a delightful read! (0 more)
I was gifted my copy of this book, direct from the author.

Ms Pratt has a way with words, writing contemporary, that few can master. She nails it here, she really does.

I loved that Roman is given the voice, rather than Juliette. It's been a long, LONG time since I read a book written entirely from the male's POV only, but I loved it here.

Juliette kinda annoyed me at points, and I think, had she been given a voice, I might not have enjoyed this quite so much.

Roman's PTSD is dealt with sensitively, and very well. It's hard reading, but Ms Pratt delivers it, at every level. Made me cry a time or three. I loved when he realizes those cloest to him really are his family, his found family, but still.

A not easy, but very well written and delivered, 4 stars and I thank you for my copy!

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review when I signed up to host the book tour. I made no guarantee of a favorable review.

Good book but was extremely slow at the beginning and though I wanted to put it down and stop reading it I continued and found that it did start to become interesting. Tragedy hits Bella and her family which was extremely sad but I did enjoy the relationship between Bella and Jeremiah and some parts of the story dropped my jaw wide open. It is a good read, I just wish it hadn't dragged on during certain parts.

I was literally hooked from the very first page. I found myself completely invested in the story, dying to know WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS FAMILY?? Diondra - I would've liked to have punched her in the face throughout the story. I couldn't believe she killed one of the girls! When she went to jail, I felt quite satisfied. And the mother hiring the Angel of Debt? I definitely did not see that coming. One night that went horribly, horribly wrong for everyone involved. It was interesting to me that the author left Crystal "in the wind," so to speak. I suppose that could be considered an opening for a sequel...
