Reviews

[Kelly Rouane · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed the storyline but found it hard to like the main character and her daughter until the last 10% of the book - I found them a little unbelievable. That aside, the story was good and easy to read.

Superb story. -1 star for personal taste - it was pretty gory. If I was into that, this would get a definite 5 stars from me.
