From the Ashes
The only thing Dakota Quinn has known thus far is survival. After a tragic accident that left only she and her brother behind, it feels as if they’ve never stopped running. And for the first seventeen years of her life, they’ve managed to make it work. Until one small slip-up causes their cover to be blown, landing Dakota on a one-way trip to California.
Now, on her own for the first time in her life, Dakota finds herself in a group home, amongst a trio of girls with stories of loss strikingly similar to her own. Finley Brown—an eccentric girl with an unthinkable past; Gia Dawson—an outspoken rebel who’s landed herself on probation; and Ryland Moreno—the foster kid raised by the system, disabled after an accident that tore her from her previous home. Paired with a hardened exterior and a unfamiliar magnetism, Ryland quickly catches Dakota’s attention—whose curiosity always seems to get the best of her.
However, they can only run from their pasts for so long, and whether it shows up on the front doorstep or haunts them in nightmares, all four girls are forced to face the events that have brought them together in the first place. Despite their differences, they find themselves relying on each other in more ways than one. And for Dakota, there’s something different about Ryland. After running for as long as she can remember, she’s suddenly met with a pair of brown eyes that ground her, pulling her in like the tide.

I loved this book.
This is a very powerful book. The plot follows four girls in a group home. They have never had a break go their way. The friendships, alliances and love between them gives them the strength and courage to raise above everything.

I wanted to really like this book I did, as I've loved the other series by this author. But I just wasn't feeling it. I can get past the few grammar issues, however the story kind of dragged for me to where I was bored. Don't get me wrong, it had it's cute moments and I did push through to finish, so, it wasn't bad. Just okay.
I do love the little message at the end though.

Good stuff
Nice book. All of her works are good and worth checking out.
Blue is probably my favourite which is a hard decision to make since all her books are great.
