Free from his father’s shadow, Landon has decided to hit the open road. What happens when a pretty girl hops in the car and invites herself along?

Landon:

After defying my father’s wishes and dropping out of West Point, it was time to take my future into my own hands.

I hoped the open road would become my salvation, saving me from my inner demons.

My plan failed and a return home seemed imminent. Until a beautiful girl with purple streaks in her hair became determined to join me, turning my entire trip upside down.

I had my share of regrets.

Letting Whitney in my car was not one of them.

Whitney:

Life in my small town slowly sucked the soul out of me. I dreamed of escaping and exploring the world.

All I wanted to do was get out of Pine Hill and keep the promises I made my mother before she died.

So, I jumped straight into a stranger’s car and hijacked his road trip. We couldn’t have been more different, but our chemistry was undeniable.

I had my share of regrets. 

Giving Landon my heart was at the top of the list.

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

Especially when that girl is your roommate’s girlfriend.

But I can’t seem to stay away.

Emmy:

Things I believe in: books and studying, a good pro/con list, and factual data.

Things I don’t believe in: being unprepared, dishonesty, and failure.

Especially when it seems like failure is following me around, waiting for an opportunity to make everything worse.

But what if it leads me to something, or someone, better?

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.
