~Synopsis~
Sometimes it takes
someone else to show us what we are truly capable of becoming.
Suffering from years of violent abuse, Ryan Campbell has learned how to keep people from getting too close. But when you shut yourself off, people get hurt along the way. Never caring much about others, Ryan creates a world in which he doesn’t have to feel.
When Ryan meets Candace Parker, all of his walls slowly begin to crumble. Not sure of the truth of who she is, he feels his mind is playing tricks on him. Unable to force out the thoughts that consume him, Ryan is haunted by visions that torment him every time he looks at her. He finds himself swallowed by guilt and blame, but he’s unwilling to turn his back on the one person that could possibly save him.
You’ve heard Candace’s story in Fading, now hear Ryan’s.

~EXCERPT ~
“Babe, what the fuck
happened in there?” I ask, when we get to my car, her whole body shaking. “Who
the fuck did you see?”
She falls with her back
against the side of the car and grabs on to my shirt as she’s crying, gasping
for a decent intake of air.
“Jack is in there. We
have to leave.”
“Who’s Jack?”
“Him! Jack is . . .” Her
cries are strained when I see Jase approach, asking in shock, “Candace, what
happened?”
“Jack’s inside.”
“Oh, shit!”
“Who the fuck is Jack?!”
I scream, confused as fuck with what’s playing out in front of me.
“The guy that attacked
her,” Jase tells me.
Everything stops.
Grabbing on to Candace’s
shoulders, I demand, “Get in the car. Now.” I pull my keys out of my pocket and
hand them to Jase, yelling at him, “Get her in the fucking car!”
Everything tunnels as I
turn from everything good in my life and walk away.
One second. That’s all it
took.
Suspended in a false
reality where actions and consequences no longer exist. Where rage boils so
deep inside your veins that you’d do almost anything to drain them. I’d bleed
it all out for her.
Chaos. I’m in it when I
slam through the doors and bark out, demanding only the way a feral animal
would, “Where’s Jack?!”
When the guy to my left
points him out, I come unleashed.

~Review~
What is there that I can say about “Falling” that others
have not said in their review? This book was stupendously written in a way that
will have you seeing things that you know you probably missed when you read “Fading”.
Ryan’s story was so well written that I seriously had to read it very carefully
because I really didn’t want to miss any key pointers that I probably missed when
I read “Fading”. OK now let me speak about Ryan, I had no idea that all those
thoughts was going through his head & the reason he slept around was
because of how he viewed himself personally. A lot of people don’t believe in
faith & what life have in store for us, that was what Ryan realize when he
met Candice, Mark & Jace, because he knew there was something that was
drawing him close to her. I love the way E.K wrote this story, because if
someone never read “Fading” you could read “Falling” & never feel as though
you miss anything because you never read the first book. I loved to read Ryan’s
POV because after I was done with “Fading” I really wanted to know how he felt
about the situation & what was going through his mind when he finally found
out that the girl was Candice. Also, who knew his mom was keep such as big
secret from him. Great book E.k, I love the fact that Ryan & Candice were
able to protect each other from “fading” into life, & was able to “fall”
into it instead. I enjoyed the analogy that you gave us E.k., you kick ass.
