Review:
Luckily,
I started reading this early in the day because I couldn’t put it down until I
was done! This story is full of mystery, suspense, guilt, love, reflection, and
a whole bunch of other stuff that will have your emotions locked to the pages.
Nathan
is a well-developed character that will have you feeling both hatred and hope.
The flashbacks give you a deeper understanding of the man he was and the man he
has become within the past couple of years. The secondary characters add so much
depth to the story, but it really is a story about Nathan, so there doesn’t need
to be too much depth to the information we need.
The
murder mystery will keep you asking who and why throughout the entire book. When
we get to the whodunit scene I was glued wide eyed and holding my breath.
Without giving the ending away, I just have to say it’s refreshing to read a
story that feels like a real ending instead of always the happily ever after for
the main character.
Overall
it’s a great, fairly quick, read that will have your attention from the first
word until the last. There were a few errors, but nothing too distracting. This
is a great read for you suspenseful types!
