Pawn of Innocence is a story of discovery, love and finding your own place in the world. It centres around Camille. A young woman who has everything she could possibly ask for. The only problem is her father. Due to a tragedy that took her mother's life. Camille's father isn't taking any chances with the thing he values most. She is forever watched by bodyguards. As a way to deal with this claustrophobic surveillance, Camille escapes on breaks abroad. Challenging her father's intentions and authority. But little does she realise her father has good cause to fear for her safety. On a trip away everything changes for Camille. She not only finds herself falling in love but running from danger. Unfortunately for Camille danger and love seem to go hand in hand.Pawn of Innocence is a good and enjoyable read. Though the beginning was a little slow, I did not think this affected the story as I enjoyed getting to know the tenacious Camille and her family and friends. For a winter read, this is the book. Filled with wonderful locations, you can easily imagine the rich world Camille inhabits. A world which is helped along with a Sights and Sounds feature. I'd never come across this before. It was an interesting addition.
