Customer Reviews
Enjoyable read with surprising end
Overall I enjoyed this book with a likes le rogue as the lead character. Perhaps a few extra chapters not required like the interview with older gossip lady but otherwise thumbs up!
An Exciting Read
This book was an exciting read. Right from the moment I opened this book I could not set it down. The plot had prevalent themes of mystery as well as exciting twists. I would recommend this book to those who are looking for an immersive read that will wholly occupy them self. The only negative remark I would voice in regards to this book is that, there are a lot of characters that are reintroduced at different stages throughout the book. Because of this, you do have to acknowledge each and every character and their role within the plot otherwise the events in the book can become hazy or even confusing. Overall it was a great read with an exhilarating plot, especially towards the end.
Loved it
