Oh my, this was a fun and crazy book to read by Amanda Tru. I love all of her books and this one was quick and easy, and I didn’t want to put it down. Whenever I read one of her books, I know there will be wonderful drama and sweet romance, but there will also be twists and turns. This one definitely stays with that theme! However, I don’t think I’d want to be one of her characters, because she puts them through so much! Of course, they come out sweet at the end, but Oh the things they go through! Amanda Tru is really a wonderful author who brings to life characters who end up digging down into your soul! She has a unique skill of blending words together, so I was blown away by the depth of this story. I laughed, I smiled, I cried, and I held my breath, throughout the whole book. There were so many emotions in just one reading! I highly recommend you pick this book up and read it, it just might change how you view things, and each moment in your life! I was given this book by the publisher which did not influence my review in any way, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
I loved this! (More so when I found out it’s actually meant to be a prequel to a yet-to-be-written series.)
It’s short so it didn’t take me long to read and there was surprise toward the end I didn’t see coming, so that was fun.
My only complaint was that it didn’t end quite as neatly (happily ever after set in concrete) as I wished, but that was explained by it being a prequel.
This was a short story, but it certainly moved right along and kept my attention! I had no idea what was going to happen until it actually happened! Great twist at the end!
Oh, my goodness! This story has lots of twists & turns that I didn't see coming. An exceptional story that had me guessing all the way through, which I love. It's worth the time to read. I wonder about the other books in the series.
The lead female character in this book is so intriguing. I wish there more books featuring her that I could enjoy. If I could will it into being, this book would just be the beginning of an entire series.
