Unsteady by Elizabeth York 5 Stars!

Be prepared for a fast paced, action packed story! This is my first book by Elizabeth York, but it certainly won't be my last! This story had me caught up in a whirlwind of emotions and I couldn't put it down! The characters are true to life and I found that one moment I would hate someone, but the next I would love them! There is so much happening in this story! Suspense, mystery, love, romance, lying, secrets and more are packed into this novel. I really enjoyed the way that the book would go back and forth between Logan and London's childhood and present. It gives a glimpse of what happened when they met and tells the story of the twelve years they grew up together. It jumps to 6 years later when they meet again in present times. When London walked out of Logan's life right after her 18th birthday, it devastated him! He made a one eighty and was not the same person he was. He had trust issues and tried to runaway from the devastation London had caused. London kept the reason she left a secret and it almost killed her in the process. Although they were no longer together, they both fulfilled their childhood dreams with their careers. Logan always wanted to fly and travel. He became a pilot and that is where he is truly happy. It was the only place he was able to escape his broken heart and truly be free. London became a CIA agent. She always wanted to be a linguist and save the world from bad people. She was too trusting, but felt like she was doing good by helping take down bad guys. The family element in this story is just another layer that adds to this book. Both London and Logan grew up in London at a Catholic boarding school. Their families put them there when they were right while they stayed in the states. Their families thought that this would be the best for their children. Both of their fathers felt that their children would have the best opportunity to become who they needed to be by sending them off. London's family felt that she was kind and naive and wouldn't survive in the mafia house she was in. Logan's dad was devastated after the death of his wife and mother of Logan, he thought taking him to the boarding school would give him the love and support that he couldn't get at home anymore. The first day Logan and London met, they were instant best friends. Growing up, they would sneak out and spend every available moment together. They resented their families and relied on each other.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good story with many layers. The secrets, betrayal, mystery, romance, suspense, and love make this story unique and well written. Be prepared to loose yourself while reading this book. You won't be able to put it down! These characters will stay with the reader long after the story is read.
