Review: I Don't Do Cliffhangers...But
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 01 7, 2014
I really liked this...and if more authors wrote like this maybe I would do it more. I hate the half a story and leaving you on the edge.  I usually bypass all trilogies or books that don't end with one book, because there is too much of a commitment.  But there was no real cliffhanger here and honestly the heroine was so awesome that it bothered me not at all.  I anxiously await the next one.  The heroine has issues, serious issues, but she does not hide behind them at all.  She is sarcastic, funny, feisty...and vulnerable.  This heroine is exactly what most authors attempt to do when writing broken characters.  (And can I just say I love the fact that the author, IIRC, does not say she is broken or use broken in any context? thank you baby Jesus)  You did not have to be told, you understood it without a doubt.  She was strong and unapologetic (for the most part).  The romance was there, but was secondary to her growth...which was realistic.  No hero saves the day and "fixes" everything.  Her wit was awesome!  And the perfect tie in to beauty...loved the symbolism of the mascara.You reeled me in, now let's get on with Part 2, please!
