Fans of Bully will not be disappointed with Until You. Penelope Douglas delivers big time and meets all the expectations that this fan had for Until You. Being inside Jared's head was one crazy emotional roller coaster ride. With the addition of Until You, Penelope has become an author I trust and will automatically buy anything this woman writes. I recommend this series with all my heart. If I could marry this series and have a family with it I so totally would! :) Until You: A Novel” is one the best and most entertaining novels with a very unique and impressive story. Penelope Douglas is the author of this fantastic novel. Penelope is the author of many beautiful novels. Her most famous novels are Credence, Bully, Aflame, Birthday Girl, Kill Switch, Rival, Punk 57, Falling Away, Dark romance, The Next Flame, Misconduct Misconduct and many fantastic novels Jared is one angry dude. Really angry. You can feel his anger, his loss of control. He just wants to lash out. The problem is he couldn't lash out at the people who have hurt him and abandoned him, mainly his father and mother. So he focused all his anger at that one person. Being in Jared's head felt like a poison that I couldn't get out fast enough from. He's worse than Travis Maddox in my opinion. I hate saying that because pretty much in the scheme of New Adult, Travis Maddox (hero from Jamie McGuire's "Beautiful" series) is the template go-to guy for abusive alpha males who are violent, misogynstic jerks who have messed up pasts supposedly. (Only, to be blunt, Travis really doesn't have such a messed up past - he lost his mom and then basically has this abrasive personality all on his own, so...) During your commute: If you take public transportation or have a long commute, you may find it helpful to use that time to read.

Anyone who's read Bully knows that Jared slept around A LOT... but really reading about it from his POV was still like a bitter pill to swallow. She just kept standing there, probably pouting, but after a few seconds she took the seat next to me. Our legs dangled together off the branch. I was really happy that I decided to go ahead and read this book right after reading Bully. It gave me such a deeper reading experience and I didn't feel like I was reading the same thing. Obviously, there are similar stories but PD manages to change things up enough that it feels fresh. I definitely would recommend reading Bully before this one though. Can't wait for Madoc's and Jax's books!Why couldn’t I get that girl out from under my skin?! Her hot little pyrotechnics weren’t going to help flush her out, either. I love her so much that I hate her. I hate that I can't let her go. We used to be friends, but I found out that I couldn't trust her—or anyone else. So I hurt her. I pushed her away. But I still need her. She centers me. Engaging her, challenging her, pushing her—it’s the one last part of me that feels anything anymore.

i'm so glad that we get to meet more characters in this book as well as see different sides of the existing ones we’ve already known from the first book. it’s not necessarily that we see their good sides. it’s that we see them from a different angle and are able to understand them more. i know this is kind of the whole point of a companion novel. ( duhh!!) what i’m saying is that this book has managed to make me hate these characters less. Both sit at the kitchen table enjoying whatever drug is on the menu today, not paying any attention to what is going on with the two helpless kids in the room.The I-want-you-but-I-hate-you signal coming from Jared drove me batshit crazy at times. But I really can't complain that much since that's one of the best part of this book. Jared tried so hard so hold on to his hate but found himself falling deeper and deeper in love with Tate instead. When he's not being an ass though, Jared can be sweet, funny and protective. None of it matters, Tate!” I tightened the towel around my waist and looked at her over the center island that she’d put between us. “I just made love to you. To you! And it will only ever be you again!”

My eyes hadn’t left hers, but the trance was broken and I was finally able to let out a breath. “See you in a year, Tatum,” I bit out, hoping it sounded like a threat. Tate - I'm still enchanted by her and maybe a little more so just hearing about her from Jared's POV. I love how she keeps him on his toes. She rolled her eyes at me. “So I thought you might get off your ass and say goodbye. She’ll be gone for a whole year, Jared. You were friends once.”I adore this series and while I can't say I was on edge with what's going to happen, It was awesome to get into Jared's head. So I'm having a Penelope Douglas marathon this long weekend in hopes that I can finish this whole series!! I love her so much that I hate her. I hate that I can’t let her go. We used to be friends, but I found out that I couldn’t trust her—or anyone else. So I hurt her. I pushed her away. But I still need her. She centers me. Engaging her, challenging her, pushing her—it’s the one last part of me that feels anything anymore.

My father releases me and walks over to the deep freezer in the corner of the kitchen and pounds twice on the lid. “You still alive in there?” Maybe that's the thing I'd been missing about love. You don't withhold it or partition it out when it's deserved. You can't control it like that.” But I stay quiet, because quiet is how he likes his kids. If he gets what he wants, maybe he’ll let my brother out. He has to be freezing in there, and I don’t know if he has enough air. How long can someone survive in a freezer? Maybe he’s already dead. The shit on my dresser had been shoved to the floor, but it wasn’t unusual for me to make a mess when I was wasted. Other than some disarray, the room was quiet and safe. When I hated Tate, my world got small. I didn't see all the other shit. My mum, my dad, or my brother in foster care, I loved hating herTate always loved the rain. She came alive in it, and I hadn't been able to enjoy seeing her like this in years. Part of me always wondered what magic she saw in thunderstorms, and part of me didn't need to know. Just watching her was like hearing music in my head.” I kept repeating it over and over again, trying to get my heart to stop beating so fast. I wanted to go and meet our new neighbors, but I was nervous.
