This novel had a variety of stories written within a story, each running off at different tangents. The writing itself was fast-paced and interesting. There were times I loved it and hated it at the same time. If you like something different, this book's for you.(less)

Another well-written, enthralling novel by Malla Duncan. The situation was gripping, the characters strong and intriguing. This is the third book by the author that I've read. Each one is completely unique. Mystery, humour, terror. It's all there. Malla Duncan writes a compelling thriller. Definitely recommended.(less)

There were some really great moments in this novel and the suspense kept the pages turning. I loved the way the author revealed the secrets and history of the characters and how everything all came together. My only grievance was that the story ended rather abruptly. Does this mean there is another to come?(less)

This was an interesting tale of a love-triangle. I would have liked more development of the love relationships as events seemed to move along rather quickly. I did, however like the characters though I thought perhaps one of the brothers could have fought harder for the girl. The ending was rather abrupt which makes me wonder if there will be a sequel. I'd definitely like to read that. Overall, I enjoyed this novel.(less)

The sex scenes are wildly hot and all encompassing. The story ended prematurely without closure in a similar vein to Fifty Shades. There is no doubt that I will read the sequel. (less)

Yes, a few, but not too many to warrant the harsh criticism surrounding it. It was entertaining, enthralling in parts, and the character of Christian Grey holds it all together. There were elements I liked, elements I hated, but most importantly, elements that kept me reading to the end. One of my favourites for the year.(less)

Told in first person point-of-view, the story is powerfully and superbly written. Drawing from her own experiences, the author has portrayed the teenage character and her angst to perfection while exposing horrendous abuse. It is a compelling and emotional story. A real page turner.(less)
