A friend recommended this book to me. I was a little apprehensive; she likes her MC romances a little darker and grittier than I do. But I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did! I really enjoyed this book and stayed up way too late reading it. The main characters, Grace and Lock , are well developed, multidimensional characters who have some tough choices to make. They're not perfect, but they do what they need to do to survive. I was pleasantly surprised by the emotional attachment I had to these characters. It's not often that I find myself crying over a book, but there were some very emotional moments in Lock & Key. I liked the style the author used--alternating between the past and present. It gave a more complete picture of how the characters arrived at this point in their lives.Even though this is a first time writer, you would never guess that from the writing. It's a very well-written book, with interesting, well-developed characters and a suspenseful well thought out plot. My one quibble would be with the last couple of chapters--they felt a little clunky and rushed in parts, but not in others. It certainly wasn't enough to diminish my enjoyment of this book. I can't wait for more from this talented author!
