Title: Enigma
Author: Danielle Bannister
Genre: Romantic Suspense NA
Release Date: May 25, 2016
I’m the girl no one sees. The bum on the street corner you avert your eyes from. The child no one loved. The lost soul no one sees fit to save. A person could go crazy being that alone, but not me. I dug myself out of hell and carried the flames with me. Therapists would call me a pyromaniac if they ever found out my secret. I will always remain an enigma; the puzzle piece that just won’t fit.
Since I’m 18, I’ve decided to take charge of my life. Start over. Get a job…then disappear into the populace on my own terms. That was the plan. Until I ended up in Mullen, Nebraska and met Kyle King. He showed me a quiet peaceful life on a farm that was built with love and warmth. The kind of warmth even my precious fire couldn’t provide. Instead of dismissing me like the rest of the world, he chose to look right at me.
Maybe the world wasn’t so cruel.
Or maybe my downward spiral was just beginning.

My Review:
~~I received this in exchange for my honest opinion~~
This is the first book that I have read by Danielle, and I can tell you right now that it isn't going to be the last. From the very first page I was enthralled with the story. Sure you read about runaways all the time, but what you don't read about is the subject in this book (at least I don't read about it). There are some situations in this book that are not suitable for persons under 18, and there could be some triggers, but all-in-all, this book is amazing.
Danielle makes sure you are hanging on every word that she writes. She makes sure you see what is going on. You smell the farm, you see the barn and the farm house. You see the river and feel the excitement that is going through everyone. You also feel the pain, and feel the heartache that is in this book. Don't worry, I am not going to give anything away. This book has a raw nature to it. You want to go and consul everyone in the book. I recommend you get this book!
