Been waiting for this one for a while and I wasn't disappointed.
Regin has always been a fun character, if a little unorthodox, and I enjoyed reading about her and Aidan's past. I have to admit I was a little upset reading various bits in this story because I was really wanting them to get together and everytime she got hurt, I wanted to scream at Aidan/Chase.
In my opinion that makes it an amazing story therefore 5 fabulous stars!

Well this certainly had a different storyline to the manga I've been reading lately. It was so interesting, especially when we saw them 10 years in the future, too. I even had a little cry myself at that point, they were all still so together, only missing a certain person, and the emotions were flying around.
I'm intrigued as to where this story will go. Will she manage to save him and maybe, hopefully, end up in a happy relationship with him herself?

Think this was more of a 3.5 for me. I wasn't a fan of Raven not being with the team after being kidnapped and Houdini doing what he did to her, some bits more than others. I'm still very Raven/Christian please-get-together orientated so for a while I was very reluctant to carry on with this but in the end their undeniable attraction reared it's head again, so yay. I'm interested to see what's going to happen next with Keystone.

Story telling
Macho
Cockney
Very british
Interesting set-up
I think if someone described his movie to me beforehand I wouldn't have bothered, this type of story telling doesnt usually appeal to me. However, after the initial annoyance of the continuous back and forth between present and past events I did enjoy it. I love the colourful british language and the premise is good. Perhaps a little over the top.
The cast work well together.

Little Sacrifices was a mixture of good and bad. The prose was generally well constructed, precise and authentic.
However, I found the plot lines disjointed and scatty. They didn't seem to be woven together very well, more like levered in to suit the whims of the author.
I was initially attracted to the book by the civil rights themes but found it mainly a book about teenage issues. On this basis I think this is more suited to a young adult audience.
