My Review
★★★★★
I truly enjoyed reading this book. It is more of an adventure story than a romance in my opinion, although romance is one of the main storylines through the book. I couldn't put this book down. I never knew what was going to happen, who the bad guy was, or who Vera could trust.
Let me tell you a bit about the story, without giving too much away. Vera witnessed something terrible when she was a child. This led her to never truly trusting anyone enough to let go and fall in love. Vera starts to get strange letters and text messages referring to the horrible experience from her childhood. This leads her to an adventure with so many twists and turns that she can never quite figure out who to trust and who not to. Is she truly falling for Zach? Should she tell him her secret? Who is sending these messages to her? These questions and more are expertly answered in this incredibly written story. You will go on a journey with Vera from California to Australia as she searches for the answers, tries to avoid danger, and has a few steamy encounters.
The ending has good closure on all the events throughout the book. There are no questions left unanswered, which I find refreshing. I dislike reading a book and then getting to the end with more questions than answers. The book is part of a series but each book can be read as a stand alone. I am going to read the other books now that I know how good the writing is by this author.
I recommend this book to anyone that loves a good mystery as well as romance lovers. It is for adults, as there are a few steamy sex scenes.
