*REVIEW* Lost Boy By Tara Brown




LOST BOY
By Tara Brown
Release Date July 25th 2013

This is the companion novel to The Lonely. It is recommended you read that first. This is HIS POV on the events and how they came to be, how he came to be a LOST BOY.


Being the boy who accidentally shot his sister was hard.
Never being able to find the girl who actually pulled the trigger was worse.
Convinced, through years of relentless therapy, that she was a figment of his trauma and imagination, Eli Adams gave up on her existence.
Until one day a name, bearing remarkable resemblance to the people missing in his life, showed up out of nowhere.
Suddenly he was thrust into a journey that forced him to offer up his soul as payment for the truth.
What he discovered along the way, was that the girl who took his sister's life and his hand, all those years ago, had become the thing he needed to be whole.
Saving her was one thing.
Healing her was another.
Convincing her to love him will be the toughest part of it all.

How's that for my 90's cheerleader inner self?Tara Brown has written yet another winner.Lost Boy is the companion Novel to The Lonely.It is from Eli's Point of View and should only be read after you read The Lonely.I normally am not a huge fan of these type of books,meaning rewriting the same book in the Males POV.But this is one of those times where I make an exception. In fact,I truly encourage anyone thats read The Lonely to read it and if you haven't read The Lonely..then what the heck are you waiting for?
   Lost Boy is just as gritty as The Lonely obviously.But its edgier since we are dealing with Eli.We also were able to see more of Stuart which I really enjoyed getting to know him better as well.As with all books that are rewritten from the other main characters Point of View..we know what will happen and yet I still found myself worried.I kept telling myself..Self..you know what happens.You've read The Lonely.You know what happens.Well Self wasnt listening very well and was still worried about Eli and Sarah.
   This is one of those..can I call it a series?..That will blow you out of the water.Im serious.When I see the books they make into movies..im like Why hasn't Tara Brown been contacted?Her books are A-FREAKING AMAZING.Tara Brown honestly has never disappointed me in anything she has written.She is one of the select few authors that I hold close that is able to mesmerize me with their writing.Tara has written other wonderful books that you should check out as well!

*Review 5 stars * The Lonely By Tara Brown



The Lonely

The truth is subjective to what the lonely lets in.

Emalyn Spicer has lived with it for a long time. She thinks it goes back further than her memories do. She knows it goes back further than the OCD.

When she arrives at college, her OCD's and the lonely refuse to let her have her wish to be normal.

When she meets Sebastian and starts to fall for him, she lets herself believe it's possible to outrun the things chasing her from the past. But how to you get away from the things inside of you? How do you run from yourself?

Just as she gives up and succumbs to the lonely, the unthinkable happens. She finds herself once again trapped in the dark, once again held against her will.

This time she meets the lonely head on. In the darkest corners of her mind, she discovers there is more to her world than she ever imagined. She discovers that the lonely was there for her, protecting her from herself and her secrets.

How far would you go to find yourself?

This novel will be rated 17+


Don't forget to check out the companion novel, The Lost Boy

REVIEW
5 STARS

      This is a first book for me by Tara Brown.It was in one word Amazing.Truly a great read. Emalyn Spicer suffers from OCD and has a mysterious benefactor. She goes to college and her OCD starts to overtake her.Luckily she has her friend rooming with her and has met Sebastian.Her Benefactor is someone that keeps tabs on her,She also has a driver to drive her around and keep her safe.Suddenly her world is turned upside down.  
      I cannot express how great a book this is.The synopsis does not do it justice.The twists and turns of this book were exquisite.I did however figure out who the benefactor was a bit before Emalyn figured it out.The way Eli helped her overcome her issues was pretty dramatic..but in an odd way it worked.Its definitely a love story about two broken people finding each other and finding love,It is not that cut and dry but thats what makes it so good! I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this other then it had to end.I have to hold out hope that their story is not over because I would love to continue reading about them.
