Opinion:
From the very first chapter, I was hooked on this book. Kara Thomas does a great job of setting up the reader with suspense and questions that need to be answered. I never felt like I was being dragged along or that sections were being drawn out too long. The storyline made logical sense with both the timeline and the characters involved. I especially love the way she ended the novel. You think it's all wrapped up and then “bam,” an ending you never saw coming!
