[Pamela Darling · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is what I class as an easy read. The characters came to life, but were not over complicated. The main character Maria seeks revenge, but eventually finds it within herself to accept her situation without destroying the lives of others. Satisfying ending.

Enjoyed this book, read it in a few days. Great storyline, bit of a anti climax ending but worth a read.
