Things I believe in: humor can help with any situation, loyalty trumps everything, and bacon should always be as crispy as possible.

But I can’t seem to stay away.
Emmy:
Things I believe in: books and studying, a good pro/con list, and factual data.

My Rating - 4 Stars!
Danielle Keil's Into the Light is a pleasant surprise. There is so much more to this story than I could have expected. The second book in the Parkdale series, I am now excited to go back and read the first book.
Emmy's a college freshman, trying to make their way through life. With obstacles in her way, Emmy keeps to herself. She's made good friends, including Jackson, but doesn't truly let them in.
All the while, Jackson can't stop the feelings he has for Emmy. Unfortunately his roommate Jason asked her out before he ever got a chance. And let's just say, Jason's an asshole.
There is a lot going on with these characters and their friends. Emmy pisses me off a lot with her inability to see what an ass Jason is. As well, I just wanted to yell at her for not trusting her friends with her problems. As for Jackson, oh man, I love Jackson. He's the friend we all want in our lives.
Also, a warning for you - There is an off page rape, so avoid this if that's a trigger for you.
The writing is good. It took me a while to get into the story, as things start off slowly. But things eventually pick up, the feelings intensify, and the emotions start jumping off the page at times.
Overall, Into the Light is a good college romance. It's definitely worth a read when you're in the mood for some strong NA angst.
