She lost my respect when she didn't put her boys first. I realize when a person goes through something hard like a divorce, it is hard to look outside of your own pain but she is a mother and in my opinion the kids always come before ourselves. (no, I don't have issues! LOL) I had a hard time identifying with the brother's mom, as I felt she only really thought of her own emotional pain when she up and left.

I have to add that I think their father is scum, and I don't like his cheating ways at all. Coming from a broken home myself, I was able to identify with both Logan and Mason's anger, frustration, and sadness. I felt the author did a bang on job depicting the emotions that teens go through when their parents do divorce. I loved how Mason looked out for his brother Logan, and sadly because both their mom and dad were absentee parents Mason truly raised Logan on his own. This novella shows us the bond that the brothers have, and what exactly their home life was like before and after their parents divorce. I feel that I will have tons more compassion for him now that I know why he is the way he is. This prequel is written in Mason's POV, and it gives great insight into who he is as a person. I am thinking that I should have read book one first but in true 'Jen style' I didn't! Always have to be different I suppose! I haven't read book one yet, but so far I don't think I will enjoy it less since I read Mason's book first. This book is a prequel to the 'Fallen Crest High' series by Tijan. Would I read future books by this author: Yes. Unforgettable, swoon-worthy and captivating Mason Kade!īook editing rating (5 = no edits spotted): 4.5 stars Mason is my Kryptonite and getting into his head was priceless! Mason, told from Mason’s POV, is a glimpse into an enigma, the boy maturing into one of the best young ALPHA heroes I have ever had the pleasure of reading. It follows him for a couple of years until his first meeting with Samantha Stratton, Sam and the opening of book 1.Įleven words to describe Mason James Kade: Captivating, private, reflective, smart, enigmatic, fierce, loyal, observant, noble, focused and cocky. Story picks up as 16-year old high school student, star athlete, heartthrob heir and town bad boy Mason Kade is forced to grow up overnight. My reasoning was that I wanted a (re-read) of book 1’s slow brewing lustful attraction between Sam and Mason from Sam’s POV with Mason remaining an enigma. I held off reading Mason (Prequel, book 0.5) in Mason Kade’s POV until after I read book 1.
