About AFTER US:
Sometimes secrets kill. Maybe slowly, maybe painfully. Maybe all at once.
Melissa smiles. She flirts. She jokes. But she never shows her scars. Eight months after tragedy ripped her from her closest friend, Melissa is broken. Inside her grows a tumor, fed by grief, rage, and the painful memory of a single forbidden kiss.
Javier has scars of his own: a bullet wound, and the memory of a cousin shot in the heart. Life in the States was supposed to be a new beginning, but a boy obsessed by vengeance has no time for the American dream. To honor his familia, Javier joins the gang who set up his cousin's murder. The entrance price is blood. Death is the only escape.
These two broken souls could make each other whole again--or be shattered forever.
Our time will come. And we'll be ready.

Review by: TRACY
First my suggestion would be to read the first book in the story Before You. It will help greatly with the character development in After Us.
I really wanted to like this book, but after reading it twice I just didn’t. There was way too much going on in one story. You had the history/love story between Melissa and Javier. You had Javier’s past and him wanting to get revenge on people in his past. You had Melissa and her “scars”. Then they merged it all together. I think if the author limited the book to a few storylines then it might have been better. It was hard to wrap my head around what was happening and when. To me the book just didn’t flow well. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t a bad book but it just wasn’t what I had anticipated it to be.
3.5 STARS
