Tiernan de Haas doesn’t care about anything
anymore. The only child of a film producer and his starlet wife, she’s
grown up with wealth and privilege but not love or guidance. Shipped off
to boarding schools from an early age, it was still impossible to
escape the loneliness and carve out a life of her own. The shadow of her
parents’ fame followed her everywhere.
And when they suddenly
pass away, she knows she should be devastated. But has anything really
changed? She’s always been alone, hasn’t she?
Jake Van der Berg,
her father’s stepbrother and her only living relative, assumes
guardianship of Tiernan who is still two months shy of eighteen. Sent to
live with him and his two sons, Noah and Kaleb, in the mountains of
Colorado, Tiernan soon learns that these men now have a say in what she
chooses to care and not care about anymore. As the three of them take
her under their wing, teach her to work and survive in the remote woods
far away from the rest of the world, she slowly finds her place among
them.
And as a part of them.
She also realizes that lines blur and rules become easy to break when no one else is watching.
One of them has her.
The other one wants her.
But he…
He’s going to keep her.

What I thought about Credence
When I read the synopsis of this book, it was obvious to this reader that this book was not about conventional relationships or conventional people. That being said, a questions that plagued me throughout this very dark not-really-a-romance -- where is the line between unconventional and just downright in need of professional help? When is a dysfunctional person over the line? Is there a line between love and obsession? Love and sex? Lots of lines in this story for this reader.
Tiernan loses her parents and gets sent to her father's stepbrother. It's clear from the start that there's no love lost here and it's a bit hard to believe that she would be sent there, but then there wouldn't be a story then, would there? If you are looking for logic here, you may not find it. This is story that you just have to suspend what you know and just go with it, if you can. It's not a book for everyone and it crosses the line with the content. I think that's what drew me to reading this book. How far can an author go with forbidden themes? This author tries to answer that, and that's the most interesting aspect of this story.
