On the Edge by Rebecca SharpMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
High 3.75 low 4 for this reader. On the Edge by Rebecca Sharp is book #2 in the Winter Games Series. In all honesty I did not read book #1 Up In The Air (Channing and Wyatt’s book) and I really wish I would have read that book before reading book #2. For my brain to function (somewhat) in book world I like to read things in continuity order. I have no idea if all books are written in the way On the Edge was written but I felt like I was dropped into the book mid story.
Ally is the younger sister of twin siblings Channing and Chase. Ally moved from the snowy mountains to the sunny beach and after a devastating life altering event is moving back to the mountains. Her siblings are super excited to have her back, but she is still deciding whether she is excited to be back home. She is dealing with pain and a very unwanted attraction to Emmett. She hates him and wants him just as much.
Emmett is the “King” of the mountain. He appoints himself personal guardian of Ally. He may be labeled a Snowmasshole, but he will do whatever it takes to keep Ally safe and happy. Even if that means being absolutely miserable himself, he wants Ally bad but knows he is bad for her. He doesn’t do the “F” word, Forever isn’t in his future.
As I said above, I felt like I dropped into this story mid thought. It bounced around a lot and I can say I was confused more than once. Especially with the nicknames they kept using with one another. Each main character referenced Halloween and I thought I missed the storyline from the 1st book but it came into play well into the book (finally).
This story had great bones, I felt like it went on a little too much at times, repeating scenarios over and over again. I wish we would’ve gotten to know Ruth and Miriam a little better. I assume we will dive into Chase and Jessa in the next book but it was a good tease getting to know them as well. I received this book as an advance copy without expectation for review. All opinions expressed above are my own.
