Erin K, Reviewer

This was my first Sandie Jones book, but I've heard good things about her books previously. This book is a difficult one for me to review because there were elements I liked and some things that just didn't work for me. The main thing that prevents this from being a 4 or 5-star read is that there were just too many ambiguous things that left me with questions. I hate having to deal with loose ends in a story!

The plotlines in themselves aren't too exciting, and I didn't think it was necessary to have the book divided into two narrators. It left the pacing off in the middle when more of the action should have been ramping up. However, despite this, I did feel compelled to keep reading to see where the story was going, and this is generally a good sign for a book I'm reading.

Overall, if I read positive reviews of her future work, I'd still probably consider checking it out, but I don't think I would classify her as a fave author right now.
