Hell Without You by Ranae Rose is a story concerning small town prejudices and how it influences and nearly ruins the life of Clem and Donovan. Both are strong enough to over the past and to find their way back to each other . I thought that the book showed the not so good, well honestly, the bad side of living in a small town. Since I live in a small town, I know that it is a realistic portrayed.A couple of things I think could have been written a bit different. The relationship between Clem and Donovan started out a little unrealistically with the road flooding and Clem having to stay at her grandmother’s house, now belonging to Donovan. But hey, this is fiction. Donovan is intense about winning Clem back, perhaps too much in my opinion. Then the action slows down around the middle. When the murder happened, the action moved forward much more quickly, this kept me interested.  In addition, it took too long to find out why Clem is estranged from her family.However, overall I enjoyed the book and would read another by this author. In fact, I have to ask myself why I haven’t heard of this author before.
