t eat, you will get a lot more sick,” Ty explains. He looks very angry. “I am going to fucking hurt him. I can’t believe he gave you so much tequila.”

I put my hand on Ty’s face. “You know what I like about you? Your lips. They’re so soft. And they taste so good. We should kiss more.”

Ty grins. “Oh, should we?”

I nod. “Yep!” I put my head on his chest, and he puts his arms around me. “I like it when you hold me, too. It’s the best.”

“I think I kind of like you like this.”

I giggle. Why can’t I stop laughing. “I don’t think I can feel my cheeks.” I touch my cheek, and feel nothing. The room starts spinning even faster. I’m about to fall when Ty scoops me into his arms.
