Welcome to Charming High.
Sorry, we’re fresh out of charm …

Hallie:

I am a star.
I’m not famous, before you make that mistake.
Although, I guess I kind of am. Or I will be anyway. My future was planned long before I was born.
The definition of a star is a fixed luminous point in the night sky that is an incandescent body like the sun.
I am a star. I am fixed. I am luminous only when no one is looking. I was stuck to repeat the same night every single day.
Until I met Wreck. And he showed me how alive I could feel within my cage.

Wreck:

I am a knight.
I’m not a knight in shining armor, before you start thinking I’ll save you.
I am a knight in raging darkness.
Until I met Hallie. And she showed me how to break free of my battle-torn armor.

Wrecked is the first book in the Charming Knights series by Shana Vanterpool. An exhilarating contemporary romance series set deep in the lives of Charming High’s most beloved football team. Where the limits of good and evil are pushed, desires and dreams are twisted, and readers are immersed into the lives of people who have it all. Except their freedom…

This is my first time reading Shana Vanterpool and I have to say this book has now made Ms. Vanterpool a one click author for me. This dark and poetic story is not what I was expecting. I was taken into this world and devoured this story. Absolutely a must read!!

4.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 Stars
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2018
So this is the first time I have read by author Shana Vanterpool. I've passed some of her other books before and thought, hmmmm those look good I should read them, but I've just not had the time to actually stop and read anything by her yet. I also have to say that I'm not a big reader of young adult books, I'm mean I'll read them. But I just don't go out of my way to read them. But something about this one just jumped out or stuck out to me and made me want to read it.

Now usually this is where I seperate my reviews and talk about the two character's by themselves. But I think I'm going to talk about them together this time.

Oh Hallie and Wreck.... Wreck and Hallie.... These two were born into a life of privalage, fortune, secrets, lies..... These two probably didn't stand a chance staying apart from each other. They were destined to be together. I felt for both of them, having the families they did. I really liked Wreck when he would let his walls down and just be himself and let Hallie see the real him. I also really liked Hallie.

I really enjoyed this book, I thought it pulled you in from the beginning to the end. I didn't want to stop turning the pages. I felt myself loving the angst and drama in this book. I hated their parents for them and everything they put Wreck and Hallie through. But I also found myself at times really trying to figure out what was going on. I wouldn't say I was confused, but I definitely felt like at times I was reading between the lines more than needed to be read between and that maybe the facts were right in front of my face. But I really did enjoy this book and can't wait for more.

I'm giving this book 4.5 Stars out of 5!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Young Adult in High school setting
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2018
I almost didn't actually read this story because it was set in a highschool setting, but in the end I decided to pick it up because of the author behind it. I really did enjoy this story as it reminded me of the whole gossip girl richy rich class of teenagers. As the story was flowing there were some parts that were a little bit weird for me but I did still enjoy reading it. If I had to criticize anything about this book I would say the ending... it was intense in parts of this book so when the flourish died so quickly it left me thinking that's it? and wow that went quickly and with no fuss like the rest of the book. I would give this book a 3.5 stars and still recommend to others.

Hallie and Wreck have an unconventional relationship.. they were born to be together... but there will be demons they have to fight to get where both want to be.. but will they be able to get there and get rid of what has been holding them back all there lives?

Get to one clicking to see what happens.... Can't wait to see who is up next in this series!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unputdownable! Stunningly beautiful and unique
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2018
How do I properly describe a book that destroyed me in all the right ways? A dark YA? Dark romance? Enemies to lovers? Suspenseful YA thriller? Wrecked is all of that and more. I read this book in hours, and couldn't put it down (sorry Mom, who was trying to have a conversation with me). This story is so unique that i couldn't think of any other book like it. And I read 80 books a year.

This story is about greed, wealth, secrets and lies and it revolves around Hallie and Cage. Two teenagers unsatisfied with their lives and being played as pawns by their fathers, realize they have more in common than they may have originally thought. They are bent, beaten and blackmailed into the fathers ' master plan. They resent their role, but it isn't that black and white. And when they start to fall in love, secrets come out, making them feel more confined than ever before.

Cage is not easy to love. He feels that his heart is black. After all, his father said he was named Cage so he always remembered who had the key. You will find that Cage will do anything for Hallie, and it's his actions that make me feel like this story is a bit dark. And then you discover that their fathers are not just devious and greedy. They are evil incarnate. But again, nothing is what it seems. The secrets keep coming until the very end, and there's not what I consider a traditional HEA. But this ending works.

Vanterpool is clearly an adult, but her prose is stunningly authentic to the teenage experience. Yes, these aren't your average teens, but they still have the same emotions as every other teen. The teens experience love and lust, heartache and happiness...sometimes not being able to tell the difference between them. What do you do when you feel trapped? When you want to break out, but don't see a way? Maybe you cling to an unconventional love that bloomed from obsession.

" He was too gorgeous to ignore, off-limits, and so untainted by Charmant he smelled of freedom and gardening supplies. "

"I felt nothing period but a deep dark rage. It kept me going, that burning candle. Have me a reason to know myself before I lost it all to the falsity of my future."

" I guessed it made sense for someone who didn't care at all to be the master of everyone's empathy. "

" That kiss wasn't happiness, it was sealing holes so bigger ones wouldn't implode. But it had been what I craved. A measured recklessness, like falling toward the earth and engaging my parachute right before I plummeted. It was living and disobeying in the middle of rules and lies. "

"My fingers wrapped around his shoulders and I rode on my toes, holding on to him as Romeo and Juliet tasted their end."

" Because in some weird place in my heart, the burning in his eyes looked a lot like madness, and love was never far from madness. "

"Riches and legacies sometimes masked poverty and scars."

" I am overflowing with rage and love. I wasn't even sure they were different. To live is to rage, and to rage is to love. "

"Resenting this life doesn't make you any less part of it."

These are just some of the quotes I loved. It all transported me back to high school, where I wasn't rich, but lonely and fearful of the future. My feelings were just as mixed as these teens. And as the secrets poured out of the pages, I cried for all of these characters. I'm not sure I'm going to forget this book for a long time. It's stamped on my bleeding heart.
