Review: A Great First Novel
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is C.S. Janey's first novel, and a fine first effort it is. Technically correct and sound, I found no grammar issues, typos or spelling errors. No "ta-da" moments, surprise characters or anything like that. Each character is built well, in depth and it is obvious a great deal of time was spent on development.Of course there is a character that I hate. Isn't there always? Stefan is a jackwagon. He started out as a jerk, and he ended as an even bigger jerk to me. Am I the only one? Probably. Why is that? I really don't know. For some reason he rubbed me the wrong way.The character of Ellie is amazingly in depth to me. Is she a perfect "person"? Of course not. Are there flaws? Of course. Yet it adds to her, and helps to make her a well rounded person.Pacing is good, a quick read, nicely done "romantic" scenes. Action scenes are well done as well.
