This is the third book of  Terry Tyler's that I have read, and I absolutely LOVED IT! I can honestly say that she is one of my all-time favourite authors. I consider it a real treat to read one of her novels. I savour her books as I do my favourite chocolates, Lindt Truffles! I would love to gobble up all her other books at once, but I like knowing that there is a special treat awaiting me when the perfect time and mood strikes. As with her other novels, I now know that once I start to read one of  Tyler's books, I am not going to want to do anything else or be interrupted. I wait until I have the time to read it in one sitting, because as soon as I start to read her amazing writing, I am instantly drawn right into the book. This April, here in Canada, we had a late winter storm, and I was snowed in and unable to go anywhere. What was to be a busy Saturday afternoon running errands, I was unexpectedly left with free time to indulge myself, so I purchased YOU WISH. The characters in YOU WISH are so relatable that before you know it, you feel as though you have known them forever, or know someone just like them. The multi-dimensional plots and characters in YOU WISH are unpredictable in that delightful way where you just go with the flow and enjoy the ride. I could go on forever and tell you specifically my favourite parts, what I love about each of the characters or the way the plots seamlessly evolve, but I do not wish to spoil it for others. I will say that there are several story lines that are inter-twined and I found that as the book progressed I went from loving, hating and feeling sorry for certain characters. The range of emotions the characters bring out is at times spine tingling. Tyler's books have such an amazing "feel" to them, that you know it is her distinctive writing style, but each book is completely different. Tyler has an extraordinary gift for writing and I love the fact that I can never predict where the story is going, or how it will end. I am normally pretty good at figuring out how a book is going to end, but Tyler never fails to surprise me! There are two more books of  Tyler's I have still to read, on my Amazon Wish List. However, like Chocolate Truffles, I shall wait until I cannot ignore the craving any longer and I know I am guaranteed another thoroughly entertaining afternoon. Perhaps there will be another snowstorm in May?
