You’ll think you know: Left Behind by Vi Keeland, Dylan Scott

Description:

Two stories so deeply intertwined, you’ll think you know how they intersect…but you’ll be wrong….

Zack Martin
The day I met Emily Bennett my whole world changed. Sure, we were just kids, but I was old enough to know my life would never be the same. She was my best friend. My destiny. My fate. I wasn’t wrong…I just didn’t know how twisted fate could be.

Nikki Fallon
After the death of my mother, moving from my dark and dreary trailer park to sunny California, I was focused on one thing – finding a sister I’d only just learned existed. Falling in love with him wasn’t part of the plan. But he filled a void I never knew was possible to fill. He had to be my fate. My destiny. Until the day I finally found out who my sister was…and how twisted fate could be.

This was an incredible read. Nikki is inspiring and I thought the emotions both Zack and Nikki have throughout the story were spot on. You laugh, cry, and wish for more by the end of the story. Fantastic read. - Goodreads

Another winner for Miss Keeland. She changed up her target audience and still did a slam dunk. 

Left Behind is not your usual young Adult Story. The author took on a heavy topic and handled it beautifully. Writing about the family members who deal with the after effects of mental illness in a romantic setting is not an easy thing to do. Miss Keeland made it look easy. I was vested in this story from the get go. - Goodreads

This was a fantastic read!! I loved Nikki and I loved Zack even more. Their stories, both separate and together gripped me from page one. My heart broke for Zack and I felt for him the entire book. Ashley. Allie and Keller were such great secondary characters and kept things exciting. This was a great story and I found a new author to add to my favorite shelf in Vi!!- Goodreads

About the authors:
Vi Keeland is a native New Yorker with three children that occupy most of her free time, which she complains about often, but wouldn't change for the world. She is a bookworm and has been known to read her kindle at stop lights, while styling her hair, cleaning, walking, during sporting events, and frequently while pretending to work. She is a boring attorney by day, and an exciting smut author by night!

Dylan Scott is a New York trial attorney, wife and mother of four. She believes her job as a trial attorney is a subcategory to the field of entertainment more than law. With a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature she believed teaching English was a destined career choice until she realized her life long talent of "argument" could actually be her job. A recent, fairly boring, midlife crisis resulted in a brief stint as a middle school English teacher which confirmed that she wasn't ready to give up the law. Dylan has also taught legal courses at the college level and worked with at-risk inner city youth in the roles of mentor and coach. She is co-author Vi Keeland's biggest fan.
