It gets really intense towards the end & that’s where I fell in love with the story.

I have to say that in the beginning, this book was just okay for me, it wasn’t really amazing. Now how is anyone supposed to live up to that? According to the Bard, “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.” Somehow, I got all three. I’m not too worried, but even I have to admit she’s interfering with my focus on the goal.ĭid I mention I love Shakespeare? Yeah, I know. This one’s just a little more stubborn than most – she won’t even tell me her name! She’s smart, too. There’s a new girl at school, and it’s just a matter of time before she gives in to my charm. I’m Thomas Malone, and I’ve seen to it that the world revolves around me. As long as I manage to go pro for the best team in the world, I won’t have to worry about my father’s wrath. Girls practically beg to be added to my list of conquests. As their captain, my teammates will do anything I say – on or off the field. I’m the star keeper of my high school soccer team, and I’ve got major leagues scouting me. This book, like all other Shay Savage books, is written from the hero’s POV. The heroine is a girl that has just moved in with his dad, who is the sheriff of the town. I just didn’t really like that one as much I loved Shay Savage’s other books, so I went and read Offside, because even though I didn’t like Bastian’s Storm, I know Shay Savage can deliver great stories & I am sooo glad I did! The hero is the star goalkeeper of his high school soccer team & in the beginning of the book he was a total J-E-R-K! He was the typical high school star athlete that got away with anything! I’m glad he redeemed himself, because I hated his guts in the beginning. According to the Bard, 'Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.” Somehow, I got all three.I finished reading the second part of Surviving Raine titled Bastian’s Storm & I was a bit disappointed.
