**I received a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.**
Overall, I enjoyed reading this novel. The story and characters were well developed by the end of the book. I admit the beginning of this book did not draw me in and I struggled to keep reading. Halfway through the story becomes much richer and deeper then I couldn't put the book down. I am glad I had the opportunity to experience this story.
