This one was a hard one for me. I couldn't quite latch hold of the two main characters for quite a bit of this story. I don't know if the author intended that or not as part of the slow unlayering of these two people.I nearly stopped at the 60% mark when I was feeling no emotions or compassion for either character. I pushed forward, this wouldn't be a long read for me so I figured I could keep going and hope for the best.For a first installment of a serial, the author certainly did end it right. I wasn't totally sold like I am with some serials where I'm just gagging for more and screaming RIGHT NOW! But the author pushed out a solid storyline that left a lot of room for us to find out more. Honestly, I don't know how Xander gonna get out of this one because Gabriella is for sure smitten by that one.I'm almost worried the author is gonna toss in drama and build upon unnecessary drama to keep the readers locked down. I don't see Gabriella as the type to be snarky or ruin things, so I hope the author doesn't pass the buck off to her to cause drama, because at the moment, it is not in her characters traits. I don't think she would be big on hurting Avery either.Do I want to read the next installment? Yes! I would LOVE to see how Xander moves through this one lol*I received a FREE copy via The Book Enthusiast Promotions*
