An avid reader, what time she has to herself is usually spent buried in the pages of a book. She enjoys nearly every genre, but particularly enjoys paranormal fiction of all types and age ranges.
While she constantly has stories and characters rolling around in her head, Avery called to her the loudest. After several months of conversing with Avery, Ema decided to put pen to paper and let others visit Eirny and its beloved residents.
I can't believe i am giving this 2 stars. There are fast paced novel but i call this one super fast paced. A lot of things has happened for a short period of time. And i have issues about the sudden switching of POV's. I sometimes have to go back rereading their conversations to check who's character is talking. This one has HEA but it looks like there's a sequel to it. (And that guy on the cover looks like a favorite).
Very different from the usual story lines. I adore Eden!! Is there a part two in the works??!! This gives a very different view on a crime that many don't report. NO ONE deserves to be brutalized !!!! So I think a second book would be very good!!
