Inescapable by Amy Bartol

Synopsis:
My name is Evie Claremont and this was to be the making of me--my freshman year of college. I had been hoping that once I had arrived on Crestwood's campus, the nightmare that I've been having would go away. It hasn't.

I may be an inexperienced seventeen-year-old, but I'm grounded...sane. Since meeting sophomore Reed Wellington, however, nothing makes any sense. Whenever he is near, I feel an attraction to him--a magnetic kind of force pulling me towards him. I know what you're thinking...that sounds fairly awesome. Yeah, it would--if he liked me, but Reed acts as if I'm the worst thing that's ever happened to Crestwood...or him. But, get this, for some reason every time I turn around he's there, barging into my life.

What is the secret he is keeping from me? I'm hoping that it is anything but what I expect: that he is not exactly normal...and neither am I. So maybe Crestwood won't be the making of me, but it could be the breaking of me. I have been left to wonder if the dark future my dream is foretelling is...inescapable.


My Review:
Have you ever read a book that you could not get out of your head?  The characters were so well developed you felt like they were your best friends?  The plot so well written, you didn't anticipate a single outcome?  A story you read, that days later you were still savoring moments from?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, I'd guess that you already read Inescapable!  I loved, loved, LOVED this story.  Several friends recommended this to me, but my TBR is way over-stacked and I just hadn't gotten around to it.  I wish I would have read this book the first time I heard about it.  

Evie will forever live as one of my favorite fictional heroines.  Is she tough?  No, not really.  Is she brilliant?  No, smart and witty, yes.  What was it that made her a favorite?  She feels real, she is endearing and likely the most caring character I've ever come across in the Paranormal Genre.  

Reed?  Okay, very protective, slightly neurotic, intensely handsome and completely, hopelessly in love with Evie.  Then there's Russell - O0000h Russell, you didn't even see Reed coming did you?  

I don't want to give the story away, it was too wonderful discovering it on my own to want to ruin for you.  But this is a MUST READ for any YA Fan!!!
