Story
Nate Monson was gorgeous, obnoxiously wealthy, and a player. He was also the person who could destroy my world with a single decision. I walked into that bar looking for him. He saw me. I saw him. The chemistry sizzled between us, but no. I hated Nate Monson. I hated him with everything in me, even though my body did not. It didn't matter. Nothing I wanted mattered. He thought I wanted to get laid. What I wanted was for him to disappear. But first, I had to tell him that he had a daughter.

Story
To survive where I live, you have two options. You can be a Normal - a cheerleader, jock, member of the debate team, or on the yearbook committee. You pretend everything is normal. Or you can be crew. You insult us? We hurt you. You hurt us? We really hurt you. And if you f--k with us, we will end you. My name is Bren. I'm the only female in the Wolf Crew - the best, fiercest, and most dangerous crew there is - and we have a rule: There's no falling in love. Well...too late.

Story
Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me. And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy. Except they weren’t alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him. Scout Raiden. Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing. He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up. The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem.

Story
I have loved Channing Monroe all my life. In first grade, he asked for my Trapper Keeper. I hit him in the head with it. Third grade, we were best friends. We kissed in seventh grade. In eighth grade, he turned into a bad boy and the rest was a tumultuous storm. Growing up, the problem was never love for us. Bad times. Good times. There were times when I felt our love in every inch of my body, vibrating, making me feel like it could bring me back to life. The problem was us. The problem is that we're living in two different worlds now. Fallen Crest and its millionaires for me.

Story
He walked into school on his first day and owned it. I guess that's what happens when you're a prick, rich, and you're best friends with the ruling school's king. Also didn't hurt that he's drop-dead gorgeous. That's all fine. I mean, I have nothing to do with them. I'm a loner, invisible, and that's how I wanted it to be. I was even proud of it, until I wasn't. His name is Blaise Devroe. My name is Aspen Monson. He only knew how to get, command, and demand attention. I knew how to do everything but that. And this is our story.

Hockey with benefits. That was what Mara proposed, and I was down. She said no feelings, and she meant it. Just benefits. No strings attached. Nothing else. Not even friendship. College was her escape, including us. I didn't have time for a girlfriend. I had classes, the team, my family, and the game. It was all working too.... Until somewhere down the line, things got messy. Until somehow we were dealing with threats, secrets, rivals, and so much more. Until I began to want her in ways that weren't part of the deal. Our agreement didn't just get checked into the wall, it got obliterated.

I watched him in high school; I knew his reputation. I knew he was wealthy, privileged, and mean. He ran the show back then, a partier and a player. Then he came back from college, back to the town I never left. He’s different now. He comes into the bar, and I know his routine. I know which stool he’ll pick. I know his favorite drink. I know which sports team he’ll want on the television screen. And I watch as he gets hit on. Sometimes he leaves the bar with a woman. Sometimes he doesn’t. But I’m always there, tending to his drinks. He gives me a smile and a polite nod back.

I asked for his criteria for bed buddies - that's the PG version. He swore at me and said he didn’t do groupies. And just like that, our friendship was off to a great start. Reese Forster was the starting point guard for the Seattle Thunder. Gorgeous. Cocky. Loved by the nation. He’s also attending preseason basketball training camp where I used to work.

He told me to settle. He asked what was wrong with me. He called me an easy target. That was within minutes when I first met Caden Banks. I labeled him an asshole, but he was more than that. Arrogant. Smug. Alpha. He was also to-die-for gorgeous, and my stepbrother's fraternity brother. Okay, yes I was a little naive, a tad bit socially awkward, and the smallest amount of stalker-ish, but if Caden Banks thought he could tell me what to do, he had another thing coming.

Story
I crawled into Ryan Jensen’s bed that first night by accident. I barely knew him. I thought it was his sister’s bed - her room. It took seconds to realize my error, and I should've left... I didn’t. I didn’t jump out. I didn’t get embarrassed. I relaxed. And that night, in that moment, it was the only thing I craved. I asked to stay. He let me, and I slept. The truth? I never wanted to leave his bed. If I could've stayed forever, I would have. He became my sanctuary. Because - four hours earlier - my twin sister killed herself.

I shouldn't have remembered him. He was just a guy who walked through a restaurant. I didn't know his name. We never made eye contact. There was no connection between us at all. But I could feel him. The tingle down my spine. The command in his presence. The snap of tension in the air around him. That was the first time I saw him, and I was captivated.

I’ll find you. I just need to sift through the story of us to get to where you might be. I’ve got places to look and a list of names. The police have a list of names, too. See now? There’s another lie. There is only one person they’re really looking at, Molly. And that’s yours truly.

I'm not your typical girl. I've been running away from the memories that haunt me for so long that depression has become my only comfort. I was content in the darkness...until Wes Michels offered to be my light. I didn't know that time wasn't my ally - that every second that ticked past was one step closer to the end of something that was beginning to mean the end of myself. He tried to warn me. He promised me all he was able to offer - each moment as it came - but it would never be enough.

As a college student, I spend my days in class and my evenings selling sage to PTA moms who do moon rituals to manifest better parking spaces. My best friend is a cat who likes pizza, and a “night out” includes hand delivering mysterious packages to the local “coven” of small business owners who repeatedly invite me to their meetings - clothing optional. My life is weird. But it’s not magic. Magic isn’t real. At least, that’s what I believed - right up until the moment he walks into my store.

I have loved Channing Monroe all my life. In first grade, he asked for my Trapper Keeper. I hit him in the head with it. Third grade, we were best friends. We kissed in seventh grade. In eighth grade, he turned into a bad boy and the rest was a tumultuous storm. Growing up, the problem was never love for us. Bad times. Good times. There were times when I felt our love in every inch of my body, vibrating, making me feel like it could bring me back to life. The problem was us. The problem is that we're living in two different worlds now. Fallen Crest and its millionaires for me.

Hockey with benefits. That was what Mara proposed, and I was down. She said no feelings, and she meant it. Just benefits. No strings attached. Nothing else. Not even friendship. College was her escape, including us. I didn't have time for a girlfriend. I had classes, the team, my family, and the game. It was all working too.... Until somewhere down the line, things got messy. Until somehow we were dealing with threats, secrets, rivals, and so much more. Until I began to want her in ways that weren't part of the deal. Our agreement didn't just get checked into the wall, it got obliterated.

He walked into school on his first day and owned it. I guess that's what happens when you're a prick, rich, and you're best friends with the ruling school's king. Also didn't hurt that he's drop-dead gorgeous. That's all fine. I mean, I have nothing to do with them. I'm a loner, invisible, and that's how I wanted it to be. I was even proud of it, until I wasn't. His name is Blaise Devroe. My name is Aspen Monson. He only knew how to get, command, and demand attention. I knew how to do everything but that. And this is our story.

Judge for yourself (Give it a chance)...
I don't know why there are so many negative reviews for this book. I almost returned it before even reading it but I wanted the full Fallen Crest storyline. This is just a side story novella. It's not important to the main story BUT it is still entertaining. This is my first audible review but I had to make this point to others reading the negative reviews. If you're a fan of Tijan and the Fallen Crest world, then you should definitely read this one. It's a nice little addition after the end of the Fallen Crest story. Now I'm ready to start the Crew series and I can't wait to get through that so I can see them all together in Fallen Crest Campout.

A must for all Fallen Crest Fans
Tijan’s Fallen Crest gang are hosting a Halloween party to remember. With a fun plot line and lots of twists and turns, this story was tense and creepy all at the same time. Fun, funny, and haunting whilst still having those wonderful moments with the Kade’s and their friends. It was wonderful catching up with Sam, Mason and the gang, and as usual there’s a lovely Tijan twist to the story. The audio version is great and as usual Saskia Maarleveld narrates Sam to perfection. A must for all Fallen Crest fans.

Disappointing
Saskia was spot on per usual with her narrating skills. I liked the general idea of the story. It was a little creepy & the characters were great. The ending was very disappointing & lame. I was also surprised at so much vulgar language in this story. Most of it was not necessary so I found it annoyingly overkill.

Pointless
WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS
This book was an utterly pointless addition to the Fallen Crest series. I listened to this considerably long series because I first came upon The Boy I Grew Up With and then the Crew duet, and I liked those well enough--despite a few complaints--only to find out that this series actually came before them. But I became increasingly disenchanted with Tijan's writing with each Fallen Crest installment. The storylines were unnecessarily complex while the motivations of the characters were exceedingly juvenile (e.g. The leader of the popular crowd at the private school seeks revenge because the rich, popular football star and his brother chose to attend the public school, and she whines that they should have been HER friends. Seriously?). All of the adults behave reprehensibly and then wonder what on earth causes their teenage children to act out.
Each book was littered with inconsistencies, contradictions, and implausabilities. I could write an entire novel just fixing the mistakes the author makes about her own characters and timeline. For example, Becky Salloway, Jeff Salloway's cousin, is erroneously called Becky Sullivan in one book and is said to be Tate Sullivan's cousin, but then she goes back to being Salloway in the subsequent book. Adam Quinn is said to have been accepted to Harvard Law School, but he is only going into his junior year of undergrad, so there's no way he would have been accepted to law school yet. The group's second house at Cain University supposedly has a security perimeter around it that sends an alert to their cell phones if anyone other than them crosses it. How exactly does that work? Are the four residents of the house microchipped? And how come other people--like Adam Quinn--keep entering the property without any alerts being sent? Why is the friendship between Becky and Sam put up on a pedestal when they were really only friends for like three weeks? In high school Sam is recruited by Cain University at her cross country meet, and she says that they are extra interested in her when the scout finds out she also runs track and field, yet in Fallen Crest Forever (book 7), which starts at the beginning of her junior year at Cain, we are told that she never went out for the cross country team, only the track team, which, scholarship aside, doesn't make sense because long-distance running is what she excels at. In Fallen Crest Forever (book 7), Sam says that had Taylor arrived any earlier when Adam Quinn was threatening Mason with a gun that it would have been Taylor's second gun-related incident, the first being when her mother was shot and killed in front of her. But the second incident was in Logan Kade (book 5.5) when Taylor herself is shot at by her friend's bookie. Then the third incident was in Fallen Crest Home (book 6) when they attend a party in Rousseau where a biker shoots a rival biker, an event that Taylor specifically likens to the incident with her mother. So Adam Quinn would have been Taylor's FOURTH gun-related incident.
That brings me to this book. I unfortunately read a couple reviews that contained spoilers but didn't warn against them prior to listening to the book, so I had some idea of what to expect, and I was not looking forward to it. That being said, those reviews were wrong. REMINDER: THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR FALLEN CREST NIGHTMARE. The book does not really take place before the events in Fallen Crest Forever, the previous book in the series. The events in Fallen Crest Nightmare take place AFTER the events in the main part of Forever, but before the time period covered in Forever's epilogue. This confused me immensely when I took into account the other review that said that Taylor dies in this book since she is present in Forever's epilogue. I chalked it up to another inconsistency on the author's part--albeit a MAJOR one--but when I listened to the whole book, I found that there was an explanation for it. There was not, however, an explanation for why the costume Sam saw on the creepy guy at the club was on her and Mason's bedroom floor. Was Mason the guy at the club? That doesn't make any sense since he wouldn't have had time to get there from Los Angeles that fast, nor would he want to scare Sam. Did he just happen to have the same costume as the creepy guy? Or did Sam see the costume prior to going to the club and then in her drunken haze just imagine some guy wearing it? That also probably doesn't make sense because Mason hadn't been in Fallen Crest before she went to the club, so how would she have seen his costume? Did the creepy guy break into their house and leave the costume in their room to scare them? That's the most likely scenario, but Mason doesn't seem weirded out by the presence of the costume, nor do they follow up on it. So it just remains unexplained.
Then the "bonus scene" at the end served no purpose whatsoever. If the novella was intended as just a scary story, then it should have ended on the discovery of the mysterious costume. In that case the costume would have made more sense as a spine-tingling cliffhanger meant to make you speculate as to how it got there, but instead they go about their business the next day intending to scare some frat guy who had been harassing a female classmate. And Sam's plan to scare the guy while he is working in a haunted house by playing sound effects of a woman screaming and other scary noises is asinine. HE'S WORKING IN A HAUNTED HOUSE! All those sounds would be expected to be heard in that setting, so why would they scare him?
This novella shouldn't even really be included in the Fallen Crest series. It doesn't add anything to the story, especially since it is book 7.5 after Fallen Crest Forever (book 7), which concludes with the flash forward HEA. In fact, there is really no reason why this story needed to be about the Fallen Crest group of characters. It could have featured a brand new cast and been much more enjoyable considering how the preexisting histories of the Fallen Crest group contribute to the unbelievability of the plot. Furthermore, this book spent so much time recapping the characters' relationships that it ended up being a lot longer than it needed to be. All of the books in the series do a little bit of recap of important details from previous books just like most series do to refresh the memories of readers/listeners who consume the books as they are released rather than one right after the other once they have all been released, but this book went overboard. This is probably because it was originally featured in a magazine, where I suppose it would likely be read by people who had not necessarily read/listened to the rest of the books, but being in the category of people who listened to all the books consecutively, the excessive recap was annoying.
Basically, you can skip this book, probably even the whole series.
