Title: Loyalty and Lies
Series: Chastity Falls #1
Author: LA Cotton
Publisher: Delesty Books
Release Date: January 30, 2015
Eighteen-year-old Savanah Parry just moved three thousand miles across state to escape. The memories…the whispers…the pain.
Chastity Falls Academy is supposed to be her fresh start; her salvation. And when Ana meets mysterious Jackson, she begins to think it is. She hasn’t smiled in almost sixteen months; not since the night her life changed forever, and despite her guilt…her loyalty, Ana can’t deny that Jackson is breathing life back into her. With Jackson by her side, Ana wants to believe she can heal and move on. But she isn’t the only one living a lie, and the small private Academy has secrets of its own. All is not what it seems, and Ana is about to find herself in a tangled web of lies; fighting for survival, again.
Loyalties will be tested, lies will be told. Welcome to Chastity Falls.
I really liked this one; it was not your average love story. It reminds us that while there is always room for healing and love, it can be taken away just as quickly as it came.
While we can never outrun our past hurts, guilt of things that happened, and death… We all have the chance to let people in and start the healing process.
I really liked how the characters grow and heal each other. They both have a past that keeps them from opening up to the other completely. This makes it hard for them to truly be together. When you are forced to hide your relationship, how can you truly be together?
I am not of fan of the fact that there are so many unanswered questions. There is no HEA in this book, but the story is not over. And thank goodness! I need more Chastity Falls. I can only hope the unanswered questions are answered in the next one.

Looking at Savannah Parry, you would think she's just an ordinary college student but if you really pay attention, you can see the sadness that envelopes her on a daily basis. She's suffered so much loss for being so young that you would question if she can keep going but she does keep going, finding the strength to keep on living.
There is so much emotion in this story that had me cringing, laughing, crying and making me mad because of what each one was facing. The moments that Ana and Jackson shared had me swooning and smiling like a fool because they both deserved to have happiness.
The supporting characters are funny, like Elena, Ana's roommate. She had no filter and had me cracking up with her craziness. I will say that this story shocked me and left me wanting to throw my tablet because I needed MORE, yet I must be patient and wait until MORE is revealed soon. This does end on a cliffhanger so you have been warned.
