Truth, like love, isn’t always obvious.
Seventeen-year-old Ruby Brooks has never had a boyfriend. After moving to small-town La Luna, New Mexico following her mother’s untimely death, boys aren’t even on her radar. Ruby just wants to forget the last horrible year and blend in. But when she discovers an ancient pueblo ruin hidden in the forest behind her house, and meets Ezra, a bitter recluse whose once-perfect face was destroyed in an accident he won’t talk about; Angel, the town’s handsome sheriff’s deputy, and Leo, a stranger who only appears in the forest, Ruby finds herself caught between love, mystery, and other worlds. What happened to Ezra’s face? And why is she so attracted to the one boy in town everyone despises? As Ruby unravels her own powerful connections to both Ezra and the pueblo ruin, she’ll learn surfaces are deceiving. Especially in the heart of New Mexico, where ghosts and legends aren’t always just campfire stories.
Review
3.5/5
Ruby Brooks is 17 years and has just moved to new mexico with her aunt. They decided that ruby could use a new scene after losing her mother. Her first meet does not go well but she is in awe of the beauty. Ezra has had his own share of bad luck. His accident has left him physically and emotionally scared. Him and ruby become an unlikely pair.
Honestly it was a well written story. You felt like you were there without feeling like it was over described. I really didn't like Ezra, but that seems to be the normal male lead grows on you thing. Ruby grew into a brave, amazing person through the story. Definitely an interesting mix of history and supernatural.
