I read this book after first reading See Jane Fall, and wasn't sure what I expected, so I can't say I was ultimately disappointed or in love. While I loved See Jane Fall better, I didn't hate this one either, and give it a strong 4 stars.What I loved was the emotional tension. This book focused mostly on the interplay between the two and less on external characters like I thought, but it worked well. Erik's protective streak was fun, and so was Katrin's innocent reactions. Regnery grabs you from the first page on this story, that's for sure. I looked forward to reading it and finished it in a day.The only thing I couldn't quite wrap my head around was one emotional part with Erik and his reaction, but I won't go into detail because I don't want to spoil it, and then the ending felt really rushed. While it was believable, it just happened too fast. The lead up to it was really predictable as well. There's no question as to what's going on as it unfolds, which kind of disappointed me, but still goes back to the focus on the main two characters and not external characters.I can't wait to read more from this author!
