[Maria · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lots of unexpected twists and turns! Didn't really like the characters but there was lots going on in the plot

[Gary David Reed · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good story as usual

Good story. Moved along quickly. Having a little trouble with ending but still enjoyed the book. You may need a hanky .

[Helen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a typical book for this genre really – I enjoyed it but it didn’t massively stand out hence the rating of only three stars. It had a good story line, was paced well and there were plenty of unexpected twists and turns. Unfortunately for me I couldn’t ever really warm up to the characters so although it was a nice, fast read it wasn’t one that will stay with me – I think the ending didn’t quite sit well with me either but I can’t go into details without going in for a massive spoiler.
