Crash and Burn (Daddy's Girls 0.5) by Chelsea Camaron
Crash.....a crash ended it all and started it all. Dina Fowler is attending college with her long time best friend Maggie Lawson. Life is good and carefree. Until the crash that changed it all. Her freshman year ends with the loss of her parents in a car accident, spiraling Dina into a deep depression. Secluding herself as she picks up the pieces to her life, slowly she finds the only person she has left is Maggie.
Chance encounters sometimes make the most incredible moments, other times they crash and burn. A chance encounter brings Michael barreling into a lost and vulnerable Dina's life. Playing on every weakness she has, he weasels his way into her heart. Slow build up to the hell that was soon to become Dina's daily nightmare. Her parents are gone. She wants out but has no idea how to escape her new reality.
Can she find her way out? Or will she be lost completely burning in her own personal hell?

Crash and Burn by Chelsea CamaronMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I'm not sure where to begin with this. Though an interesting story, I felt it was great seeing the stages of an abusive relationship portrayed so well. I find Ryder intersting. Dina was a decent character as well. Young, alone, naive. Maggie was great! She had me laughing when she was giving the speach to Michael. What I didn't like, is that this felt like it was just a few chapters from a book. I understand it's a novella, a prequal, what ever you want to call it. It's not a good cliff hanger. When I finished, I felt, lost, not excited to read more. I hope the others in this series don't end the same way. It was like being ripped off. If the others end the way this did, I won't waste my time. It's one thing to cliff hang an ending to keep readers interested. It's another to just stop in the middle of a story. I didn't hate the story, and if this one had a little more to it, I would have no qualms about reading the rest. But as it is, I'm not sure whether I'll actually read the rest or not. We'll see.
