*REVIEW* Collateral Damage By Jasmine and Genna Denton


 September 28, 2013
The healing continues in this exciting sequel... 

The arrival of Kelly's stepsister shakes things up, both in her home and her support group. 
Alex strives to define himself outside of sports, and starts by forming a relationship with Kay. 
Trouble at home causes Kay to avoid it as much as possible, until a blowout finally forces her to make a change. 
Meagan's continues to unravel. It seems like there's no end to Seth's harassment. But help from an unlikely source will finally restore her freedom. 
The past comes back to haunt Ryder once again, and this time it could completely ruin his relationship with Meagan. 
A revelation causes Gage to make a much-needed change. Will he finally let Kelly in? 
New character Kendall comes with a lot of baggage, surprising connections to the characters, and a dark secret. 
When a patient goes into crisis, Daphne risks her job to help. 

Things at the Discover-U Center are changing, but one thing remains the same. Healing is a painful process.

*REVIEW*

5 STARS



  Collateral Damage is the Third book in the From The Damage Series By Jasmine and Genna Denton.The Series Follows a group of teenagers who are in a teen counseling group.Each of these teens are dealing with some serious issues and this series follows how the teens are growing and dealing with the issues they face.We are again greeted with the familiar faces of Kelly,Gage,Alex,Meagan,Ryder,Seth,Kelly's Stepsister Kendall and last but not least Daphne who is the Counselor. 
   Without going into too much detail as I detest giving out Spoilers I will say You need to read Opposites Attract and Coming Clean prior to reading Collateral Damage.Technically you could read it alone..and I say that somewhat disagreeing with myself BUT if you do that be prepared to be missing quite a bit of the back stories of the characters and why they are the way they are.This book was an emotional read and very well written.You will welcome all the characters back with a hug.There will be Characters that tick you off,Some will make you want to cry.I would highly recommend this book to teens and adults of all ages who enjoy Young Adult books.The writing flows extremly smoothly with at least 7 different characters.WHAT DID SHE SAY?SEVEN CHARACTER POINTS OF VIEWS?Yes I did.Its takes  strong authors to pull of SEVEN (GASP) Character point of Views,But they did it and did it well.This is not the end of the series and I am eagerly awaiting seeing what the future has in store for the teens.Overall this was an excellent read and VERY worthy of 5 stars.

*REVIEW* Collateral Damage By Katie Klein





May 21, 2013
True love can blossom in unexpected places. This is Parker pretending not to care. . . .

Parker Whalen and Jaden McEntyre are a wrong fit from the start. Jaden is driven and focused, Harvard Med School within reach. Parker has a past—a reputation—and the rumors about his mysterious habits abound. So there’s no reason why, when they're assigned to work together on a project in English, they should discover they have anything in common, or even like each other, and they definitely shouldn't be falling in love.

What they have? It isn't real. Because the truth is, Parker Whalen is a liar. This has never mattered…until now. Because lying to someone you care about—someone who matters, someone who believes in you—that's when people get hurt. And Parker is about to hurt Jaden in the biggest way imaginable.

COLLATERAL DAMAGE is the companion novel to CROSS MY HEART, which spent more than 100 days on the Amazon Teen Top 100 Bestseller List in its first year of release, and was a 2011 Goodreads Choice Awards Nominee for Best YA Fiction. COLLATERAL DAMAGE, a 76k word/300 page novel for Young Adults, is CROSS MY HEART told from Parker's point of view.

**Though this is not a series, the author highly recommends reading CROSS MY HEART before COLLATERAL DAMAGE**
Rated PG-13 for violence, adult language, and some sensuality.

  I received an ARC for an honest review!

  First of all Major Major Kudos to Katie Klein.She Wowed me with Cross My Heart and I thought there was no way she could possibly top it.Well she showed me.Collateral Damage is told in Parkers Point of View and it opens up a whole new dimension to this story. It blows the story over the top and by golly its gold.I tell you pure gold.There is so very much more to Parker then you ever imagined.Im not going to ruin the book for anyone but I will say Parker was dealing with something that you had no clue in Cross My Heart and honestly WOW.I really felt for Parker.I loved seeing that side of him.
  I would imagine it is hard to write a book that is technically the same book but from the males point of view because so many people LOVED the first book.Well let me tell you,Beg you.Read Collateral Damage.It is amazing.It will show you how amazing Katie Klein is as an author.I knew I would like the story if it was anything like Cross My Heart but this blew me away with how great it is.Wonderful Job Katie!You should be so very proud of yourself!
