Review:
3-Star
I had high
hopes for this story when I read the description, but to me the story feels dry
and does flow flawlessly. It was easy to
put down for days at a time and then I would remember that I needed to finish
it so I could do my review. While I did
enjoy it, it didn’t catch me up like I thought it would. The Editing is great I
didn’t find errors that I find so often nowadays, but to me a book should
engage me to where I don’t want to put it down and this didn’t do it at all.
Conclusion:
Would I recommend
this book to others NO
Would I buy
this book for another NO
Would I read
other books by this Author Maybe
