Recommendation
She goes there. Finally, after reading so many books where the author stops just short of GOING THERE, J.A. Redmerski finally lets herself and her characters go to where you hope they won’t, but they do. No, I’m not spoiling anything, because it’s nearly impossible to predict the route they’ll be taking. And thank GOD for that. There is so much struggle for Bray and Elias, both in their relationship and in their lives outside of one another. Song of the Fireflies is one of the best emotionally taxing books I’ve read in the last year, and I can’t recommend it enough for those of us who enjoy reading deeply emotional books with intensely sexual scenes. [February 2014]
Publisher synopsis
THE TRUTH WILL SET THEM FREE
Brayelle Bates has always been a force of nature. Even as a child, Bray's wild and carefree spirit intimidated everyone around her. The only person who's ever truly understood her is her best friend, Elias Kline. Though every fiber of her being wants to stay with Elias forever, Bray can't bear the thought of him discovering her agonizing history. She's done everything she can to keep him at arm's length, including moving away. But their undying bond was too strong a pull to deny, and Bray couldn't survive without him. Now she's back home with Elias, and things have never felt more right-until one fateful night changes everything.
Elias vowed never to be separated from Bray again. So when she decides to flee in a desperate attempt to escape her destiny, Elias knows he must go with her. As the two try to make the most of their circumstance, taking up with a reckless group of new friends, Elias soon realizes there's a darkness driving Bray he can't ignore. Now in order to save her, he'll have to convince Bray to accept the consequences of their reality–even if it means losing her.
