This is exactly the sort of Novel I normally stay away from but this was a group read and therefore I joined in and I loved the book.
This was one of those book that had me sitting up longer than normal to finish. I loved the characters and the plot and I really enjoyed the authors style of writing.
I am normally tight with my 5 stars but this book really made me sit up and think as it was a story that really caught my attention and I enjoyed the Novel and would recommend it to others.
