Four Crowns, good read, on the way to swagger. This was almost a five crown what held me back was the length of time of the back story and the romance portion.

When I received my advanced readers copy I did a shimmy, shake and a watered down version of the fist pump. A.K.A I was excited. The book didn’t disappoint. I will be honest the first part of the book was solely focused on building the back story and really building the question of was Ava simply crazy. I urge readers to hang in there because it is worth it. I do want to caution if you are looking for a romance book then this isn’t for you this is a suspense thriller although lumped into the romantic suspense category. Ava was already married to Wyatt when the story began which made it a little awkward when she began to have feelings for Austin Dern. Thankfully the author didn’t focus on the awkward romance in fact for all the details that were put into the plot the romance portion seemed to be almost an afterthought. Even though my favorite genre is romantic suspense I almost wished the author would have left it out because it didn’t seem to fit.

I found myself blown away by her writing style. However, what really made this book great were the intricate details. Needless to say even the smallest details are given attention and play into the big picture. I want to give examples so bad its killing me but I don’t want to give anything away. The end, the end, the end shocked me. To clarify I wasn’t shocked at one of the characters involvement (again its killing me to hold back) what shocked me was that characters action and how everything played out. I have to give the author kudos for not being predictable.
