Ames is the main character in this story. She's your typical rich kid that you read in books. She was use to having what she wanted and her mother was also use to living life in certain style and trying to maintain what they lost because Ames's father was fired from his job for stealing and this is where the plot changes.
They move to Texas and Ames is ignored by her family while the whole family is transiting to the change of not having everything they wanted. Ames meets Mark a man with a troubled past and this leads to Ames not making the right choices all in the search of love and attention that she's not getting from her family.
Mark is dark, violent and extremely well armed. He pulls Ames into his violent world with affirmations of love and violent out burst. Much of this book reads as if the writer has tapped into that world of social angst and combined it with an explosive relationship that will only end in tragedy.
Over all it was a good book but one I can see that I won't pick up again. This is more for tween/teen set of readers. I will say that it's well written and the characters relate to each other even when they are moving in and out different stages of Ames's change of social class and then moving to another state.
