Young Adult Paranormal

This is the third book in the amazing series, 13 to Life. Unlike the others, this book is told from the multiple points of view of the main characters, making it easier to connect with some characters and understand them better. Jessie is still stuck at Pecan Place, aptly named as it is the home of psychiatric patients. She finally gets out later on, but the reader has to endure seeing her in that place and hating it. Pietr still has an undeniable love for Jessie. Pietr is everything a reader could want: protective, foreign, handsome, and brave. Pietr and Jessie come even closer to each other in this novel. The Rusakovas (Pietr's family) have been trying to extract their mother from people who do her harm...to no avail. However, this novel holds news about the mother. The reader will love getting to know each and every member of the Rusakova family and some of the secondary characters, particularly Amy, are fun to get to know as well. The events of this book are fast-paced, the ending is not entirely an ending (another book coming!), and this book cannot be highly recommended enough to teens/young adults.

SUMMARY

Locked away at Pecan Place, Jessie finds her situation to be even more dangerous than she feared. While she struggles to maintain her sanity and discover answers about the group that seems less and less like any legitimate government agency, Pietr fights to keep their relationship alive. But very aware that his mother’s time is running out, Pietr makes a deal he doesn’t dare tell Jessie about. Because the deal Pietr’s made could mean the death of far more than his tenuous relationship with the girl he loves.
