I love this series, and can not wait for this book to be out. Also, check out this cover. The covers for this series are some of my favorites. I'm looking forward to posting my review for it in the coming weeks. If you haven't already, be sure to go pick up Defiance, the first book in the series.

Part Six in the riveting romantic thriller about a family on the run from a deadly past and a first love that will transcend secrets, lies and danger…

To save Tessa's brother and sister, she and Tristan must deceive the entire town. But if their plan succeeds, Tessa will have to make an unbearable choice between her siblings and her true love. And when her nightmares become real, she may lose it all—her family, her boyfriend and even her life.

RUN TO YOU is Tessa and Tristan's saga—two books about psychic gifts, secret lives and dangerous loves. Each book is told in three parts: a total of six shattering reads that will stay with you long after the last page. Book One is First Sight, Second Glance, and Third Charm. Book Two is Fourth Shadow, Fifth Touch, and Sixth Sense.



An exciting conclusion to a thrilling series. Kensie pulled out all the stops with this part of the story. Just as I think I have things figured out, Kenise threw me for a loop with her shocking twist, and betrayal. 

Tristan and Tessa have a relationship that has withstood so much during the Run To You saga. I've loved seeing their feelings for each other come full circle. They have both made sacrifices for each other, and made choices that may not always make sense, but to them they are doing what they feel is best for the person they love. I admire that. I liked that their romance wasn't the only element of love in this story. Tristan's family is family who's grown to love Tessa, despite all the horrible things her parents have done (more on that is revealed in this story as well). I love their unwavering love for Tessa.... I won't say any more as to not spoil anything. 

Tristan and Tessa have a lot going against them, as well as a lot going for them. With new dangers and those she loves at risk of being hurt, Tessa, who has recently been reunited with her family, she has to make some tough choices. Follow her heart, or protect those whom are dependant on her. No matter what path she choices, it won't be easy and hearts will be broken. Of course, nothing ever goes as planned. Tessa nightmares turn into a dangerous reality. Cue the plot twist! I should have known that this story wouldn't end so easily, and would include suspense and action. 

Talk about a fabulous twist. What Kensie does with it, was something that I wasn't excepting. I had my guesses on whom I thought may try to do something to Tessa and her family, but the ultimate act of betrayal was one I didn't see coming. It was awesome. If I thought that was good, the double betrayal shocked me even more. One of the things I've enjoyed about the Run To You saga is the surprises Kensie throws into each part of the saga. I liked that things were unpredictable. Kind of like the events that lead up to the ending of this exciting saga. Let's just say this saga ends the same way it started, with plenty of action, danger, and the right amount of romance. 

RUN TO YOU is a sage I've enjoyed reading, and ones I'd recommend to YA readers. My only complaint is that these are e-books (which is great), but since they're not published books I can't add to my bookshelves. If they ever get published into physical book form, I'd totally buy them. 



Whether you're just starting to read this series, or you've been faithfully reading each new released installment, be sure to join the RUN TO YOU read along, which kicked off Monday!
