About this listen
He'd never guess that his very courage to commit could be the cause of his own downfall.
Jake's loved and lost, suffered failed relationships and felt real sorrow, but the new girl in his life may be just the one to finally put an end to that life.
His girlfriend, Samantha, is sweet and kind, full of joy, and the kind of girl Jake can be perfectly content sitting in complete silence with. It's so comfortable and easy to fall completely for her. In fact, Jake would do anything for Samantha, anything at all.
Just having returned from attending Samantha's family reunion, he's high as a kite, basking in the realization that he's been officially accepted as one of the family. He can't believe his luck, especially as he's driving off into the sunset with Samantha herself and so looking forward to those precious, anticipated moments alone with her. What could possibly go wrong?
A thumping noise resonates from the trunk of the car as they speed along the highway together.
Thump, thump.
He falls head over heels for her but not exactly in the way he intended.

My name is Jemma Blackburn, and I have a secret. I know vampires are real. I watched one murder my father eight months ago, and even though they tried to convince me it didn't happen - that I'd lost touch with reality due to the trauma, I know what I saw was real. Hollow Hills is now the place I call home. It was supposed to be my chance at a normal life. My chance to bury my secret and start over.

There's Hudson, a small-town mechanic who is willing to throw away his dreams for true love. And Bree, a runaway who seizes every Tuesday - and a few stolen goods along the way.

Story
I wanted to forget him so many times. Erase the memories we shared and pretend he didn’t exist. It would have made his absence easier to accept. Lucas Rivers broke my heart more than once. In my world he was my guy, the one I’d grow old with and laugh with. But things aren’t that simple, and time changes everything. That naive girl with dreams of happily-ever-afters was gone. I didn’t need a man to complete me. I was enough - no, I was more than enough. I was strong and determined. I was Madelyn Emery and never again would a boy break my heart.

There's something in the back of my mind that I can't touch, but I can't shake it, either. It's urgent, important, but I just can't quite...remember.

The Mother Road is intended to help me reclaim myself. Letting go of my past, I’m only looking forward to the path ahead of me.

When Emma moves to Astoria, Oregon, she is given two rules: #1 - don’t cross to “their” side of the street. #2 - don’t mess with the elites, especially Lexen Darken, top elite and resident bad boy. While she finds this both weird and insulting, Emma has no actual intention of breaking these rules - until her guardians go missing. Now all bets are off. Only a single line separates her side of the street from the elites', and she's crossing it.

The United States has experienced its share of turmoil over the years.

Never before has the United States been subjected to widespread coordinated terrorist attacks, devastating enough to bring the entire nation to its knees. Until now.

Not everything is as it appears
Not everything is as it appears in this short story. There were a few things about the story that didn’t make sense (like why did she wear a white dress? why’d she leave her sweater in the trunk?) but it kept my attention from start to finish, with plenty of unexpected surprises. Once again, Justine Avery doesn’t disappoint!

Kind of disappointing
Although it was a good short story, (20 mins max) I’m a little upset that I bought the audio book thinking it was a full size book. The sypnosis sounded great. It really had no point to it though. Disappointed

This surprised me
I listened to this while doing some work and was actually genuinely surprised by how this one turned out. It starts off as a typical romantic comedy that has two partners getting to know each other and feeling things out. It takes a sudden left turn when we find out a secret about one of the partners in the relationship and a tragic mistake they've made. Definitely a fun "Read"

Quirky Short Story
I had no idea what to expect before listening to this short story, but it definitely surprised me. I enjoyed the narrator, he had a pleasing voice. And the story was interesting. A great little diversion.
