Thompson has a natural writing style that somehow adds to the intensity of the story.  She doesn’t employ any gimmicks other than good, old-fashioned storytelling in a modern light.  She lays out her scenes in a very vivid and visual manner, allowing her audience to immerse themselves in the beauty of the scenes while being caught up in the suspense of the story.  Thompson masterfully keeps her audience on their toes, taking them on twists and turns that you’d never imagine while keeping them fully and completely engaged in her exquisite story.  And at the same time, steamy romance melds its way into the mix.Thompson’s characters are off the hook as well.  Although they are caught up in off the charts events they are also human.  Family and humanity reign in this novel, while each character still remains true to themselves.  Somehow Thompson shows how her characters are able to go above and beyond without ever betraying what makes them intrinsically themselves.  Now, that isn’t to say that all of her characters are stellar citizens.  There is also a very strong representation of the darker side of life.  These characters are developed in such a manner that they send chills down your spine.  I’ll never be able to look at a man with a red tie the same way again.Overall, this was a fast paced and suspenseful novel that kept me on my toes throughout.  It was a brilliant introduction to Thompson’s writing that has definitely sparked me to read more of her work.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this one to anyone.Please note that I received this novel free of charge from the author in exchange for an honest review.
