Rate this book
There are two sides for every story.

For the first time, gathered in one collection, you can now read the short prequel stories Challenging Zed, Burning Yves, and Teasing Xav.

Challenging Zed - find out exactly what was going through Zed's mind before he has his run-in with Sky on the football field. Meet him first as a naive 9-year-old wanting to do good, and later as a cynical bad boy on a downward spiral.

Burning Yves - top of his graduate class and the one to give the leaver's speech, Yves seems set on a steady path of academic brilliance but a dull life. That is until a certain Phoenix rises from the ashes to steal his stuff...

Teasing Xav - Xav is a healer, but at what cost? Find out about the first major healing of his life and the disastrous consequences it brings. He might have to hide behind a white coat, but fate is about to send him spinning in another direction as Crystal shatters his life plans.

It was really fun reading the boys povs. I wish I could read more from Xav’s pov tho as his character is a lot of fun to read. Equally I loved the insight into their childhoods and the Benedict family before soul-finders
