I left Hope – the only place I’ve ever felt at home. So now what? Where do I go from here?
When I left, I didn’t just leave my home. I left my friends, my sisters, and Stephan… I just found them. I can’t lose them now.
I know that I want to do MY music. I need to remember WHY I wanted to play music in the first place. And the only way to get that is by firing my dad, but that may be harder than I thought.
On top of everything, I now have cameras following me around everywhere. Even my own home isn’t safe anymore.
I’ve come to realize that normal will never be an option for me.

Review of Faded
Faded was such a great sequel! I loved it from beginning to end and literally did not put it down. Jaded ended with such a shocker. I really didn't know where Faded was going to beginning, but Mercy did an amazing job continuing the story that keeps me on my toes. I know for sure this trilogy always will.
The relationship between Scarlett and Stephan obviously have their bumps (I'm sure you know why if you know how Jaded ended!) BUT they ended up staying strong and sweet. Stephan was a great support for Scarlett. She has to make a lot of important decisions for herself in Faded and she couldn't have done it without him. I also really love the character that Stephan has become. For a lot of the book he really was just a guy (a little horny at times and it was hilarious)! Mercy does a great job of staying true to them being young adults even though they are having to make adult-ish decisions!
I'm also really excited for what's to come with Alec and Bridgett. I could just see the tension coming off the page between them but because Scarlett is so preoccupied the reason why that is isn't revealed!
Overall I thought Faded was a great 2nd book. Even though I'm pretty sure this ending was almost as a killer as the ending of Jaded (but in a good way!) For some reason while I was reading it I felt that Faded's writing style was a mix between Jillian Dodd and Michelle Mankin. I don't know if any one has read any of their books but I would be curious to know if someone else felt the same way. It's a great mix to have!
I would recommend Faded to any Young Adult lover! Just don't forget to read Jaded first! <3
