I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I was intrigued by the concept of this book, and the first few chapters had me hooked, despite the high level of anxiety it caused me. However, with the right payoff, I can handle it when a book makes me anxious. Thrillers, by their very definition, are intended to put you on the edge of your seat.
But I quickly became very frustrated with the characters. The main character was naive and I felt so horrible for him as he was set up to take the fall, and I wanted to shake some sense into his wife. It was miserable to see her cave so quickly for someone who was so obviously of poor character. And unfortunately the ending did nothing to ease my anxiety.
It's well written and for those of you who love high intensity thrillers, I would recommend this book.

Twisted Story
This was actually a good read. I'm a bit late with my review but man this story had so many twists and turns I didn't know what was going to happen next. I am very curious as to what is going to happen to Soloman and Milan. Things like this is why you don't mess with big time drug dealers or take the bait on something and have no idea what it is. Very well written. Though there were a few minor grammatical and spelling mistakes but luckily that didn't take away from the story itself.

Big Boy Pond
This was a decent story. It took too long for it to get into the meat and potatoes of the story for me. The main characters played a dangerous game that resulted in a lot of lies and deceitful behavior. If part two picks up at the pace part 1 left off, I'll check it out
