Trust
Gwenydd Reese is a foster child who has lived in more homes than any child should ever have to experience. Abandoned at three, she has seen everything there is to see in the system, the good and the bad. But she has survived. And now she is only a few months from aging out of the system and putting into action her plan to become her own person.
Gwen is moved to a new foster home, hopefully her last, so that she can attend an exclusive private high school that she lied and tricked her way into. This new family, the Langleys, have five other foster children living in their home, including Cei Crewe. Gwen feels an instant attraction to Cei. He seems indifferent, but every time she runs into some sort of trouble, Cei is there to save her. Is it possible that he has feelings for her? Is it possible that she has finally found someone she can trust? But Gwen is so close to her escape. She can’t afford the messiness of a relationship.
And then she begins to go insane. It begins with grass that heals under her touch. And then voices in her head whenever she sits under her favorite tree at school or stands on the widow’s walk that sits on the roof of the Langleys Victorian house. Then she’s attacked, or was it just a coincidence? Is she suffering some genetic psychological breakdown, or is there a different explanation for what is happening to her? And what is Cei’s role in this whole ordeal?

A very easy book to read full of mystery and adventure. Will read the next in series. It was a shame that it took almost the whole book to explain who Gwen and Cei are. Felt the story ended just as it really began.

I loved this book!
This is refreshing new take on the age old story of teen angst and self-discovery.
Gwen is a character that is remarkably believable. She has the right amount of skepticism, while still being able to absorb this fantastical tale of her existance. Although what she is hearing, seeing, and doing is quite insane, there is enough mystery to her past that she wants to believe just so she belongs somewhere.
Very well written, with a large amount of thought going into character description.
I can't wait for book 2!!!

This is a good story, but the inconsistencies with Gwen's character seem off to me. Out of necessity she becomes stubborn and guarded. Then suddenly she's fully trusting for a piece of information. Trusting of people how have lied to her from day one. It just seems off, to me.

Trust. It's a big word and not one that Gwen gives easily. When she moves in with her newest foster family she has no idea the things she will learn. This was a great beginning to a trilogy, and I was hooked from the first chapter. The characters run smoothly and the story line is fulfilling.

Loved the book
Look forward to reading the other books in the series. At least they aren't priced high. I hate when you read a good book and find out the subsequent books are priced high.
