Nowhere is safe. Not even home…
Nick Merrick is stretched to the breaking point.
Keep his grades sky-high or he’ll never escape his hometown.
Keep his brother’s business going or the Merricks will be out on the street.
Keep the secret of where he’s going in the evenings from his own twin—-or he’ll lose his family.
Keep his mind off the hot, self-assured dancer who’s supposed to be his “girlfriend’s” partner.
Of course there’s also the homicidal freak Quinn has taken to hanging around, and the Elemental Guide counting the hours until he can try again to kill the Merrick brothers.
There’s a storm coming. From all sides. And then some.
Nick Merrick, can you keep it together?
This review will be spoiler free.

I know, I know....You are shocked I am giving a spoiler free. Well just deal with it. I received a digital copy of this book on a read-to-review basis. Thanks to Kensington Books and Netgalley. When I found out I had got a approved for my first read review I literally squeeeeeed. Yes its a word don't argue with me.
I for one love all of Brigid Kemmerer's books. This one gets a solid 4 stars because this book sucks you in. I read Spirit and Secret back to back in a day because I could not put them down.
You truly feel Nick's struggle throughout this book. I applaud Brigid for also addressing bullying and domestic abuse that is happening around the world. I will also choose in this review not to reveal Nick's secret. Yes that is a gif for secret. Shhhh!
This book keeps you on an emotional rampage. Or at least it did for me. I cried several times and felt how at times how lost Nick and Quinn were in this book.
Anyway throughout this book Brigid has the talent to make you actually like an unlikeable character, Tyler Morgan. I thought my feelings couldn't be changed about him but she proved me wrong. She also had the ability to make me actually feel sorry for Quinn at times. Quinn's home situation is so horrible. I am so glad by the end of the book that she gets the guy and is out of that horrid environment. I totally ship Tyler and Quinn now.
I for one was actually surprised that I actually loved this book. I didn't think I would after finding out Nick's secret but Brigid did an amazing job and made me love it. Again I want to thank Kensington Books and Netgalley for giving my first chance to do a read-review for them.
