Review
♥  ARC was provided for an honest review ♥
Faithless by Amanda Bennett was simply amazing!!  Such an emotional read with so many twists and turns that I was kept at the edge of my seat the entire book.  Riley is such a beautiful character with so much depth.  I immediately fell in love with her.  Such a troubled young women with a past that no one should have but a future that is so bright.  I wanted nothing but for her to heal and shine in her full potential.  Tristan was so yummy!!  I absolutely loved him and rooted for him the entire time.  Faced with demons of his own he was such a complex character.  While London seemed yummy there was always something about him that rubbed me wrong.  Faithless is a story about overcoming your demons and living life in the moment.  The road is very bumpy for these characters with so many obstacles in their way.  I will say that I was completely shocked at some of the moments and NEVER saw them coming.  Another fantastic book by Amanda Bennett and bravo for bringing difficult subject matters to life.

Excerpt
 
I gave her a full smile before I pulled her into my chest, wrapping my arms around her tiny body. She fit perfectly against mine, and I couldn’t help but wonder what it would feel like to lay next to her. To feel her skin against my own, with no barriers between us and nothing to break us apart.   
The crisp night air rustles my soft brown tendrils, making them tickle my cheeks. I glance down one last time as my bare toes dangle over the sandy edge. The sounds of
cars passing below barely register in my mind, as I’m thinking of the things that I no
longer have control over. Another gust of wind whips across my hyper sensitive skin, sending chills down my spine. A slight shiver has me crossing my arms across my chest to keep in the minimal amount of warmth still flowing through my body. The vast Pacific Ocean looks serene and unbelievably calm at this hour and I can’t help but realize the draw people have to it’s embrace.
I could still taste her on my lips. My head was reeling from our kiss. My heart felt more open and accepting than it had ever felt before. Something about her had me yearning for her touch, and longing for her presence. I was well aware that Riley had her own issues that were keeping her from me, but part me wanted to be one of them. For as long as I could remember, I had never felt the kind of love that Riley encompassed. It wasn’t an ‘in your face’ kind of love. It was a love that ran deep and true and one that she would cherish forever despite the consequences or outcome.
