This series has to be read in order because all 4 books are a continuous story, and it starts here with Find Me. In this one, we meet Shiloh as she moves into a new home, returns to society, and hopes to live an everyday life. Her big goal was to complete high school since she was forced into hiding before she could graduate. Things were kind of fast-paced because we quickly learned that Shiloh's not your average senior; she's actually in WITSEC, and the person who murdered her family is still out there. So even though her goal is to live a boring, everyday life, she is forced to constantly look over her shoulder and keep everyone an arm's length away. However, her new neighbors are going to test that boundary. Her new neighbors are four brothers; the two youngest are twins in the same grade as Shiloh. They fall so hard for her; seeing them fight over her is so much fun. But in this book, things are really laid back as they're all trying to figure each other out. It's a little unusual to see a high school senior move into a house alone and live her life independently. I kept wishing they were all in college instead of high school, but this first book was the only one I was on the high school train. We saw the most high school issues in this one, which made the most sense. The other students, especially the girls, bullied Shiloh hard. Most of it was due to jealousy, but she didn't back down, which also painted a target on her back. But this first book is my favorite series, even though it is slow-burn.
