Snatched by Blake Blessing

“Why are you all so pretty?”

It all started when I was six years old.
I was homeless.
They were held prisoner.

I saved them. Even though it put me in the system.
They believed we built an unbreakable bond forged by trauma.
These beautiful, damaged boys saw me differently than the rest of the world.

As much as I wished I could feel the same. I couldn’t.
These boys–men–had too much anger. Too much hate.

They wanted to burn down anything and everyone who had wronged them.
It was eating them up inside. I tried to warn them.
Instead of listening to me, they were set on destroying themselves.

And me in the process.

3.5 Heart Review by Lorena

This book was a little different for me. I am so used to either all of the characters being beautiful or some of them being beautiful and/or at least average but I have never read one where the girl was beastly like she was described in this book ... so yeah, very different. And for that matter, I don't think the boys had any interest in her (romantically), yes -- they were thankful and grateful to her for what she did for them, she helped them get out of that hell hole they were in at the beginning. These boys all were very unique and each one had their own demons they had to deal with.

The elements and premise to the story were pretty unique, which I totally digged and I am actually looking forward to keep reading the series as I am intrigued and I feel like it's just going to get better. I hope Cressida can actually turn from the ugly duckling to a beautiful swan and fit in with these boys (turned men). I know she has the potential to get there ;0)
