* This special edition of Keep Me Still includes the novella, Let You Leave:
Layla Flaherty had the perfect life, or close to it. Until a stranger gunned her parents down right in front of her, leaving her with seizure inducing PTSD. After years of trying to pass as normal and failing miserably, she resigns herself to being invisible. But new to town Landen O’Brien sees her, and he likes what he sees. Much to Layla’s surprise, he doesn’t freak out when she has a seizure in front of him. He does the exact opposite, calming her until the tremors subside. But Landen has secrets of his own. Secrets that will either bind them together or tear them apart
Review:
I wanted to shake Layla a couple of times, hoping that she would think and act like she was supposed to. The Layla in Keep Me Still was a mix of the Layla from Let You Leave and a new one more confident version of herself.
I don't think that I can ever trust Landen completely ever again. He has many secrets and the worst part is that he is lying to the reader through his point of view. More accurate would be the "He is keeping 3/4 of the truth from us and we have to wait until Layla finds out to learn everything ourselfs" honesty from his part. Behind his secrets are hiding more. And it was so frustrating!
No matter what I think of Layla and Landen as individuals I have to admit that I like them together. They complete each other and they make the other to want to be a better person. I want to see what is going to happen with Corin and Landen's friend Skylar
I liked the Layla from keep me still. I thought that she was colder and less detached. Or started seeing differently. I felt as if she has lost a part of herself and a little of her faith in Landen.
I disliked a part of the story. I am sure if Landen has that many issues in the previous book(s) or they came on the surface later. He seemed to be getting worse and things eventually got out of control. Layla is better. She is almost fixed. So now is the time to fix Landen.
A disappointment was the fact that I never found out what happened with Corin and Skylar.
