Summary:

Jesse Lachlin is cursed. 

So the town folklore says, but while Jesse’s had his fair share of tragedy, the only curse he believes is in his grandmother’s will: in order to inherit his family farm he must win the approval of his childhood best friend, the girl he froze out his freshman year, Scarlett Copeland.

Scarlett Copeland is psychic.

Glory Gardner tells Scarlett she has hidden psychic abilities, but Scarlett thinks Glory is delusional. What is real is Scarlett’s father’s irrational fears, controlling attitude, and the dark secrets at home. Scarlett may have a way to escape, but there’s a hitch: she’ll have to rely on the one person she used to trust, the same boy who broke her heart, Jesse Lachlin.

Each midnight meeting pushes Jesse and Scarlett to confront their secrets and their feelings for each other. But as love blooms, the curse rears its ugly head… 

My Thoughts:

Katie Mcgarry is one of my favourite authors. After I read her Pushing the Limits series, I knew I wanted to read all the books she puts out.

There are some trigger warnings in this book. There is talk about abuse – physical and verbal.

This story was truly emotional in every way, making me laugh one minute and the next want to ugly cry. I love that about Katie’s writing style. She gets you right in the feels and the story resonates with you for a while.

Jessie and Scarlett both have gut reaction stories that they both have to over come, I won’t go into to much detail because i don’t want to ruin it for you. Jessie’s grandmother recently dies and in her will has left a piece of land to him but there’s a catch before he gets it. Scarlet lives with a abusive/controlling father, but will he let her follow her dreams? I think you all should check out there love story if your looking for a truly emotional read.
