Summary
All I wanted was a little trouble. Okay, so, maybe, choosing Cruz Donovan’s 18th birthday party wasn’t the way to go about it. Three years ago, I fell for him. I thought he fell for me, too. But when he broke it off, he took my heart, and as if that wasn’t enough, he took my best friends, too.
They aren’t the same boys I knew before high school started. They’ve got all kinds of secrets they’re keeping from me. If I want back in, I’ve got to be ready to play their game. I might be a killer soccer player, but I’m not real eager to join a team when they won’t tell me who the opponent is, how to score a goal, or what rules I’m supposed to be following.
I’m in the wrong place at the wrong time - a pawn in games I don’t understand. Maybe, I never should have gone looking for trouble in the first place. Is it too late to change my mind?

This is so much more than a teen love story
This is so much more than a teen love story. There’s a lot going on. Lots of action and adventure. Well written characters that you will fall for. Excellent performance from Sarah.

Cliffhanger, but listen anyway
I rarely rate a story with a cliffhanger 5 stars, but Defiance Falls is a really interesting start to the trilogy. It's one of those terrible cliffhangers where it breaks right at a big event, so plan to listen to Defiance Falls Revolution right away. That one ends in a better place (otherwise I'd be more hesitant with my recommendation). Defiance Falls is part new adult, part second chance and it seems to be heading toward suspense/action as Hazel gets caught in the middle.
Sarah Puckett is one of my favorite narrators. She does a great job bringing the story to life, and I highly recommend listening to the audio version.

Defiance Falls
I have loved every Ali Dean book I have listened to and this one is no exception. It's a great beginning to what seems like will be an amazing series. The story centers around Hazel and Cruz who are both seniors in high school and both are star soccer players at their school. It has a captivating storyline that includes secrets and lies, danger, bad guys and the start of a sweet romance. It does end in a cliffhanger but it is a trilogy so it's to be expected. I can't wait to continue on with this series to see what happens next. Sarah Puckett did a wonderful job, as always, bringing this story to life.

Wow what did I just listen to! Ali Dean does it again, this was my first audio book and I wasn’t sure I would like it but I loved it. The story line as usual grips you from the very first words I had to listen to it in 1 go no way could I stop!.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Angsty YA
There’s more going here then just high school shenanigans and this was an amazing start to the Defiance Falls series. Ali Dean writes amazingly detailed young adult books and this is my second series of hers.
Sarah Puckett is amazing with all the characters. I really enjoy her voices and the feeling and expression she puts into her work.
Can’t wait for the next book.

Fantastic start!
I love authors who are versatile and this first book in Ali Dean's new series proves how versatile she can be. While it is young adult sports, Defiance Falls has mystery and intrigue that has caught my attention. Hazel has always been wrapped up in soccer, but now her senior year, she is looking to change things up a little. Going to Cruz's 18th birthday party may just be the start of something new for her, but it's much different than she expects. She and Cruz have a history, and now he is coming back again. With Cruz comes the group of friends who are ready to let her in, but she can tell there is something she doesn't know. Secrets are kept, passion is high and Hazel is about to find out what is going on. I love this kind of story. It invests me in the couple, but it also is keeping me on the edge of my seat as I try and figure out what all the families are hiding. Left on a cliffhanger, I am queuing up book 2 right away!
Sarah Puckett narrates this story and I loved it! She is very good at getting to know her characters and I love how she portrays their personalities. Just the right amount of angst and suspense in her voice, she too has left me hanging! Can't wait for more!

Great read
This is a great story with all the angst of teenage life, peer pressure and some weird going ons with friends and family. There is a mystery which starts to unravel around Hazel and it drags her into danger.
Great characters with an interesting plot slowly coming to light.
Superb narration.

Twisty turny topsy turvy goodness!!
Cruz Donovan, the popular guy in school.. he's more than just a party boy, more than just a jock, and much more than you could ever expect.
Hazel Ross decides she is tired of being the good girl, she is tired of being strict and doing nothing but playing soccer and working on her straight A's. She wants to find a little bit of trouble, a little bit of fun, and figure out where she belongs. And boy does she find all of that and more!
Hazel and Cruz have a magnetic connection that can't be denied that everyone can feel. There is an electric energy pulsing between the two of them. Hazel is drawn to Cruz despite their past, and vice versa. Little does she know.
This book was so good. It's a cross between new adult and young adult with a hint of mystery. I loved it and was surprised by the events that take place. I didn't expect it. I am a fan of Ali Dean's book and the sweet chemistry between the lead characters but this is a different story line than her normal writing and she nailed it!!
Sarah Puckett is spot on with her emotions throughout this book and really knew how to get you to understand her feelings during the events that took place!

Easy listening
It was such an easy to listen to story but was also full of tension, surprises and sweetness as well as deception.
There will be some triggering aspects for some listeners but I won't ruin the story for anyone. Perhaps proceed with caution.
I really liked the characters and the relationships between the main group. While it was pretty light on the steam, I could see the connection between Cruz and Hazel. I thought Cruz was actually really sweet at times, despite what is obviously going on behind the scenes.
Fantastic place for a cliffhanger! I'm going straight into book two to get some answers.
Sarah did a fabulous job narrating this book.
