This book was a real page turner with a surpise ending. Great suspense novel, with characters you will really love.
This was just an okay, it started good but about half way it just turned into another romance along with a little mystery, although I already had the mystery figured out, it was much too long and should've been cut down about 50 pages, I'm sure a lot would consider it very good book but I can't go that far when an author has to use pages and pages of descriptions as page filler just to make a book longer.
