With this one, I think it's the kind of read that you might want to just take a chance on to see if it's for you.Lee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-12771613087099589562013-02-09T03:00:46.288-05:002013-02-09T03:00:46.288-05:00Wah, all of these 3.5 ratings are driving me crazy...Wah, all of these 3.5 ratings are driving me crazy! To read or not to read...I'm thinking about this question every time this book appears on a blog :) Anyway, your review at least gave me a better picture of what the story actually is about!

I wish that Mallory had been a little more like Aya, or that her storyline had been part of Kaleb's POV instead of her having her own.Lee @ Rally the Readershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316252000736657757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873992034703741659.post-46951506822973714032013-02-08T04:47:41.199-05:002013-02-08T04:47:41.199-05:00This was good, and I was surprised by how much I l...This was good, and I was surprised by how much I liked it!

However, I’ve long been impressed with Marr’s ability to write strong female leads, and Aya, as you describe her, sounds great and definitely worth reading about.Renae @ Respiring Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01269581772628307546noreply@blogger.com
