REVIEW: Harkham's Choice by Chanse Lowell

BLURB

Adam Latham knows one thing, and one thing only—he simply has to have Marissa Cole as his own. Not as his school mate, or his girlfriend who lives in his family’s house with him. Her. He needs her to be his wife, and he’ll find a way to make that happen, whether or not his medical condition as Harkham’s unresolved case has improved.

His overwhelming need for Mari’s touch continues unabated. Even as her life grows more complicated—dealing with her father’s issues in another state—Adam becomes more determined that they’ll have a life together after they graduate high school in a few short months.

What will he do when he finds out exactly what past abuse Mari’s suffered? How will he handle it when she falls apart in front of his very eyes? He can only hope to contain the numbers that try to consume him and the violet anxiety attacks that follow, on his own.

How will he deal with his unsupportive family members that rally against his relationship with this damaged girl? Is Dr. Harkham the answer to his questions?

Only Adam knows what it means to live with an undefined disability. Until he finds the key that unlocks the secrets to his past mysteries, will he be able to move on and live a full and happy life with his Mari.

DANI'S REVIEW:

4 kisses

Chanse had delivered another amazing story again! 

Adam and Mary continue their whatever they have going. There is so much more back story in this boom than the first. I felt like I learned all lot more about each individual character in this book. It had me on my toes fron the first page. 

Mary's mom who I can't stand has a heart... I was surprised by this revolution because of how she had previously acted. Mary's dad.. I could never image having to live in a small rink a dink town and having my father known for what her father is known for. It's just one of those things where the pieces come together through out the story. 

Dustin, I hated this man in the first book. He seemed so strict and somewhat uncaring and  blind and to what was happening with Adam through his sister. He starts warming up to Mari at the end of book and it continues here. All in all I am starting to like him. 

Samara... I CANNOT stand this girl and her manipulative ways. If I had my choice I would of locked her up in a nut ward in the first book. But I digress

All in all Harkhams Choice answered a lot of the what's and whos I had at the ending of Harkhams Case. Chanse has given us a very well written book. While reading her book it was like her characters came off of the page at me. I lived this book through Mari's eyewhile  reading it. 

I cannit wait to read the third and final installment of the Harkhams series. My hat is off to you you Chanse. 

REVIEW: Harkham's Case by Chanse Lowell

BLURB

Adam Latham looks like any other charming, good-looking high school senior, but underneath, there’s a lot more to him than anyone could ever guess. He has an uncontrollable need for constant touch to ground him, to keep the numbers from invading his brain when anxiety gets the better of him.

When Adam resolves to finally complete high school and get his diploma, the social demands amongst his younger peers prove to be much more challenging than he’d imagined.

Lucky for him, his first class holds Marissa Cole, and she’s willing to let him hold her hand so he can keep control. Adam’s family sees him as a danger to himself if not strictly regulated, but to Mari, he’s a boy with the most pure soul—one so intriguing, she can’t resist him, and he quickly steals her heart.

How will she cope when he invades her world and turns her life upside down, unearthing her own past traumas and issues? Will Adam find a way to help her find peace and forgiveness through love, or will their own problems keep them apart?

DANI'S REVIEW:

4.5 kisses. 

Mari and Adam, Adam and Mari. Where to begin with these two. This book grabbed me from beginning. This book has every aspect that I as a reader look for. You have the suspense, the unknown, the back story and the love story.

Adam and Mary are one of a kind in my eyes really. Adam who closes into himself and shouts numbers when he gets terrified and Mari who has flashbacks when she gets violently ill. 

Adam is the shy guy who keeps to himself, but when he meets Mari! Woah! That was a 360 I did not see coming. Mari the trouble soul that she is takes Adam under her wing to guide him in a sense. Lets face it, I didn't  think these two who make it very far after Mari had told Adam that she is no good for him a million times. I was pleasantly suprised as the book went on though. Let me just tell you, I want to smack Sam and Dustin both and knock them down a notch when it comes to how they try to dumb Adam down withbhis abilities. 

Chanse had me literally rooting out loud for Adam and Mari when Sam would try to back either of them into a corner. She had me questioning what would happen next and how far these two would actually make it with bith if their families against them. 

This book literally drug me in and I could not put it down. I felt as if ai live through these characters through their struggles and heartaches. These characters are very well written. I was astounded by the research Chanse has done with this book and how she has molded her characters. Harkhams Choice is the next book in my kindle queued for me to read and I am getting antsy with wanting to dive right in. Until we meet again, a great read and I will recommend this book/series to anyone.
