Katie Hallman is done with douchebags. Done with guys who treat her like crap and leave her broken. But then Stryker Grant is there anyway. With his numerous piercings and bleached hair, he’s the polar opposite of all of her past relationships, which makes him the perfect candidate.
At first, Katie just sees him as a physical escape from her previous rocky relationship, and Stryker doesn’t seem to mind just being a distraction from Katie’s problems. But soon he’s getting under her skin, peeling back layers she’d rather keep covered. She tries to make it clear that she doesn’t want a relationship, but keeps breaking her own rules.
Then a tragedy sends Katie into the only arms who are there to catch her, and she’ll realize that she needs him more than she ever thought possible. But is she ready to let herself trust another guy with her already-battered heart? Or will she push him away to protect herself from getting hurt again?

I first met Stryker and Katie in Deeper We Fall and enjoyed them as supporting characters. Katie evolved noticeably from in Deeper We Fall where she was a seemingly Barbie girl to someone with much more substance in Faster We Burn. We learn in Faster We Burn that a lot of this is because she has constantly been trying to be someone she isn't. We also learn to love her as if she is one of our own friends.

Stryker isn't really a ladies man but he isn't a relationship guy either. He is a loyal and trustworthy friend and just happens to be awesome on any instruments. He sees something in Katie and he isn't sure what but it draws him in unlike any other girl has been able to do. I found Stryker's personality very attractive and enjoyed him more and more as a dived deeper into the book.

The story starts off roughly about in the middle of Deeper We Fall timeline wise. Because of this we are reminded about a lot of happenings we already know but we are given a lot of information we didn't get the first time.

For so much of the story we watch as these two fight their desire for more from each other, but don't want to be apart. Tragedy comes into their lives that tests them and helps force them to see if they are truly meant for more than just distraction.

I loved this book as much as I loved Deeper We Fall, though My Favorite Mistake still remains my top love of the three. Ms. Cameron does an awesome job of telling a story of love and friendship with a bit of angst and humor to help balance it out. I never seem to be able to put her books down and this one was no exception. I am definitely looking forward to reading more of her books.

You don't have to read Deeper We Fall to read this book but I would highly recommend it so that you don't spoil your read of Deeper We Fall.

Read this book, I think you will enjoy it and smile when it is all over.

While I think that New Adult is the greatest thing since sliced bread, I must admit that every now and again I find that it becomes... stale (stale in the sense that oftentimes the plots of the books/ the characters are near identical- broken girl who has a bad history with a male, playerish bad boy, love/ hate relationship, falling into one another's beds, girl's past coming to light, girl running away, boy chasing girl, happily ever after, and companion novel for secondary character). However, when I find myself becoming frustrated with the genre, I read one of Chelsea's books and it completely restores my faith in it- Chelsea and her characters truly march to the beat of their own drums.

Stryker and Katie are perhaps one of my most favourite NA characters ever. Why? Because they compliment one another so perfectly. Both aren't afraid to tell it like it is, each one is able to life the other out of the darkness that consumes them, both realize the importance of friends and family, and so forth. Aside from the characters, another strength of this book are the emotions- specifically the emotions resulting from a situation involving Katie. The depth and realism of these emotions are second to none- I literally had a stomachache/ heart palpitations while reading the scene as I can relate to it so well (this is only the third time ever that I have experienced a physical reaction to the emotions stemming from a book).

Additionally, like the previous book, I LOVED each and every one of the secondary characters in this installment I love the fact that they are truly each their own person/ extremely developed- you have no cookie-cutter or "blah" secondary characters here! I have no doubt that each of them could carry their own books.

All in all, while I had thought that I loved the first book in this series, "Deeper We Fall", my feelings for that book are NOTHING compared to this- there is not denying that Chelsea is growing tremendously as an author with each book that she pens. I think that Chelsea has an amazing career ahead of her (especially in the realm of New Adult) and I, specifically, CANNOT wait to see what she has in store for these characters next!

When I'm reading a romance book, I want to root for the couple to get together, but in this case I was kind of ambivalent. I read the first book in this series over a year ago, and I didn't really remember that much about it. It does have some overlap with this one (even though it focuses on different characters), so I did feel a lost a few times.

I didn't love Katie or Stryker. Katie was mean to Stryker at first, and I kept wondering why he put up with that. But to be fair, Stryker was a dick to Katie at times, so maybe that evens it out? I also really hated his attitude toward Ric, essentially blaming her for starting drama when he was a least 50% at fault.

I found myself really liking Katie's sister, Kayla, and her boyfriend Adam, and I wanted to know more about their story. The ending seemed kind of abrupt, but I guess they will pop up again in the other character's books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the first

This is the second book in the series and although it glosses quickly over what happened in book one, the majority of the events take place after book one has finished and we still get to see more of the characters from book one.

Although we never get an answer as to why she loves pink so much we do get to learn a lot more about Katie. Unfortunately she is still dealing with the Zack issue, she has another family emergency and both her and Stryker have their 'relationship' to figure out.

Stryker is a secret softie and cares for Katie in a way that he has never done before with any of the other girls he has been with. He is there when she needs her, and she turns up to be there when he needs someone.

It takes time but eventually they both help sort the other out until they both can't live without the other. Both sides really being the other side of their soul and being the true person that the other needs.

It's a really good read, but slightly less good than the first book.

Faster We Burn (Fall and Rise, Book Two)
Im ersten Band von der Fall & Rise-Serie lernten wir Zan und Lottie kennen und die Gruppe von Freunden, die sich um die zwei an der Uni gruppiert hat.
In Faster we Burn geht es um Stryker und Katie. Für das Verständnis muss man den ersten Teil nicht gelesen haben - ich habe ihn aber noch mal vorab gelesen, weil ich ihn so super fand.
Katie ist das Cheerleader-Girl: kommt aus gutem Hause, ist hübsch, intelligent (gut, darüber lässt sich streiten) und lebt ihren pinken Barbie-Traum.
Stryker ist das genaue Gegenteil: ein Punk ohne richtiges Elternhaus. Genial und daher hat er eine Stipendium - für alles begabt, aber irgendwie immer der Außenseiter.
Nachdem Katies Freund sie übelst behandelt landen die zwei im Bett. Und als der typ sie noch verbrügelt, ist Stryker für sie da. Denn die kleine Barbie hat mehr als nur ein paar Probleme und casual sex scheint da ein prima Mittel zu sein. Nur so casual bleibt es nicht.
Erst als weitere Schicksalschläge Katie und Stryker treffen, lernen sie, dass man manchmal über seinen Schatten springen muss, um glücklich zu sein und Bindungen manchmal nicht so dramatisch sind, wie sie sich anhören.

Wie bereits gesagt: ich liebe alles, was diese Frau schreibt - aber: dieses Mal hat sie einige Klischees bedient und das fand ich etwas schade. Zwei Todesfälle? Die Schwester, die immer mit einer Bombe herinaplatzte, wenn Katie gerade im Mittelpunkt stand wegen etwas negativem?
Dazu kommt, dass ich Katie schon im ersten Band nicht so mochte. sie wird zwar sympatischer, aber all das Pink irritiert mich bis zum Schluss.
Letztendlich ist es trotzdem eine schöne Geschichte und 4 Sterne allemal wert!

Bin schon gespannt, wer im nächsten Band dran ist. Ich hoffe auf will und Aubrey - oder doch lieber auf Trishilla und Max?

Well were do I start, it is amazing loved if from the start, and couldn't put it down. It was so nice to still hear so much from all the crew. I really loved the story between katie and Stryker, there was times I wanted to slap them both, but it was nice to see how they both handled pain and still managed to find what they wanted in the end. This is a must read book, but you really need to read deep we fall first. I would recomend this book to people who love a love story they isn't all hearts and flowers, becuase life isn't like that and nor is this book.
