I read this book without fully understanding what it was about. I admit it was the cover the mostly intrigued me and I dove in. I was completely captivated from the very beginning! I could not put it down. It was so well written and the characters gave me something to root for. I don't even usually like books like this cause I've got an active imagination and have nightmares - but I adored this book and would easily read it again. It was gripping, thrilling, nerve wracking, sweet, and had it's own story. The only thing I didn't love was that I didn't understand why he didn't just take her directly to the hospital (I won't say more here as I don't want to spoil it). But even so the scene was a sweet one and I think I can appreciate what happened in the scene even though I had a hard time with his decision to not go straight to the emergency room. But even with my questioning the one scene - it did not stop me from thoroughly enjoying the rest of the book and loving every moment as the plot moved forward. Also, the book was clean! Even with death, mayhem, danger, and such, it was not overly gory or graphic. It let the story play out in your head so perfectly that you felt the thrill and fear of the characters, but did not get lost in anything gruesome. She kept the story exactly where it needed to be and I think this author did a fantastic job. I will read this again and I will absolutely recommend it (And I already have).
