Strength (Mark of Nexus #1) by Carrie Butler
When college
student Rena Collins finds herself nose-to-chest with the campus
outcast, her rumor-laced notions are shattered. Handsome, considerate,
and seemingly sane, Wallace Blake doesn’t look like he spends his nights
alone, screaming and banging on the walls of his dorm room. Hell, he
doesn’t look like he spends his nights alone, period.Too curious for her own good, Rena vows to uncover the truth behind Wallace’s madman reputation--and how two seconds of contact had left her with bruises. Of course, there are a few setbacks along the way: guilt, admiration, feelings of the warm and fuzzy variety…
Not to mention the unwanted attention of Wallace's powerful, supernaturally-gifted family.
They’re a bloodline divided by opposing ideals, two soon-to-be warring factions that live in secret among us. When Rena ends up caught in their crossfire, Wallace has no choice but to save her by using his powers. Now they’re really in trouble. With war on the horizon and Rena’s life in the balance, he needs to put some distance between them. But Rena won’t let go. If fighting is what it takes to prove her own strength and keep Wallace in her life, then that’s what she’ll do--even if it means risking a whole lot more than her heart.
Author bio:
Carrie daydreamed her way through college—until they thrust a marketing
degree into her hands, slapped a summa cum laude seal on the corner, and
booted her out into a less-than-stellar job market. Instead of
panicking at the prospect of unemployment, she used her Midwestern logic
to steer into the skid and point her life in the direction she really
wanted to go: writing out those daydreams.

Rena is a good, strong heroine. She's also a fixer. She tries to fix everything. Especially Wallace's relationship with Cole. I loved Wallace, a misunderstood social outcast, from the beginning. It was funny reading everybody's speculations about Wallace's cluster headaches.
Cole, was kind of sketchy in the beginning. And even though he did some awful things during the book, he became a really likable character.
I loved Strength and can't wait for the sequel. Be sure to grab a copy if you love paranormal, NA, and romance.
