Review of "Devious" by: Suzanne Daniels

"Devious (Dangerous #2)" By: Suzannah Daniels

Rating:☆☆☆☆☆

        So this is the second part of the Dangerous Trilogy and if you've not read the first yet then what are you waiting for? Go and go now! It is the continuation of Stone Hamilton and Dara Golding's journey, set several months after the events of 'Dangerous'. You will remember that Stone is a motor bike riding, bad boy and Dara is one of the popular girls - polar opposites but drawn together by their vulnerability and their pasts. Stone is constantly trying to find his way in this relationship, always worrying that he may lose Dara through something that he does - having never had a real relationship before, this fear is very real in his eyes. The path of true love never runs smoothly and there are a few kinks in this path along the way. Dara's mother makes a reappearance in 'Dangerous' after leaving Dara with her Grandparents at a very young age, only to seemingly disappear out of her life again here. Stone may think that he sucks at relationships but he is very much in tune with Dara's emotions and what she wants (most of the time!) and he sets out to find her for Dara. Trust is a major issue for Dara in this book, as Stone's bad boy past comes back to test their relationship in the form of two of his previous 'girls'. Will they survive this major test and will Dara truly be able to trust and put his bad boy past when it belongs, behind them. The thought of losing Dara causes Stone to do a lot of soul searching and he needs to come to terms with his past too before they can move forward. When tragedy strikes, will it bring Dara and Stone closer together or will drive it them further apart? I am not usually a fan of young adult books but this series has me hooked! Suzannah Daniels has created two incredibly likeable characters in Dara and Stone - opposites on the outside and yet so similar on the inside. Both so vulnerable and just wanting to belong to someone and to be loved. The focus of the book is the characters and how they respond and react to situations. Time is taken to explore the thoughts and feelings of the characters so that the reader can truly understand them. I'm off now to read the third book in this trilogy, Delirious, and can't wait to see how their story turns out!
