Pretty good read and characters.

[Ethelann · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was a little slow at first to me until about halfway through. Otherwise, it was a good story.

It was fine, I just needed a quick read. The story was good but you could totally see what was coming!

3.5⭐️

[Loraine Nunley · Rating 4 out of 5]

This started a little slow in character development but once I got to know Annie a little better, I was invested in her story. The suspense was tight throughout with definite villains and an evil ‘who-knows-what?’ atmosphere. I really enjoyed the good triumphing over evil and the deep regard for right and human life expressed by both Annie and Brady. Their love story was a little fast at the end but I did believe they would eventually end up together.

Devo dire che ho avuto bisogno di un po' di tempo per entrare in sintonia con i due protagonisti. Mi ha anche un po' "disturbato" che praticamente ci fosse un'intera cittadina succube di una persona... Comunque, è stata la solita veloce lettura, abbastanza piacevole.

Really good read!

Good story

This was a really good story. It must have been a challenge to write with the difficulties so many people were facing and still holding on to hope in the midst of it all.

This book was one that I had a very hard time putting down. Real-life storyline!! Awesome author!

[Pascale’s*ARC,Unwind,Read,Review · Rating 2 out of 5]

Too wordy. Lots of description but not a lot of dialogue. Too slow. Did not get very far before I gave up.
