Tour Stop & Giveaway: TOXIC by Rachel Van Dyken

Everyone has a secret...

Gabe Hyde is on borrowed time. He's been hiding his identity for over four years-hidden from the world that used to adore him--obsess over him--driven to the edge of insanity by one poor choice.
But that one choice, altered the course of his life forever.
Pretending isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially when pretending means hiding your real self from the people that care about you the most. But if anyone ever discovered the truth it wouldn't just be his life at risk--but hers.

Saylor doesn't hate men.
Just Gabe.
Only Gabe.


He's a reckless, happy-go-lucky, silver spoon fed pain in her ass. Everything about him makes her more and more confused. Unfortunately they both donate time at the same Group Home. If she wasn't afraid of flunking, she'd be long gone. She hates that she's attracted to him almost as much as he hates that he's attracted to her--and she can tell, especially since their first encounter ended up making her knees so weak she couldn't form coherent sentences for weeks afterwards. But the closer she gets to him, the more confused she becomes. He isn't who he says he is, and he's hiding something big.

What happen when two worlds collide? Two worlds that never should have met in the first place? Some secrets are too big to be hidden forever--the only question? Will his destroy everyone he loves? Or finally bring about the redemption he's been craving for the past four years?

Everyone has a secret...What's yours?


Review:
BEST RACHEL VAN DYKEN BOOK EVER!!! I absolutely love the characters in this series. Each one has their own personal hell they're going through or have went through and it's so heart warming to read each story. When I read Ruin, I knew there was something more to Gabe, but I never expected what I got. This is one of my favorite books of the year so far and Gabe is probably my favorite character of the year and definitely my favorite character of this series. Rachel Van Dyken can deliver wit, romance, suspense, heartache and humor all in one book and does it like nobody else.

Gabe is going through life wanting to forget and feeling guilty for wanting forget. He owes his past so much more than that. He is playing a part, pretending all the time and he gets so tired of not being himself. Then he meets Saylor and she turns his world upside down. she makes him want to be more, to live again. This is a book that I will read over and over again and still have the same heartache even though I know everything already, lol.
