My review:
Excellent, well written plot intended to capture the
reader’s attention from beginning to end!!
That’s exactly what I thought about this book. It
was gripping, mind blowing, and not overly preachy, which I enjoyed. The author
did an amazing job at keeping me interested and wanting to find out what
happens next. I just couldn’t put it down.
The story moves along quickly and yes, it’s very
intriguing. It did a great job at keeping me guessing, entertained, and above
all, craving to know what would happen next.
Sam was my overall favorite character and I did find
myself admiring him. He’s very strong in a sweet kind of way, which I loved.
