The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death.
~Oscar Wilde~
~Oscar Wilde~
Adoration is not profound enough a word to express the
depth of my love for her. From the moment she walked into my life and
set my heart and soul on fire, not a day’s gone by that she hasn’t
plagued my every thought.
We were each other’s completion. She was everything I wasn’t–the sigh to my roar, the virtue to my sin, the cure to my wounds.
We Were One.
Until the unthinkable happened.
That I’ve survived such a tragedy without having completely lost it,
is a mystery in itself. But as my mind starts to blur the lines between
reality and my delusional heart, I begin to question everything,
including my sanity.
And then the real mystery begins . . .
Looking Glass #2
Nico’s story
As I usually did when I first arrived at the lake, I parked and lit up a smoke so I could stake the place out by myself for a little while first. I’d heard about and seen enough of the twins now to know they were getting popular with the boys. Not in a bad way, but from what Nolan told me, even the quieter seemingly shyer one of the two had just as many admirers as the more outgoing one. But I’d yet to, nor did I plan to, socialize with either—ever.“Did it hurt?”I should’ve known right then those deep blue eyes that close, coupled with that sweet voice, would be the end of me. It was one of the twins—but unlike most of the folk in town, I knew exactly which one—stood before me, staring at my arm curiously.Trying not to get too sucked into her intoxicatingly playful eyes, I looked away from them as our eyes met and I glanced down at what she was staring at instead. I couldn’t help smirking. She was asking about my latest tattoo.“A little,” I said, not making too much of it, then glanced back at her. Smiling at those curious eyes just couldn’t be helped, so I did as I continued to indulge. “But it’s the best kind of pain there is. The kind that hurts so good.”I knew flirting with her was a risk, but I could see the way she was looking at me—the way most girls did when I took them in so unabashedly, making no secret of my dirty thoughts.She was younger than most girls I normally hung out with. I figured a few more risqué comments from me might have her red as a beet and walking away as she should.“That thing between your legs,” she said, making me stop mid-drag of my cigarette, and my brows jumped at attention. “It just keeps getting bigger.”Coughing what little smoke I’d inhaled, I proceeded to make an ass of myself nearly choking then laughing until I was finally able to speak. “What?”

Part 2 of an ongoing series
My We Were One Review . . .
When I said yes to this book to review I didn't realize it was part 2 of a series and also the alternate POV of the Girl in the Mirror. Once I realized this I quickly read the Girl in The Mirror and quite liked it. But there is a downfall to reading the first one so soon before reading We Were One. Because when reading We Were One I felt it very repetitive to the Girl in the Mirror. However, I know if it had been months between I would have liked it much more as the repetitveness would have been refreshing to have the original story in the forefront.
However, I did like to get the story from Nico's POV. Their love story was epic and strong, so it was nice to hear both point of views. Plus we got to get the before story of Nico and Maddie. But with both books because the secret is obviously the same, I did feel a tiny bit let down with the secret. I was expecting something much bigger so when the reason for the secret was revealed I was ' that's it?, that seems like a lot of work for just that.' Thankfully the rest of the story was beautiful and good that it didn't effect me as much as it could have.
Anyone would be lucky to be loved by a Cortez boy and especially Nico. Seeing the story through Nico's eyes was even more beautiful, because in the Girl in the Mirror we have more of the suspense going but with We Were One we get more of the love story and the angst Nico had to go through.
I am officially hooked on the Cortez boys and I can't wait for Nolan's story.
3 . 5 First love thumbs up!
