I was pulled into the story just after a few pages and already trying to assume what was going to happen. The story continued to please me as things I didn’t expect kept coming. The book progressed into all these wonderful stories and relationships that Jayda found herself in. It was adventure after adventure. I couldn’t wait to get to the next page.I was ready to go into a suspenseful journey with these characters. When the story wasn’t suspenseful, it was full of wonderful life experiences for Jayda. Jayda was an awesome character. Here is this young woman who had been in a relationship full of abuse for years, yet she is determined to get out of it and make a great new life for herself. Although her new life is built on a foundation of lies, she tries to be as honest as possible as she moves forward with the new people she encounters and forms relationships with. Almost everyone she meets is drawn to her and comes to appreciate her in one way or another. These new bonds prove to help her in the end. I really loved the way the author showed all these characters’ appreciation for Jayda when she needed it the most.This book kept me interested from the beginning to the very last page. The story line was original. The characters were great. This is definitely a book I will pull out and read again. I also recommend this book to anyone that is tired of reading the same old stories over and over again.
