Title: Wrecked
Series: Charming Knights #1 (stand-alone series) Author: Shana Vanterpool Genre: Upper YA Contemporary Romance Release Date: August 2, 201
Blurb:
Welcome to Charming High. Sorry, we’re fresh out of charm … Hallie: I am a star. I’m not famous, before you make that mistake. Although, I guess I kind of am. Or I will be anyway. My future was planned long before I was born. The definition of a star is a fixed luminous point in the night sky that is an incandescent body like the sun. I am a star. I am fixed. I am luminous only when no one is looking. I was stuck to repeat the same night every single day. Until I met Wreck. And he showed me how alive I could feel within my cage. Wreck: I am a knight. I’m not a knight in shining armor, before you start thinking I’ll save you. I am a knight in raging darkness. Until I met Hallie. And she showed me how to break free of my battle-torn armor. Wrecked is the first book in the Charming Knights series by Shana Vanterpool. An exhilarating upper YA contemporary romance series set deep in the lives of Charming High’s most beloved football team. Where the limits of good and evil are pushed, desires and dreams are twisted, and readers are immersed into the lives of people who have it all. Except their freedom…

Review:
I absolutely loved how messed up this book was. It was insane with all the controlling, threatening those the characters’ loved, how money-hungry some were. Then you had the kids who were so flawed … Wreck was not redeemable at all, except for his love for Hallie, which was REALLY intense and real-world scary. However, when you realize what Hallie meant for him, when you see his POV, you can’t help being okay with it, as Hallie eventually was. He is the most insane and dynamic character I have ever read. He was immature, a stalker, obsessed with one thing in life, and prone to screaming in people’s faces and ruining lives. And yet, he was fiercely protective and loved to the depths of his black soul. Oh, and Wreck’s real name … totally wrong. So wrong. I gasped out loud when I got to that part of the story. Hallie seemed pretty normal, though she did have the whole “I demand it, so let it be done” attitude. She was the most mature character in the book, yet she loosened up a bit for the first time in her life with Wreck. She was loyal, she had dreams, and she protected those she cared about. And I felt so bad for her in the beginning of the story. Not that I didn’t later, but her quick backstory in the beginning was so heartbreaking for a teenage girl. This book is not a sweet, HEA YA. The only thing YA about it is the fact that the kids are in high school. It’s dark, it’s depressing, it’s filled with troubled people and the extremes they will go to, to escape the lives they were born in. There are so many dark secrets revealed. There is underage drinking and drugs. There is violence and abusive relationships in all forms. It’s a wicked book. Wickedly good!
