In Ponderosa Springs, this version of Romeo and Juliet isn’t a tragedy. It’s war.
Jude Sinclair is West Trinity Falls’ favorite exiled loner.
Cocky. Insufferably hot. Family foe.
Raised across the tracks in a rival town, he reeks of trouble. Which is the one thing I’ve always had a problem avoiding and now that he’s just down the hall, it’s harder to resist the pull.
My father made one rule when Jude moved in, never trust a Sinclair.
The last thing I need is for my new foster brother to make me question my loyalty with his filthy smirks and poet tongue. But with every forbidden kiss and secret hookup, I quickly find myself faced with two options.
Betray my family? Or betray my heart?

I received this ALC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I have been really excited to read this author and I’m glad I was able to get in ARC of this book, since I’ll be seeing them at a book signing in October! And after finishing this, I’m already excited to read more. I, of course, didn’t realize that this was a second generation, so I’ll definitely be going back and reading The Hollow Boys series. I absolutely adore poetic writing, especially while reading romance books. It feeds my soul for some reason and this book did just that. This author did a fantastic job at really sucking me into the story. It was poetic, dark, great storytelling, and even greater characters. Jude and Seraphina go through it! Truthfully, I didn’t know how they were gonna make it out alive, but somehow they managed to. And boy was it worth it. I swear my heart broke for the both of them many times but by the end of it, it was put back together again. The audio for this book was absolutely phenomenal. Michelle Sparks and Liam Dicosimo really brought these two characters to life. I’ve never, that I can remember, listened to Liam narrate a book before and I really enjoyed his voice. Especially for Jude, it was a literal perfect fit. Michelle does a great job every time I listen to her do an audiobook. She literally never disappoints. Highly recommend listening to this book on audio!
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It took me a bit to get through because life is awesome and gets in the way of reading. But if I was able to, I probably would’ve read this in one sitting. I definitely need to go back and reread the first gen books and then come back and listen to this again.
