~ ~ I was
given this book by the publisher via netgalley for an honest review ~ ~
I have
never read any of Caroline Mitchell's other work but after reading this book I
will definitely be delving into her other books. I found that the story managed
to grip you from the beginning and kept you wanting to read more to find out
what would happen next. Even though it was not classed as a romance there was
just enough energy between Ruby and Nathan and Ruby and Downes that you find
yourself voting for which one would end up winning the girl. Much like everyone
else I was hoping that she would come to her senses and realize that there had
to be a way to be with Nathan. 'Lucy' the main bad guy was a nasty piece of
work but she is why I gave the book 4/5 stars, I found that she was a little
flat and the way it ended was a little boring compared to the rest of the book.
The other things that are going on throughout the story make you take less
notice of the fact that 'Lucy' needs a bit more oomph. The rest of the
characters are well thought out and very likable or the type of character that
you love to hate (cough cough Lenny cough cough). You get really good
background on the characters which gets you really attached to them and gives
you a really good understanding of why they are what they are. All in all I
really enjoyed the read and would recommend it to anyone who wants to read
something that keeps you hanging till the end to find out the who done it. Two
thumbs up for this one.
