What does it feel like when you die—in those final moments? Do you feel the physical pain, or just the pain of your regrets? What does it feel like when you realize you can’t answer these questions because you’re not the victim?

You’re the killer.

River Daniels lives an ordinary life as a high school junior growing up in the confines of rural Texas until her boyfriend’s brutal attack leaves her both a murderer and a fugitive. When River’s closest girlfriends come to her aid, they make a hasty decision to not only help her, but leave their own troubled lives behind and join in her escape. The girls manage to elude police for months, but with every near-miss, River’s life spirals further out of control, until she finally hits rock bottom. Realizing she must stop endangering her friends and find evidence proving she acted in self-defense, the girls decide to make a risky move. River must face her ugly past and the one person she was protecting the night her world caved in, the guy she has loved for as long as she can remember.

Abbie and I will be reading this on January 10th 2014.
Everyone welcome ☺

This sounds like it could be an awesome read. I'm in on reading it on the 10th :)

That's fab ☺

Starting now. :)

Chapter 1 - (view spoiler)[ So sad. :( (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 6 - (view spoiler)[ Logan is a nasty piece of work. Can't stand him. (hide spoiler)]

I so did not sign up for this book to read about (view spoiler)[ her horse dying!!!! why did the author start the book with this :( (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 10 - (view spoiler)[ They obviously haven't read many books. Dying and cutting your hair to be unrecognizable doesn't usually work! (hide spoiler)]

I know! (view spoiler)[ It's so sad. :( (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 11 - (view spoiler)[ Creep. (hide spoiler)]

chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ tell her what? about ranger dying? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 11 - (view spoiler)[ Does she really think it's a good idea, to play cards with creeps that use drugs, at the place where she might be working?
Actually, does she really think it's a good idea to be working at all, until she knows her disguise actually works? (hide spoiler)]

chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ nice boyfriend. not. (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 2 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ He's a jerk. (hide spoiler)]

chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ her baby brother drowned? OMG. I'm not surprised she can't forgive herself! (hide spoiler)]

chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ is she really getting in the car with him when he's drunk? that's stupid.

and chapter six being called 'assualt' - does not look good. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 19 - (view spoiler)[ I'm enjoying this one, but the main character can be a bit stupid with her decisions. (hide spoiler)]

Abbie wrote: "Chapter 6 - [spoilers removed]"

I'm kinda glad that (view spoiler)[ he's dead! (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "Abbie wrote: "Chapter 6 - [spoilers removed]"

I'm kinda glad that [spoilers removed]"

Me too! Haha.

Chapter 26 - (view spoiler)[ You can tell who Logan learnt the ways of being a nasty piece of work from. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 27 - (view spoiler)[ I'm liking this, but it seems so long! (hide spoiler)]

chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ what the hell are they doing? this seems ridiculous. (hide spoiler)]

Abbie wrote: "Chapter 10 - [spoilers removed]"

It's a bit of an obvious thing to do.

i'm kinda bored.

chapter 16 (view spoiler)[ they were bound to regret it at some point. (hide spoiler)]

Abbie wrote: "Chapter 11 - "

pretty darn ridiculous.

chapter 18 (view spoiler)[ how lucky that the random bloke they ended up working for just happens to have connections at the airport, and enough money for flights for three people, never mind that she's just randomly decided she's met her father. not impressed. (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 18 [spoilers removed]"

Yeah, that part was a bit ridiculous.

chapter 19 (view spoiler)[ its been obvious from the first darn page that river and justice wuold get together, i just wish they'd get on with it. (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 19 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ That name is so ridiculous for this book. She wants Justice, and she wants justice for herself. (hide spoiler)]

It feels like the characters names are wrong way round. river is a boys name, and justice would sound better as a girls name.

Chapter 23 (view spoiler)[ I don't get why he didn't just arrest her either (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 29 (view spoiler)[ oh yes, breaking and entering sounds like a great idea. Not. (hide spoiler)]

This is so slow :(
