Guess the drama works. But, these books still aren't worth the time or $$.
• Hate the bullies. •Hate the lying, scheming whores who have such unfortunate power. •Despise the fact Sam is so easily manipulated and clueless. It's as though without Mason, she has half a brain and zero logic. •Love how much Mason loves her - that's her only saving grace, as well as the fact Logan, David and Garrett are also on her side and have love for/care about her. •One point five stars. The writer needs better adjectives, verbs and nouns to replace hot, throbbing, grin/grinning, groan/groaning, grunted, barked. Show, not tell though it's part of Tijan's writing style. Still, changing it up would sound and read better.
Sassy Sam is back!
I have to say, I really love this cover. It's exactly how I would view Sam when she's being a bada$$. She may have lost some of her spunk in books 2 and 3, but it's back! Man, am I glad it's back. I was getting sick of her just taking all the abuse from the psycho girls. My girl crush dimmed a bit when she didn't put them in their place. While I hated that this book had the Threesome Fearsome apart for most of the book, a lot was accomplished. I love that the author could have had several things come between Mason and Samantha and that she didn't take that route. Instead, she reinforced how much these two belong together and had them reacting in ways you want a couple to react in times of adversity. It also showed the growth in their relationship. I seriously love Logan. I can't wait until he finds his Sam. He deserves to have that same loyalty and love that Sam provides Mason. Logan is such a fun character that you just want to see him happy. This ended on a huge power play at the college and I'm looking forward to the next book to see what happens.
A little different from the previous Fallen Crest books
I have really enjoyed reading this series so far. Mason and Sam are great book characters. This book was a little different because for most of the book they are not together. If you're like me and enjoy the scenes with Mason and Sam the best, then this book might be a little harder to enjoy. As always, there is at least one totally crazy nutcase and the slightly less crazy characters in each of her books and this book was no different. This time we have 2 serious crazies, one already known to us, Marissa and a new one, Sebastian Park (or SebASStian). I have to admit though, I did not see Cra Cra Marissa coming. Even when she waited for him the 1st time after the football game I didn't see it. I knew she liked him and I thought she was just unsure of how to talk to him since it had been awhile since they had seen each other or spoken. The only problem I have with her books is that everyone is so serious & dark all the time. For example, Nate's frat president, the new crazy, Sebastian, had some unknown grudge against Mason, so trying to run him over and making it look like an accident is what most people would do, right?? lol. Even Logan who's tends to be more of the comedian, has been showing more of a dark side. The characters always have an ulterior motive, sometimes it's hard to keep up. I would like to say it would be nice to see people leave Sam alone for once, but then that just wouldn't be a Tijan book. And honestly, to see what's going to happen next is why I keep reading her books.
Sam was stupid and Marissa was delusional... Possible SPOILERS
Maybe I'm just getting tired of this series, but this book was just ok, not great. I really loved the first 3 books. But in this book, Sam took what Tate had told her and actually believed it. I thought we all knew that Tate is nothing but trouble. How could anyone have ever believed anything she says? And when it turns out that Marissa actually thought she had a chance with Mason when they hadn't even communicated in over a year, that was funny! So Sam agonized over this all year until Logan's girlfriend Kris got talked to by yet another "friend" of Tate's who also knew about the lie, and then Kris actually asks Logan if he does love Sam. I thought Sam was smarter than this. Sam and Logan have never had a romantic relationship, ever. Sam was so stupid... Anyway, I'm in the process of reading this entire series so I'll get the next book, but I'm hoping there will be an end to the series when we reach book 6 (whenever that happens). I've enjoyed until now, but this needs a final ending.
GREAT BOOK
I love this book and this series. It's a Young Adult series that can appeal to all ages. Samantha is a strong young woman with a lot against her but she has Mason and Logan to love and protect her. They have already been through so much so them staying together seems like what they should do, In this book Tate lets Sam know that Logan Loves Her and not platonically. This really messes with Sam's head. She doesn't know what to do about this problem. Sam's mother finally tells her who her real dad is. Sam is having trust issues with David so when Garrett shows up for a few days and then leaves again it really does a number on her. When Sam and Mason have trouble the whole dynamic of the books changes.
Fallen Fourth Down
I enjoyed this book but I still don't feel like Sam grew enough character wise. Logan has grown leaps and bounds, he's still the same guy underneath but you see multifaceted of emotions within him. You see him coping with losing his wingman to college and living without Sam. Mason has grown from hard unavailable man he once was to the overprotective boyfriend that let a broken girl in. Sam to me hasn't grown. Yes, she's letting people into her life again. She's learning to cope with living without Mason and Logan not being around everyday but in the end she's still broken. She doesn't know how to help herself. She keeps pushing always any parent that tries to get close to her. I get it. Being hurt on multiple occasions isn't the nicest feeling but at some point she needs to learn to fight back and help herself. She needs to stop leaning on Mason to hold her up so that she won't break. She realized it at the end of this book. Hopefully she can continue to develop in the next book.
Clears up a few things and raises others
After Tate dropped her bomb on Sam in the last book, I was nervous. I am not a fan of triangles, and one where two close brothers are involved is definitely not something I want to read about. The good news is that this gets somewhat resolved, but takes the whole book given Sam's neuroses. Although to be fair, she eventually starts to grow in that she realizes she needs to be able to hold her own and not put everything on Mason's shoulder. With him off to college, she does actually face some of the challenges and realizes that she is stronger than she was. I'd be happier if Logan did finally meet a girl that he can call his own, and actually mean it. It would definitely alleviate one of the things that Mason has to deal with, and in this one, an old issue comes back and again, gets resolved later, but a new one arises. I definitely want to see the 3 of them united to deal with that. Mason is still my favorite of the bunch. A bit too blunt, but at least he is consistent. All in all, I think this was a good book and addresses a few open issues. First, how will Sam's and Mason's relationship stand the test of separation for a school year, does Logan really love Sam, and how will Mason and Sam deal with Marissa being back in Mason's life. I didn't expect the issue with Nate nor a guy from Sam's past, but why not. There is usually more than quite a bit of drama going on in these books. I'm looking forward to the next one just to see how it all plays out at the university.
Omfg
Holy!!!!! Jesus. First I hate Tate!! The new Jackson character seems like a good buy plus hot. There for a minute I thought Mason and Sam was done!! They better not have happened! Which it didn’t. Logan cracks me up so much. He was so much more serious in this book. Sam and her running is something else. She uses it as a release. Everything going on with her dad is awful. I get where Sam is coming from he abandoned her when she needed people the most over her crazy mom. I’m actually happy that things are working out for Sam. Hate some of the new characters like Park. Love Matteo he is so funny and full of life. Also apparently a Fantastic twerker! Lol. The end drama was shocking! So glad the whole Logan loving her is out in the open. I really don’t see they every being more than family. She is absolutely in love with Mason you can see it in every book so far. Cannot wait to read more in the next book. Everything that is happening is a shock.
Such a good character. Good looking
Tijan is a master at creating obstacles and Sam and Mason face plenty in this book; some old threats, Marisa, Tate, old lovers; some new threats, Sebastian. And then there's Logan and what he may or may not feel for Sam. The friendship with Nate may not be as strong as they once thought. However inside threats may do the most damage to 'the family' With Mason and Sam both keeping secrets trust may be permanently damaged. This one was difficult because of the separation. I didn't believe that temptation would play a role in a possible break-up, but you never know what misunderstandings can arise when distance is placed between a couple and misunderstandings can result in endings. The family needs to be together to be strong. This book also made me see why Logan Kade had to have his own book. Such a good character. Good looking, loyal, amusing man-whore that he is there's a layer of anger, pain, and vulnerability that makes him irresistible. Kris is definitely not worthy. Sam could have been, but it had to be Mason for her. This book made it clear that Logan deserves his own happily ever after! The story keeps you anxious for all three from beginning to end. It's filled with more pain than good times, but not once do you lose faith in the bond that they all share. Somehow you have to believe it will work out. Ending actions set up a very interesting next school year. Great read.
That's what you call keeping a series amazing!
Damn!!! Tijan, you were born to be a writer. This is by far the best of the series. I loved every bit of this book, even the parts that annoyed me. I would give this book 100 stars if I can, but the limit is 5! Sam, she is strong and more determined in this book, especially with her running. Sam did annoy me when she kept secrets from Mason and Logan, especially Mason. I feel the only problem with Mason and Sam relationship is their communication. I think Mason realized that too about them. I know from reading and the actions from Sam how much she loves Mason and it was sooo amazing to read that, because it wasn't forced it was natural. I love Sam and Mason as a couple. They're my number 1 book couple of all time. Mason, he really is one of a kind. His love for Sam is just breathtaking. His loyalty and determination is just amazing. He had girls throwing themselves at him and he told them straight up that he has a girlfriend. There was no BS or wandering of the eye. I truly believed that Mason thought his battles was left at high school and in college it will just be football, school, and Sam, but he was wrong and had to deal with Nate, Parker and Marrisa. Did I mention how much I love Sam and Mason? Logan, he was just that Logan. He was the comedic relief in the story like always, but a much darker side of Logan came about. Whether it was because Mason was gone or because of something else I don't know. He really does love his brother and his "sister-wife" Sam to death and would do anything for them. I really hope that Logan finds his better half like Mason did with Sam. I hope he kicks Kris to the curb because she isn't for him. Nate, I've always been on the fence with Nate, but at the same time I always liked him. He definitely was going through an identity crisis. He was a prick for bringing Marrisa to lunch with him knowing the damage he would cause. He did redeem himself at the end, but he has a lot more ass kissing to do in the next book. I am actually shocked about Marissa being so cray cray, because man was she cray cray. The ending had me on pins and needles, it definitely changes everything and I am nervous and excited to find out how this will all end. Logan, he was just that Logan.
