Tijans books are a bit hit and miss for me, Enemies and Ryans Bed were 2 of the best books ive ever read and considering how many books ive been through thats really saying something. Perhaps its that the books i love from her are more recent and her writing has evolved but unfortunately I really struggled to connect to this one, it seemed unrealistic that ALL of the adults in the book were made out to be fools while the author tried to make Sam, Mason and Logan seem extremely mature for thier ages. Instead i found the main characters to be the most immature of all Tijans books ive read.
The plot twists involving the different relationships with the parents was pretty far fetched (SPOILER) and one of the things that grated the most was the way Sam turned on the man who raised and loved her for 17 years, who continually fought to show her how much he cared and yet was relegated to his given name instead of Dad while she kept calling a stranger she hadnt even met yet her "real dad".
Still a good book but unlike my favourites from Tijan i wouldnt read this again.

This is now my third time reading this series and it’s just as good this time as it was the first !
This author has created a world you just fall into and get lost and addicted !!
Logan mason and Sam’s loves come crashing together when their parents (the boys dad and Sam’s mum ) decide to move in together at first they aren’t kean on the idea but things change quite quickly ...
mason and Logan are the hottest guys in school , every guy wants to be them and every girl wants to be with them - but they are jerks to everyone because they know everyone wants something ... Sam is the biggest exception - she doesn’t want to be known and doesn’t want any part of the kades world but like I said their world collide !!!
I won’t say much else except if you haven’t read this series yet get onto it !!! Yes this one is a high school romance but as you read the series we see them all the way through college and it’s a wild ride !! Jump on you won’t regret it !

I loved this book. The first book I've ever read by Tijan had me instantly hooked, and I have read it that many times, I feel as though I'm apart of the lives of these characters and apart of Fallen Crest. This book is a young adult story with angst, drama and abit of taboo. Samantha has just had life tipped upside down no thanks to her mother. Moving in with the infamous Kade brothers and trying to keep it anonymous? Catching your boyfriend in the act cheating of you, and having all your friends shun you? How is a 17 year old girl meant to handle all that alone?
Samantha is stronger than anyone gives her credit for. In this story, while her life may be chaotic with constant drama, she is able to over come it all and come out on top for the better. Yes, Mason Kade may well be about to become her step brother, but after seeing her loyalty, he fights his attraction towards her and these two embark on a somewhat taboo romance.
As I said, I loved this story and I'm sure if you read it, you'll too be a Fallen Crest and Tijan fan.

I don't mind a good bully romance but the guys in this are just unpleasant.
So many people loved this series, but I just couldn't. The heroine rolled from one nasty situation to the next, was treated terribly and falls for the H? I thought she needed a good shrink not a boyfriend. As for the Hero, he goes from being basically abusive and hazing her to in love and over protective boyfriend in a jarring switch.
This was a "yeah, nah" for me. Yeah, I really wanted to like it, but nah, I couldn't

I fell in Love with this book from page one and couldn’t put it down, it started right where the previous book Mason left off only this is in Sam’s POV.
Sam has had her life turned upside down and it has left her feeling alone, so she runs to numb her emotions so she doesn’t have to feel anything going on around her. Sam is such a strong and fierce character, and loyal to those she cares about which is no one until she gets close with Mason and Logan and she becomes Family.
Mason and Logan Kade are Sam’s new stepbrothers and at first they couldn’t care less about her, but all that change when they realise she is nothing like her Mother. Mason and Logan bring Sam into the fold and begin to protect her from her mum, her dad, her friends but still let her fight her own battles and defend herself.
Sam and Mason are looking to be a strong couple and I am looking forward to book 2 Fallen Crest Family to see how it develops.
This book was such a emotional read full of angst, drama, action and passion.

I'm quite a fan of Tijan, but this book was more like reading an entire season of a teen tv drama. It just seemed to drag on and on, too much happened too quickly. There was some sort of new catalyst every few chapters and there was absolutely no character development. I found it confusing and frustrating at times, it didnt seem to have enough depth. Won't be rushing into the next one in the series unfortunately.

All right I'm not normally a teenage romance reader no that there no adult theme happening all the through this as there is alert. It is so well written it brought back similar memories of bullying from my teenage years. Not that there was any cute bad ads guys to help me. See I'm doing therapy through this book. Alright buy this book even if you are into stories about more mature people romance so well written sucked me in.

I had to read some of the reviews after I had read this book to find out if anymore else felt the same or was it just me but luckily some of the reviews reflected on what I found strange about this book. I found it jittery and didn't flow very well, at points in the book I felt like I had missed something. I got half way and couldn't get my head around where the book was going. I understood where Sam was coming from and why she ran I didn't understand the odd friends she did have or the people she went to school with. I did enjoy the parts with Logan & Mason. I did finish but not sure I would read anymore.

Not keen on this book. But the series improves.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 April 2021Verified Purchase
I have read all the books in this series..so this review is based off of me re reading.
In this book Sam is pretty awful. Shes pretty cold with Jeff even before she finds out all hes been upto.. Shes mean to Adam for absolutley no reason that the fact he likes her not Becky. She bails in the middle of a date with him without a care of his feelings..
Shes cruel to the man who raised her all because he kept a secret her mother forced him to keep. Even so much as to stop calling him Dad. Doesnt she realise family doesn't have to be connected by blood?
Logan and Mason are irresponsible and love to play pranks.. Pranks are cool i guess but they go a step or stride too far in my opinion. They tend to sleep around with the women across two schools and Logan especially seems to enjoy splitting up couples just because he can and the women themselves seem to not care that they are being used.
I'm not impressed by Mason manipulating Logan no matter how good his intentions were. They are supposed to trust each other.
However, i do like the relationship between Logan, Mason and Nate.. I like the sibling relationship.. apart from the manipulating i mentioned above.
I like how protective all the boys are of Sam especially once she earns their trust.
Sam's mum is awful and Masons Dad lacks reality..I mean who asks someone to move in with them without meeting their child?
I know the books get better as i've read the series however i think this book was a pretty crummy start.

Really enjoyable read.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2020Verified Purchase
I enjoyed this more than I expected to. I honestly thought it was going to be more like Crew for some reason. A book I really struggled with.
My only struggle with this was the female character's. They felt a little American teen romcom stereotype.
Also Sam was a little cold I'd have liked to see more character development for her. But it's the first in a extensive series. So there's plenty of time for that. And experience with long series is that it takes a while. More of a slow burn.
Overall I really enjoyed it. I tend to rate a book on how long it takes me to read it.
The more into a book I am the faster I read it. I started this a little over 24 hours ago. So yeah I guess I couldn't put this one down

This book is honestly all over the place.
I was not sure if I was too old for it or just not on the right wavelength.
I remember going to watch The Matrix when it first came out at the cinema, and the audience were coo-ing and laughing and I was sat there - dumbstruck - thinking "what is this all about" because I never understood why the audience were loving it so much.
That's how I felt reading this book.
It was like the words were all jumbled up!
It's a teen book, right? Well actually I still don't know.
I have read a lot of young adult books but I have read nothing like this.
I can't say that I really liked Sam - the main female lead. Actually, yeah, I totally got the way that she runs for her release, to feel numb, because I do the same (but not for 3 hours at a time and until 1am in the morning), but I know how she felt when the anxiety builds and only the running releases it. So for that, I get it.
I actually liked very much the camaraderie between Mason and Logan. They are truly soul brothers. I actually liked the way that they were so aloof and up their own a*&es, that really came through and I kinda admired them for being that way.
But the rest of the characters - a bunch of spoilt, rich kids - which was something I did not really get. And they are all getting it on with each other - and the adults too - not positive role models, eh?
I understand why readers would love these books. The writing is detailed, a lot is put into it but I am really sorry that I just did not connect with the characters or the development of the story.

WHAT IS THERE NOT TO LOVE ABOUT THIS BOOK AND SERIES??!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 September 2016Verified Purchase
This book captured me from the first few pages and has done so ever since and I am up to series 4 now! I have never before read anything by this author but I am on board now and I will read many more. The chemistry between the 3 main characters Samantha, and brothers Mason and Logan is off the scales and I loved it all. This is just my kind of book with all the drama, angst, jealousy, passion, violence and love. Samantha's deranged mother is moving in with Mason and Logan's father and that's where it all begins. In the beginning there is a lot of hatred and jealousy coming from Mason and Logan towards Samantha and her mother but when the brothers realise Samantha is the innocent victim in all this and her mother is not good for her, the tables start to turn. Mason and Samantha are attracted to each other and the chemistry between those two is electric. I love the way this author writes and makes you feel so much. There is such a lot going on in this book and series that it is hard not to write a very long review but I don't really like long reviews as I lose interest half way through so I won't subject you to that. Suffice to say this book and series is amazing and as the title suggests it centres around Fallen Crest High and all the drama that entails. The only slight criticism I have is that this first book doesn't give Mason's POV which I would have liked to have known his thoughts especially when he first met Samantha as that was pretty explosive as is most of this book. But we do get his POV in the other books in this series. I haven't looked yet so I don't know if a series or book has been written at all about Logan as that would be fantastic as he is just as hot as Mason but in a different way. But I don't want this series to end and I want it to keep going with us seeing Mason and Samantha getting married and having babies, I want it all. There are also so many other characters in this series so please lets have their stories too, and I want Heather and Logan to get together and have their own book. This series will not disappoint.
