My Review:
This is one of those books I read in one night. I couldn’t put it down. It was screaming with intrigue. Lynette Eason, has a way of writing that just compels me to to stay up past my bedtime. One day I will learn not to start her book when it is dark outside.
Every character caught my attention. However, I felt some major details were missing. Even though there will be more books in the future – it just feels like this is NOT a standalone book. It needs the rest of the series to understand it fully.
This book did a great job in entertaining and made you wonder who was the “bad guy”.
Due to the violent nature of the book, I would only recommend for mature eyes.
I can’t wait to read more of Lynette Eason!
Blessings to you! You are loved!
