I've only read one of April's books, which is ridiculous since she's local and I see her all the time, but I've been thinking I need to get busy and read more of them. I'm glad you enjoyed this one. I think the wrap up being so quick would be a bit disorienting, but I remember that being the case with her other book I read. And I think that while it's disorienting, in many ways I find it a relief so it's not really a big negative for me.Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01701325312535440179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-8949577340162585572013-06-12T19:30:49.903-04:002013-06-12T19:30:49.903-04:00Wow, I feel like I've been living under a rock...Wow, I feel like I've been living under a rock.

I thought her matter-of-fact style matched the overall tone of the book perfectly. Short sentences are a great way to build up tension. Still, I'm a tiny bit tired of memory loss books, and yet, I know I'll be reading this one as soon as the UK publisher offers. <br />Just to change things up a bit.<br />Great review, Jenny!

I'm definitely curious about this one. I'm not sure how much a fan I am of amnesia in my main character, but when done right, it can be just as suspenseful as a killer with a knife bearing down on the main character.<br /><br />Great review, Jenny!

This one sounds like it would make a rather thrilling movie. LOVE that the heroine is strong and capable without being over the top about it - and that she makes reasonable decisions. But it sounds like it is rushed at the end, which is disappointing. Well written and engaging review!
