Source I received a digital copy of this book for free on a read to review basis Thanks to HarperCollins and Edelweiss Of course he was high That s what this kiss was about And yet I couldn t stop This was an okay YA contemporary story, but it dragged a bit for me.Gabby seemed to be looking for trouble in this book, trying to turn pimps in to the police does not sound like a good way to stay safe, and she really did keep pushing the limits and feeling invincible, which was than a little worryin [...]

This was an interesting story and an interesting concept It basically follows Gabby an aspiring DJ, who is saved from being drugged at the club by a mysterious handsome stranger named X and somehow gets tangled up into a darker world of girls getting kidnapped, pimps and sex trafficking.The story was a quick read for me I think in a way the author was trying to spread awareness about this issue that s so big in this world right now, I just felt as far as the story went, it was a bit unrealistic [...]

You re a sweetheart It s because I love you I would never say it out loud, of course But even if I did, he was probably too drugged up to remember it tomorrow I sat down beside him I m sorry you got hurt It s my fault I m the one who wanted us to find Bree I was trying to hold back tears, but doing a terrible job of it Shhh, don t cry It s not your fault Come here He guided my face to his and kissed me Maybe he meant to soothe me, to comfort me But the slow kiss was agony, and soon spiraled out [...]

My thanks to HarperTeen Point of View Single Gabby Writing First Person Past TenseSetting MiamiGenre Young Adult Contemporary Another wonderful book about gang, drugs and sex trafficking by Allison van Diepen that I absolutely enjoyed Since I read another book by her based on the same topic, it didn t surprise when I ended up liking the heck out of it just as much as I did when I read On the Edge.While this book wasn t exactly the sequel of On the Edge, I loved that some previous characters reap [...]

This book was a disappointment for me and I m beyond sad right now.If you read my review of On the Edge, you will remember that I absolutely loved it and it was even in my 2015 favorites list When I learned that there would be a spin off sequel and my babies from the previous book would be present, I was ecstatic I couldn t be happier, you get me But this book, naah I mean, I should have known I would not like it because the jacket material was different than the first book s and I didn t like t [...]

I ll be honest, I enjoyed this story a lot than I was expecting too I read the first book in the series, On the Edge and I did not like it I decided to give Light of Day a chance because the synopsis intrigued me and I was not disappointed It was also a quick read, which I always like I loved X He was so mysterious and original He was the leader of a gang and he literally had a heart of gold I loved what he and his gang were trying to accomplish I really liked X and Gabby together She was fun, [...]

3.5

Some books and I hit it off, and some books and I just aren t meant to be.

Gabby and her friend are saved by a mysterious stranger when someone tries to put drugs in her friend s drink Turns out that there are bad people who are kidnapping attractive girls and turning them into prostitutes Gabby finds out about Mister X, and ends up falling in love, even though they are from different worlds This is a classic romantic suspense book lots of action and suspense surrounded by an aura of love and angst Teen girls and their moms will eat it up.

Ok so I read the first book loved it,read this loved it too now I m quarter of the way through the third and am enjoying it as well.All the characters are different in each book,but each book has a different tale and each gritty and hardcore and end in a twisty love story.Each book is so well written and so gripping and edgy I just love each book.I never can wait for the next.

I liked this book than I liked the first one in the series, On The Edge Although, I didn t find the fact that Gabby and X fell in love so quickly realistic If the book would ve been a little longer, so that they could learn about each other would probably make it better.

Gabby and her friend are out dancing at a club when some mysterious guy warns her that both her drink and her friends have been tampered with and the guy they are talking to is not up to any good Gabby is able to get her friend away and stay safe, but when she talks about what happened on her radio show the mysterious guy shows up and says its too dangerous to talk about that His name is X and soon Gabby needs his help finding one of her old friends who has gone missing.

3.5 StarsHuge thank you to the publisher for sending me a copy of this to review So I didn t read On the Edge even though I have an eARC of it and now that I know that this was a companion I might go back and read it someday If you ve read OTE, then you ll be happy to know that Lobo and Maddie made an appearance in this book This book and OTE both have the Destino gang connecting them, just fyi.Anyways, I rather enjoyed this book I wasn t too sure about it when I got a copy of the publisher, but [...]

First, I would like to thank the publisher for the advanced copy of this book I received this copy in exchange for my honest review.I have mixed feelings about this book Overall, the main character, Gabby, is a smart girl She catches on fairly quickly although, at the most crucial times when she should and it seems obvious, she does not She doesn t overreact, which is a huge plus because this often leads to unnecessary and time consuming drama But there are a number of things about the book that [...]

Well, I m not sure this one was as good as the first book in the seriesThis book is a companion novel to On the Edge and follows a new couple, Gabby and X One night, after sneaking into a club, Gabby and her friend Maria narrowly escape their drugged drinks after a stranger warns them Gabby soon finds out that the man who tried to drug them was going to kidnap them and force them into prostitution Things pretty much go back to normal until Gabby s ex friend Bree doesn t come home from a party on [...]

Originally posted on City of BooksLight of Day is a companion novel to On the Edge, as both books are set in the same world and feature similar premises But this can be read as a standalone, even if you haven t read On the Edge I ve read both, and I think I enjoyed this one a little .Gabby is introduced to the seedy side of the city when she takes it upon herself to find her missing friend, who has apparently become part of a prostitution ring according to the mysterious guy Gabby meets one nigh [...]

Before I even started this novel, I knew it was going to be good Allison Van Diepen is by far one of my favourite authors, and she never fails to amaze me with the stories she writes Each urban novel she creates contains the perfect balance of mystery, drama, suspense and romance I really love the fact that Light of Day has such a realistic story line and characters Allison Van Diepen not only creates a great story, but she also informs her readers on issues that happen in the real world when sh [...]

Heart pounding, page turning urban romance A companion novel to Van Diepen s ON THE EDGE, this contemporary romance and mystery novel is told from the point of view of Gabby Perez, a high school student who loves her friends, her family, and her weekly talk radio show Gabby uses the airwaves to raise awareness of a growing problem in her community girls being drugged, kidnapped, and trapped into prostitution When one of Gabby s close friends disappears, she takes matters into her own hands, rega [...]

I am a huge fan of this author s work, basically having read every book she has ever written While I did not know this before reading it, this book follows up the first book in this series albeit very minimally which was a nice touch.Gabby is a wonderful main character At first, I thought she was headed into the usual bitchy rebelling against my parents, but this was not the case She was smart, goal oriented and a fun character She wants a career in radio, she wants a shot at her passion She has [...]

When I saw this book my first thought was what a cheesy cover But since it was in the new book shelf I picked it up to see what it was about and it didn t sound too bad A friend who disappears and probably was kidnapped to be forced into prostitution What I expected was some type of exciting thriller which explores the dark side of Miami What I got instead was a cheesy romance which just fits the picture perfectly.The whole story seemed very artificial fabricated and not very realistic I had the [...]
