When Charlie's high school rival, successful novelist Godfrey Priest, comes to down, Charlie isn't too thrilled. Godfrey was always an ego driven jerk, and time and success hasn't changed any of that. But when Godfrey is killed and Charlie finds the body, he starts poking around trying to figure out who did it.

This series debut had lots of twists to the plot, even in the first 100 pages. The characters were real and fresh right out of the gate as well. I truly felt for them. I can't wait to visit them with the next book in the series.

It's an okay read
The premise behind this book was really interesting. That combined with the fact that it is such a short read made me decide to give it a chance. Over all it wasn't bad, however it does itself a disservice by being so short. This could have easily been a 200 page book, so at only 67 pages it feels as if parts are missing. I was never able to connect with the main character, and his relationship with others seemed forced. He was a jerk at the beginning of the book, and he didn't change enough to redeem himself. The main theme of this book is discrimination, but just like everything else the book failed to truly convey it in a meaningful way within its short chapters.

I received an eARC in exchange for an honest review. I made no guarantee of a favorable review and the opinions expressed here are unbiased and my own.

I loved this book just as much as I loved the first one. Toma is exactly as I envisioned him to be and so much more. Thanks to the author's creative writing style you are able to feel every single emotion that Anika and Toma experience. I even found myself calling Toma not so many nice names because though he is trying to do the right thing at times he also is being a jerk. Be forewarned that once you start reading this book you won't want to put it down and I say this because I stayed up late to finish.

I cannot wait to read the next installment.

better than the book
Contains spoilers, click to show
Edward is an abusive jerk (stalking, controlling, literally saying he is trying not to kill her) and relationships should not be like this. It is movies and books like this that teach young girls that it is ok to be treated this way and they end up being hurt mentally or physically. That being said this is the only movie I have seen that was done better than the book. In the book Bella's relationship with Jacob begins on a beach when she fake flirts with him to get information on Edward, she then continues to string him along even though she does no like him, this is not ok! In the movie however he just happens to like her and she seems to show interest back creating an actual love triangle situation.
