Mea has a horrid family, her mother wanted her to be something she isn't, her Father never stood up for her and he sister well they are just as bad as her Mother. Even thought she got handed a crappy card when it came to handing out parents that doesn't stop them being her parents. She will never have a family that she wants but with time maybe someone will accept her and learn to love her like she deserves.

Queue Josh. Josh is a sweetheart, right from the first time he saw her he had his sights set on her. Josh will do whatever it takes to have Mea in his arms, his heart and in his life forever!

The story of Mea and Josh was a touching one. It broke my heart, stomped on it and then put it in a blender. For such a short story I felt so many emotions. I could feel the hurt and regret Mea felt for not having doing what her mum had asked, yet I also felt how relieved she was to be away from her mother and amidst a family that excepted her for how she was.

Mea has some secrets she thought she had buried well enough so that nobody would know but there are some sharp eyes about and people work out Mea's secret and it is not taken like she thought it would be. Mea thinks to little of herself, she doesn't see herself how others see her, she can't see past what her Mother has made her believe she is. She is more worthy than she knows.

Emersyn has done it again. I liked Adjournment but I loved Hanging Pawns and I for one can not wait for book three in the Fate series. Emersyn is fastly becomming my favourite indie author.
