Review: Our review at MustReadBooksOrDie
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 04 5, 2014
I reviewed this at MustReadBooksOrDie with my friend Shelley!Court: I am not sure what I was expecting from a first installment in a novella series, but this definitely was not it! Wow. My mind is still somewhat blown by what I have read. In all of 85 pages, Chloe Adams takes us on quite a harrowing journey. I do have to thank the author for the note at the beginning giving us another warning and insight into what the book was about, how she went about writing it, and the effect it has had on readers so far. That was a really awesome tidbit, and I loved that...especially now knowing what I know. This is not for the faint of heart! Shel: The note at the beginning was perfect; I'm so glad she had it there and I hope it makes it in to every edition she publishes. This novel evoked a lot of strong emotion from me and even though I have so little time to read, I kinda want to find time to read the next book in this series..now.Court: So...I have this thing called a rage boner. That is when I get really really really angry, and there really is no nice words that can be said. I tell Shelley I have this and she knows I'm really pretty dang angry...and that I am holding in all sorts of angst like behavior, pretty much short of throwing myself in the floor and wallering around like a toddler throwing a tantrum. So...now that I've cleared that up...OMELFG...WTF is wrong with these people! There are only I think 3...count 'em...three in this...okay...no FOUR people in this that I can stand. Every one else can seriously go (edit) themselves because they are AWFUL! Wow. I have never hated a book family as much as this one...and we've had some doozys. So...for you fine people...I will try to tuck myself back...and chill out...so you can see that this is a very emotional story that will continue in atleast another installment from what I have researched (need to do some more of that...) and boy-o...all of that from 85 pages...yeah.Shel: I concur with Courtney's expression of rage. The protagonist in this novella series has one of the worst things that can ever happen to you, happen. She has the support of her best friend and a stranger. Everyone else manipulates or uses her or makes her feel even worse than she already does. I was livid a good 90% of this novel...which, I suppose could be a bad thing but I see it as a sign of the writer completely sinking me in to her story. Don't let our anger scare you off..this is definitely a good read. Pick it up and let us know what you think.Shelley: 4 Stars Courtney: 4 Stars
