Could it be hers?

Sang's actions will force her mother to reveal a startling truth. A truth that will change Sang's life and the boys' lives in unpredictable ways. Forever.

Book Review

This is the turning point in the series. The book where Sang's mother ties her up and leaves her in the shower, literally to die. If it were not for Silas and Nathan's response to her call, she would have lost her life. The abusive relationship is finally brought to the attention of Mr. Blackbourne and Dr. Green. The boys have decided that she can't possibly stay in this situation, however Sang surprises them yet again.

She doesn't want to leave and get the boys in trouble. She is not aware of the Ghost Bird status that they are trying to preserve for her, but she feels that her mother is ill and needs help. Sang is brave but insecure. She wants to trust the boys, but she is so scarred from her abusive past that she finds it difficult. And without earning that trust the boys can't bring her into the Academy with them.

As their relationships continue to bloom, more than one boy has developed stronger feelings for her. I'm getting worried about jealousy turning up and ruining everything for Sang and her band of protectors. Can't wait to read the next book in the series.
