A Beautiful Dark, #1

On the night of Skye's
ISBN 0061990655
(ISBN13: 9780061990656)
seventeenth birthday, she meets two enigmatic strangers. Complete opposites - like fire and ice - Asher is dark and wild, while Devin is fair and aloof. Their sudden appearance sends Skye's life into a tailspin. She has no idea what they want, or why they seem to follow her every move - only that their presence coincides with a flurry of strange events. Soon she begins to doubt not just the identity of the two not, but also the truth about her own past.
In the dead of a bitingly cold Colorado winter, Skye finds herself coming to terms with the impossible secret that threats to shatter her world. Torn between Asher, who she can't help falling for, and Devin, who she can't stay away from, the consequences of Skye's choice will reach further than the three of them can ever imagine.

First Impression
Skye seems like a down-to-earth person. Asher the typical bad boy, and Devin the placid one. 

My Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I felt compelled to read until I had finished, leaving me questioning what would happen till the end....
It's Skye's birthday and her friends have planned a surprise party. When she steps out for a breath of fresh air, this mysterious stranger is there. When she goes back inside she notices that things begin to get strange from that point forward.
Both Asher (the stranger from her party) and Devin turn up at school and put Skye's life apart at the seams. Everywhere she looks one or both of them are there, and she has no idea why.
The ending for me was a big shocker I wasn't expecting it at all...makes you want to read the next book A Fractured Light.
