LIbby Austin Just May Leave You "Reft"

Hi guys, Kristin here! I love discovering new authors and love it even more when I find a new “auto-click” author. You know what I’m talking about; those authors that you one-click without even reading the blurb because you just know that it’s going to be good. My next Diamond, Libby Austin, is one of those authors. 

Her newest book, Reft, just came out and it is one you’re going to want to read. Here’s the synopsis from Amazon:

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. ~ Newton's Third Law of Motion

Brandon "Brand" Carmichael's life was the stuff dreams were made of...too bad it was an illusion.  As a guitarist for Inert Motion, Brand traveled the world, performing with his brothers in all but blood.  He never stopped moving all the while his mind played in a never ending loop.  Now outside influences have changed the band's course, leaving Brand's life void of the balance he craved.  Once again, his dream had become a recurring nightmare.  Brand coped the only way he knew how; retreat into solitude.

Magdalena "Layna" Delacroix had achieved the long sought goal of her Ph.D. in Psychology, but success came at a high cost: over one hundred thousand dollars in debt.  After being presented with the opportunity to fulfill her desire to help someone in the aftermath of tragedy, along with earning enough money to clear her debt and start a psychology practice of her own, Layla had to balance the means against the outcome.  Could she be the force to stop the downward spiral of someone who refused to seek help?

Neither Brand nor Layna expected the reaction they had to one another.  It was the opposite of everything they sought.

Could Layla live a lie while pushing Brand to live in the truth?

Would Brand forgive her for committing one unforgivable sin?

Or was he branded by destiny to be...

Reft"

I went into this book completely blind.  Al the info from the blurb was unknown to me until  read it for myself.  You should see the messages I sent to Libby while reading!

Anyway, I'm so glad I chose to skip the synopsis because it made the experience that much more exciting for me as I tried to piece everything together.  There are some MAJOR twists and turns in the plot that I didn't expect.  I love a book that keeps me guessing the entire time and this story really delivered.

I feel like I got to completely immerse myself in Brandon's head to get down to he truly is.  Though I would have loved to see more interaction with Brand and his band, it's purely for selfish reasons because they were so funny!
