Review: I was fascinated by the synopsis of this book and could hardly wait to start reading it when the opportunity arose. The beginning was a bit difficult to get through, and rather confusing, but I was determined to finish it, and I am very glad that I did. Once the action started to pick up, I wasn't able to put it down till the end!
Everyone in the book seems to have some sort of secret to protect, and some will go to greater lengths than others in order to protect them. Some of the secrets are fairly obvious early on, while others aren't revealed until later in the story...and will come as a surprise to the reader. You also won't know for sure who should be trusted and who shouldn't as the story plays out.
The writing could have used a little more polish---too many unnecessary commas, and several rambling paragraphs which were hard to follow---but the plot is well defined and the characters are realistically developed as the story progresses.

Rating: Four stars
"The plot was intricate and it made me want to finish it quickly so I could discover all the mysteries. There was lots of action, a love story and a good depiction of strong women which I really liked. "
