Review: Another Great Book

I have really enjoyed reading the Lei Crime Series, including the Companion Books. I have reviewed each one I've read. This one really tied up a lot of stories within the books. We learned more about Lei's maternal grandmother and grandfather. We get closure for "problems" that have been sort of hanging over Lei's head, both with crimes and romance. I love how Toby Neal reveals information throughout her books. She does not just "tell" you this information, she lets it all unfold within the story being told. This latest book was a hard one to read because of the sad subject matter of suicide and assisted suicide. I loved having a third main character in Sofie Ang, the FBI computer whiz. It was heart wrenching to read how the suicide pictures and information affected her life. She has become a very real character. I'm loving these friends and co-workers of Lei's, and was super pleased to read in Ms. Neal's information at the end of the book, that Twisted Vines will not be the last of the series as she had previously thought. I like that she said these characters just have more stories to tell. I am a lover of series, and have to say the hardest thing about loving to read is getting to the end of a series and not having these wonderful characters, who have become great friends, around anymore. I'm on my way to reading the last of her books I have not read yet. It is a companion one, Unsound, and will be mostly about Dr. Wilson's struggles in life. I'd just like to thank Ms. Neal for her very wonderful, insightful novels. I hope she continues writing more and more. I hope this review will convince you to take a risk and read her books, I feel they are definitely worth it. Enjoy!
