This book really surprised me. Not only was it a sweet romance, but it started very light and fun. It did get a bit more serious, not it a lot lighter than the summary suggests.The focus of the story is really Lucy. She is a true storyteller. When she tells a story, which she does quite regularly, it is hypnotic and entertaining. Not just for the listeners in the story, but also for me as a reader. I could feel her draw whenever she spoke, which is quite a feat for an author.Mallory is definitely on the bad guy end of things in the book. He's a monster and his actions are despicable, and yet his character has a real innocence to him. He's hard to hate, but very easy to pity, which is not something you can say for most pychopaths.Overall, this was a delightful read. I was pleasant surprised, and would highly recommend this book to others. Especially if you're looking for an exciting story full of action, which also happens to feel like a lighter read.
