CJ Kim is a normal college student. He is doing what most college students do, figuring himself out, sometimes the hard way. He has some strange dreams now and then, but he just thinks they are just dreams. They’re certainly nothing to worry about when reality is pressing down so hard on him. Between the demands of school and family, he has enough on his mind.
He ends up with a huge crush on a senior that is on the baseball team. He doesn’t even like baseball, but he goes to games just to see him. Of course, he’ll never notice a gay and nerdy English major like CJ. Things are good, though. He even has a good relationship with his parents and his twin sisters.
He never expects his family’s past to come back to haunt him. It rears its head in the worst way possible and CJ finds himself the prisoner of a vengeful man. Thrust into something that goes beyond what can be considered normal, CJ finds out that there’s a fate out there trying to destroy him. He doesn’t know how, but he has to reach for a destiny that he can just barely see.

Reviews
CJ and Michael go through some major events together which are all too much to handle in this dark romance by Beverly Anderson. This is a MM trama filled rollercoaster ride. Reading this book was hard and emotional. As hard as it was, due to the subject matter, I enjoyed reading her work.
I would like to read more of her work in the future. 4⭐⭐⭐⭐’s for me, but it was worth reading for sure.
As always, please check your triggers before diving into this book. I for one have zero triggers!
