MY REVIEW
I am going to try and give the best review I can without spoilers (EEEEEKKKK. I did say TRY) ok here it goessss..
4.5 STAR REVIEW****.
Ivy is the nice, pure-hearted good girl. Well that's how Gabe sees her..Well because quite frankly he is a stupid man whose head is up his ass. Don't get me wrong Ivy is all of what Gabe sees her as but she is SO much more!! She has always let herself fade into the background- not let herself be as confident and as sexy as she is, NO MORE! She is finally going to get what she wants - she is going after who she wants - her boss. Gabe.
He. Will. See. Her.
One of my favourite things about her is that she is strong. She decides to take charge of her life and not let herself be a victim especially not of her past. However, it's not her past she needs to worry about.
Gabe convinces himself he is just not good enough for Ivy when the attraction between them is palpable and they can't deny it anymore but Ivy simply has other plans. Gabe also takes on the role of Ivy's protector and unwillingly, Tessa's too, though he gets Kai to protect Tessa more so. Tessa and Gabe don't hit it off and there is tension there but Kai and Tessa have some sort of relationship and we get glimpses of this in the book.
This story took on quite a dark theme. It felt like an episode of Pretty Little Liars! for anyone who watches it you will understand, the angst, the tension, the not knowing, holding your breath until the very last second. Don't think you know what's going on in this book, you really don't. This story really shows just how true 'Looks can be deceiving' can be. J B Heller told this story to perfection, the growth of the story and of the many characters and stories within the story is truly fascinating and compelling writing. This book was a fresh of breath air for me, it was new and it was addicting.
I loved the writing style. It's my favourite style of writing actually, Both character POV's. The story flows fantastically together and it's hard to put it down, Just one think that irked me.. some of it jumped.. and yes I know we use our imagination in books.. it's not a big deal it's just something I'm curious about. Why Ivy went to Sloane? How? and When ?? it just confused me a little but I liked that Sloane was brought into it. I don't know maybe we will find out about it eventually but It's just something that left me thinking! curious.. wondering.
The book was amazing and I am so glad I read it because I don't usually go for dark books but this was amazing and this is definitely a compelling story that will stick with you.
