The debut book itself is about young teenagers Echo Emerson and Noah Hutchins who have issues in their lives like any other normal teenagers do. They do not come from a very rich background and have not been handed anything on a plate ever. These are youngsters who were forced to mature early to deal with their situations. Noah wears a bad boy attitude to hide his good nature. After losing his parents and going through foster homes, he thinks he has developed a thick skin. He is fighting with the system to gain custody of his two younger brothers who were separated by CPS. As an adult he knows it is an uphill task to convince the authorities but is willing to make that commitment. Echo, on the other hand, has lost some of her memories which naturally makes her edgy. She has a dark past that she does not fully comprehend due to her lost memories. She has a restraining order from her own mother but she does not know why. She has questionable scars on her arms that she hides. Both these damaged but interesting characters meet at a mandated meeting supervised by the Child Protective Services.

The second series of young adult love by Katie McGarry is the Thunder Road series which deals with the motorcycle club called ‘The Reign of Terror’. The first book is titled ‘Nowhere But Here’ with lead characters Emily and Oz who are poles apart in their views and in their thinking yet there seems to be something that connects them together. Emily who has lived a sheltered life till now, finally gets to discover her biological father who belongs to this deadly group ‘The Reign of Terror’. Her father has secrets which he is not ready to share with her. Oz is a confused teenager who dreams of becoming a member of this rogue motorcycle club. He wears leather jackets and dreams of riding with them. He thinks of them as family and wants to join them in their adventures. The two young lovers meet each other and slowly their situations compel them to look at life differently. Katie McGarry was able to very clearly depict the violence, loyalty and the bond that men share in a motorcycle club.

His fear for her safety forces him to act desperately so that he can keep her alive. Katie has written a heart warming story set in a cruel environment that grips its readers from page one.

    Love all her books. Need I say more? No. But I most definitely want to. I started reading her books at age 12/13 and fell in love with everything and everyone. I love Isaiah and Rachel. Abby is probably my favorite girl and I can definitely relate to how Logan feels about taking care of his diabetes.
    IT SUCKS! I can’t wait to see what Katie gives us next.
