I really liked the first couple chapters, but the middle REALLY dragged and the end just felt like a totally rushed attempt to be clever. Didn't work for me at all.

My first book by this author, and it certainly hasn't inspired me to seek out more. I thought the "twists" were completely predictable, the characters flat and unappealing, and the conflict anticlimactic. Wasn't much to it, really.

My problem with memoirs is that I never really believe them. So, if this were a work of fiction? Meh. The family was so clearly NOT off-the-grid (phone lines, electricity, etc.) that I was a bit put-off by all the time spent on that aspect of things. ...more

It was fine. More or less what I expected. Reasonably pleasant fluff with only a few times I wanted to throw my reader against the wall. Nothing revolutionary.

I really didn't like the heroine. Didn't care if she lived or died. And she didn't actually do much to solve the mystery, which was frustrating. Meh. I didn't hate it, but it wasn't a memorable reading experience, either.

Writers, Romance, & Rainbows — 275 members — last activity Jun 25, 2015 03:01AM
Our Mission Statement : Just what is WRR 2013? That’s quite simple to answer. It stands for ‘Writers, Romance, & Rainbows – A GBLT book fair for those Our Mission Statement : Just what is WRR 2013? That’s quite simple to answer. It stands for ‘Writers, Romance, & Rainbows – A GBLT book fair for those in the GBLT Romance genre’. The explanation for that, however, is a bit more extensive. With all the different cons and such happening through the year, only a few were geared toward those in the GBLT romance genre. Not surprising since this genre is still up and coming. It has made great strides, but sadly, still not as popular as the het romances as far as being mainstream goes. It hasn’t stopped us though. The books are still getting out there and the authors are still writing them. Unfortunately, these cons can only allow so many authors to attend. Then there is the price of registration. Flights, hotels, and other miscellany are added as well. All totaled up, attending one of these events can set an author back thousands. And for a newbie or even a mid-author, sometimes that price is just too much to pay. Especially if you’re relegated to a lesser role than what you expected. And what of the other’s that are involved in the writing process? The pubs, editors, cover artists, photographers, reviewers, readers, and fans? What about them? Don’t they have a right to be a part of these events as well? So far, these events are for the pubs, authors, fans, and readers. But what if there was an event that could encompass everyone involved in the writing process? That could bring all these people under one roof to talk, meet, promo, and sell their work? That question had plagued Deborah and I for many months. Both of us had attended events, but none were geared for everyone. Then the wonderful guys at Bent-con invited us to share our media with their media in a conflagration of GBLT fireworks. Both of us jumped at the chance. What better place to have everyone involved in the writing process sharing knowledge, disparate experience, and their wares to those who will appreciate it. It was a win/win for everyone. ...more
