Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 02 9, 2014
(ARC received from author in exchange for an honest review)Oh Cat, what have you done to me? For weeks now I’ve not been able to pick up a book and read it straight through. I’m having a book funk of epic proportions and I expected to have the same issues with Escaping Me. Urm that didn’t happen, in fact I pulled an all-nighter to finish this in one sitting.Cat, I am seriously in love with the way you write a story. I love how the book has you stood there with the characters, interacting with them and being a part of their lives. I love that there is no mindless inner dialog; I hate it when characters get lost in their own heads and the rest of the books features are forgotten about. It’s like watching a film, where the main character sits in a chair and doesn’t move while you’re listening to the voice over *yawn*. It’s a trap a lot of authors fall into but not Cat, with Escaping Me you are the movie. Being dragged along with the suspense, love and freaking HAWT love scenes. Have I said yet that I love this book?This book is in my top 5 of rocker books, it hits all the right notes. The plot line has the right mix of everything needed to keep you engaged without over or under whelming you. The characters, well the characters have you falling in love with each of them. Even Tad and Landon, if I’m honest, I just loved to hate them. They are all written in a way that you have no option but to invest yourself in them emotionally, be it love ‘em or hate ‘em.I normally go into a bit of a run down on the two lead characters in my reviews but I’d have to give you a run down on all of them, as I love them all the same, and I’m not one for giving spoilers.The one thing that shocked me about Escaping Me is the fact that it is told in Daisy’s POV only. I have never and I mean never, been able to connect with secondary characters on this level without having their POV being told. Single POV books don’t bother me I just prefer to read from more than one view point so that I get a more rounded view of the emotions running through a book. Cat has changed me, she has shown me how a single POV book should be written and has set the bar high.Right, enough now because I could go on and on and on about this book and this review needs posting as part of the blog tour. This is one rocker book you won’t regret reading.
