Reviews

[Pennie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the only book I read by this author. I bought it at our used book store simply because my mom's maiden name was Hyde. It was an interesting story but I think the author got carried away with details some times. It was a little slow getting started for me but overall it kept my interest.

couldn't hold my attention long. long on descriptions and details, short on action, suspense.
