5 Stars!
I'm beginning to believe that I will read anything that has Margaret McHeyzer's name on it. Mistrust is the third book that I've read of hers, and I have loved every one.
Dakota had a great junior year until one night, everything changed.. She found herself in a situation that showed her who her true friends were and who she could truly trust. Her true rock was her sister, Sam. I loved the relationship they had. Sam was always there trying to make her smile or holding her while she cried. I loved what Sam told Dakota about being each others strength...
“Sometimes, Dakota, we find the strength we need in others. My time will come when I’ll need you and you’ll be my strength, so for now let me be yours.”
Dakota also found comfort in Sophie and Reece. I liked that they all hung out together no matter what they did. Sophie and Dakota's friendship was new, but Reece and Dakota had been friends since they were younger.
I loved Reece. He was the perfect person for Dakota. He helped her get through everything, as well as being there for her as she tried to move on. He was patient and kind and that's exactly what she needed. I think I highlighted almost every loving thing Reece said to her. He really had a way with words.
“You, Dakota, put a spell on me when I was nine years old. Now, you damn well own me.”
“Feel the way my heart beats.” He presses my hand further to his chest. “It only beats for you. No one else holds it in their hand the way you do.”
That's just a little example of the things he said that had me falling for him. There were many more moments that made me fall! Although the story line was tough, I really did enjoy it. The connection that the characters had was perfect. I would love to read more about all of the characters from this story! I am looking forward to my next Margaret McHayzer novel.

Excerpt
Dragging myself out of the gymnasium and down the hall, I try and get to the side double-doors. But with no one here to help me, it's difficult. I need to sit for a moment out on the steps leading to the back field and gather myself.
My legs become heavier as I get to the doors. The cyclone happening inside my head is growing thicker while my vision is so unclear I can barely make out any objects.
Stumbling down the first step, I barely recognize where I am.
“What’s happening?” I think I say.
There’s a cacophony of dense sounds; a combination of white noise, mumbling, and a beat which doesn’t make sense.

“What’s happening?” I think I say.
There’s a cacophony of dense sounds; a combination of white noise, mumbling, and a beat which doesn’t make sense.
My eyes are now so heavy I can barely open them and my legs are completely weighted as I attempt to make my way down the stairs. I think I’m going to pass out.
Author Bio
Possibly it's the fact there are 26 letters in the English alphabet, and they can create something so beautiful or so empowering they're capable to change our lives.
How important is it that we break suit and stretch our minds?
I like to think of myself as 'unique'. My stories aren't for everyone, and sometimes I may push what you believe to be 'normal'.
Normal is subjective.
I prefer to be known as a person who's never been 'bound by custom' but is 'unique by choice'.
I hope you do read and enjoy my stories.
