Rating⭐⭐⭐⭐
To say that this was an emotional read, it would be an understatement. I won't give up the plotline because it's a fairly short book, but we get to see how Kelly and Jason fell in love and also how their relationship fell apart. Their love story started out so sweet, but Jason's irrational jealousy and his tense family situation made things between them complicated. Also, the bond between Matt, Kelly, and Jason was beautifully portrayed. They had each other's back no matter what.
#Rogue is definitely a must-read before diving into the series. As for those who already read book one and two, I highly recommend picking up this prequel to get a clearer picture of how it all began.

I’m startled awake some time later when I hear a bump against the wall across from me. Laying in the dark, I wait and it happens over and over again. Curious, I get up and tiptoe out my door and over to the spare room.
“No,” I can hear being said over and over, the voice deep and afraid. I peek my head in and, sure enough, he’s tangled in his bed sheet, his leg hitting the wall while it looks like he’s fighting someone.
Carefully, I slowly walk over to the bed and lay my hand on his arm. “You’re safe,” I repeat over and over, until his frown eases and the wrinkle on his forehead is gone. I’m about to back away when his eyes fly open, pinning me with a stare.
“Sorry,” I blurt out. “I’m Kelly. I heard you and just wanted to check to see if you’re okay.”
His throat bobs a couple times before he nods his head, his eyes flicking to the clock that reads quarter after two. His hands come up and rub down his face. For the first time I notice he’s shirtless and wearing basketball shorts. His face is longer and his jaw is square, sharp, with a classical aristocratic look. His hair is light and short, cropped close on the sides and longer on top. It’s fashionable and not at all my type. “I’m Calvin,” he says, testing out his new name.
“Nice to meet you,” I respond and smile. “I’ll talk to you more in the morning, okay?”
He nods again in response. Our eyes hold and I faintly see the remaining ghosts that are haunting him. The orbs clear when he blinks again. “Night.”
