To his amazement this large, chaotic family takes him under their wing – each teenager assuming Sam is a friend of another sibling.

Avery just has to stay immune to Jeremy’s charming shenanigans. Easy…sort of. But Avery’s war against Vin has brought trouble to the De Lainey door and he can’t survive this fight alone.
