Review: I didn't want it to be over!

I loved this book! The writing style will not be for everyone, and it was a little rough around the edges (I'll get to that in a second) but wowza! I loved how complicated and three dimensional Red is. She was no boring goody-two shoes, that's for sure. She's flawed and real. She makes mistakes, but she eventually figures out the error of her ways. And Malcolm! Gotta love a man who knows what he wants and will do anything to get it. I am waiting anxiously for the sequel!Now the cons:Girl, get an editor. There were many typos, and a few that took me out of the story. Also, clarity is a writer's best friend. An editor could help clear up some of the clarity issues. There were a few times when I had to go back and re-read a passage to figure out who was talking. This book was too good to be bogged down with these kind of issues!The ending (the very last few pages) seemed a little rushed, and then it ended abruptly. Even though there's a sequel, it could have ended on more of a BOOM note, to keep us wanting to read more. As of now, the way it's worded is very meh - the story just kind of is over.Anyway, I'm very glad I read this. I'm definitely adding Shannon Dianne to my list of must-read authors.
