My Personal Review

I have really been experimenting with different genres of books lately.  Usually I sit pretty firmly with the types that I read.  I really enjoy crime, mystery, suspense, sometimes horror, and (most recently) fantasy.  This book was a little bit different, so I was attracted to it.  At first, the description read like it would be a drama, mystery, and even a little suspenseful, and most definitely a love story.

I read a lot, and I know I say this quite often, but this book really expanded my normal range, and I really like it.  That is the good thing about blogging, I get to find new things and realize that I have been missing out for a long time!

The detail within this book is astounding, and I feel that each character was developed really well.  The dialogue was rich and easy to understand.

A true romance, usually I find these cheesy and easy to unravel.  Like Danielle Steele or Nicholas Sparks.  I can call the ending a mile away.  What I really enjoyed about this book, though, is that the additional twists in the plot really provided focus in different areas and not just the blooming romance.

The book ended to soon, and I would love to see a follow-up!

This book (paperback, because I'm partial to them!) costs $10.95 on Amazon, and shipping is free with Amazon Prime.  

You can also grab the Kindle edition for $2.99 (or free for Kindle Unlimited!).
