Tiernan de Haas doesn’t care about anything anymore. The only child of a film producer and his starlet wife, she’s grown up with wealth and privilege but not love or guidance. Shipped off to boarding schools from an early age, it was still impossible to escape the loneliness and carve out a life of her own. The shadow of her parents’ fame followed her everywhere.
And when they suddenly pass away, she knows she should be devastated. But has anything really changed? She’s always been alone, hasn’t she?
Jake Van der Berg, her father’s stepbrother and her only living relative, assumes guardianship of Tiernan who is still two months shy of eighteen. Sent to live with him and his two sons, Noah and Kaleb, in the mountains of Colorado, Tiernan soon learns that these men now have a say in what she chooses to care and not care about anymore. As the three of them take her under their wing, teach her to work and survive in the remote woods far away from the rest of the world, she slowly finds her place among them.
And as a part of them.
She also realizes that lines blur and rules become easy to break when no one else is watching.
One of them has her.
The other one wants her.
But he…
He’s going to keep her.
I went into this book pretty blind and about 40% through I was like what the HECK am I reading?! It is like when something bad is happening, and you know you should look away, but you just can’t. Credence was straight addicting. It was haunting and spicy and honestly, I could not put it down.
When you meet Jake, Noah, and Kaleb you instantly see the allure of each of them. Each have something different to offer and each want to protect Tiernan in their own way. I will say, I did lean towards Kaleb right from the beginning. It must be the quiet, brooding that does it for me.
As far as rating this book I could rate it a 3, but honestly, I could also rate it a 5. Once it hit about 30% I could NOT stop reading. More so, the writing and the way the scene was set is so well done. It makes the book even more addictive. My brain is really twisted up over this one, and it will definitely stay with me for a while.
