I was so excited for this book it literally has everything I would love in a book from one of my favorite genres I even pre-ordered it which I'd rarely do with books and let me tell you I only made it a few chapters in before I had to throw it in my dnf pile I hated the writing it's very immature and extremely repetitive to the point that I couldn't get into it. I still really like the idea behind the whole thing I just couldn't do it put it down for a few months picked it back up try and get back into it and I really just can't get over the writing and yes I know I'm of the unpopular opinion when it comes to this book.

Wow... I didn't know what this story would be about when I started it. I am so glad I decided to do so anyways because it was amazing and wonderful. It was dark.. it was high.. it was low.. it was all over the place.. my feelings were invested so much that I kept reading until it was over and then I was left wishing I had more. It was wonderful. The writing was deep and complex and it was a roller coaster ride of emotions. The writing was erotic, thrilling and sensual.. it made you think... and made you wonder about what was happening next and there were a lot of surprises. Totally amazing story by Gavazzoni and I recommend it if you enjoy a dark, thrilling and suspensful story.

Hmm... so I don't do much in the way of wars and all that but this one was very interesting. The love story between the man and woman but also the love of the children. The war was also very interesting to read about. The mission was secret and important. The characters held my attention and made me love them and what they were going through. The writing was very well done. It was graphic and mysterious. It was love and heartache. It was very well done because I knew what and how everyone was feeling and what everyone was doing. I could see how it was going down and what was happening in my head because the writing made everything appear as if watching a movie. Very interesting story.

This book reads a lot like a fairy story, starring a girl who feels drawn into the magical world of the forest despite her attachments to the world outside. The writing style felt very lyrical, which seemed very appropriate for the story, and helped to pull me into it all the more effectively. Though it took me a couple of chapters to really get into the story, once I did I found that it was a quick read and kept me interested in the characters and what would happen next. If you're looking for an action packed fantasy story this might not be the book for you, but if you're looking for a magical story and beautiful writing this might be a good book for you to pick up.

What a great thriller debut book for Holly Jackson. I was engrossed from the start to the end with helping Pippa and Ravi find the real killer of Andie Bell. There were so many twist and turns I felt like I was watching a documentary on how solving a real murder case might go. I was invested in the characters as well as the writing was on point.What a great thriller debut book for Holly Jackson.
