Who exactly is after her, and what does he want from her?
Opinion:
Need was an exciting book to read because of the use of suspense. The plot has great use of details and irony. This keeps the reader interested and willing to continue reading. The characters are not necessarily round, but they do display significant traits that differentiate them from each other. In the beginning of each chapter, it is named with a phobia. I thought this was unique, but after a while it didn't interest me and I stopped bothering to read them. The resolution of the book was definitely worthy of praise, and I loved the action that the climax had built. This is a great book for suspense and romance lovers to read.
