I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Faith Herbert is a pretty regular teen. When she’s not hanging out with her two best friends, Matt and Ches, she’s volunteering at the local animal shelter or obsessing over the long-running teen drama The Grove.

So far, her senior year has been spent trying to sort out her feelings for her maybe-crush Johnny and making plans to stay close to Grandma Lou after graduation. Of course, there’s also that small matter of recently discovering she can fly….

When the fictional world of The Grove crashes into Faith’s reality as the show relocates to her town, she can’t believe it when TV heroine Dakota Ash takes a romantic interest in her.

But her fandom-fueled daydreams aren’t enough to distract Faith from the fact that first animals, then people, have begun to vanish from the town. Only Faith seems able to connect the dots to a new designer drug infiltrating her high school.

But when her investigation puts the people she loves in danger, she will have to confront her hidden past and use her newfound gifts—risking everything to save her friends and beloved town.

Short and Sweet

Faith is your typical teenager, she usually spends her time hanging out with her two friends Ches and Matt, volunteering at the animal shelter, or obsessing over her favorite show The Grove. Over the summer Faith discovered she has the ability to fly and it might just come in handy especially when people and animals in town start to go missing.

Characters

Faith: Faith is our main character and she’s a pretty normal high school senior. She cares about those she loves and I liked that she always tried to be there for everyone. Over the summer Faith went to a “camp” and came back home with the ability to fly, she’s still getting used to her new ability though.

Matt and Ches: Matt and Ches are Faith’s best friends. They hangout all the time. These two keep Faith grounded and they are who Faith go to when she needs help. These two mean well and I love the friendship that the three of them share.

Dakota: Dakota is an actress from the Tv show the Grove. She seems pretty down to earth and friendly. She didn’t act like she was too good for anyone just because she was an actress.

Romance

Faith and Johnny: Faith and Johnny are in journalism class together. These two like each other but they don’t act on their feelings. You can tell that they like and care for each other. They went on one date but it ended short. I would be interested to see where their relationship goes or if it would even begin.

Faith and Dakota: Faith and Dakota meet at the fair and ever since then they’ve been spending a lot of time together. There was obviously chemistry between the two and I liked that they got to know each other and felt safe sharing things about their lives with each other.

My Thoughts

~ So, Faith’s parents died in a car crash, now she lives with her grandma Lou. I loved the relationship that Faith and her grandma had they just love each other so much! I felt for Faith when she learned that something was wrong with her Grandma.

~ Ches is on a journey to become a better student so when she starts to become distant Matt and Faith just think it’s because she’s stressed but there’s something that Ches is hiding from them.

~ Faith is a huge fan of The Grove and even has a blog dedicated to it. So it was a basically a dream come true when she meets Dakota, and through Dakota she meets other members of the cast and gets to tour the set.

~ People and animals start disappearing in town and honestly this mystery worked well and it also gave us a glimpse of Faith’s time in “camp”

~ I love the pace of this book, everything just worked. I loved the characters and I was not expecting some of the things that ended up happening.

Overall

I loved the mystery aspect and how the story progressed. I would love to see how Faith progresses with flying and seeing more of the characters! I’m excited for the sequel and to see where things will go with this series, this was a great start!
