Review: I'm pretty tight with my 5 star ratings, but

This book surely deserves it!  Yes, there are some editing mistakes & a little tightening that could be done, but after the first few pages this one managed to make me not care because I was so riveted by the story.  Unlike many of the self-published books these days, I was totally able to lose myself while I outright sobbed over some of the things happening.I save 5 stars for stories that either change my entire point of view on a subject, or are so well written that it seems I've become part of the story.  Both of those things happened for me with The Good Sister.  My head has always recognized how difficult leaving an abusive relationship can be, but my heart just never seemed to grasp it....I mean, really, what kind of a spineless wretch do you have to be to stick around while someone does horrible things to you.  I had a husband who raised his hand to me...once....and his ass was out of the house for good by the end of the week.  But Leanne Davis does a masterful job of showing why it is that way for so many, that I could actually feel the helplessness, fear & self loathing.  I could also feel the joy of not just getting away physically, but starting to be emotionally free as well.I liked that Noah was a slightly flawed hero in that he felt overwhelmed not knowing what was going on & being at a loss to figure out what to do when he eventually caught on.  More of a hero then some muscle bound, genius or rich enough to make things happen...he managed to do what needed to be done & provided exactly what Lindsey truly needed in the end.I got this book for free after reading the author's Zenith series since I liked her style of writing, so I haven't read the others in the Sister series, but this one is so good I will now be buying those.  There are so many free books on Kindle, I almost never pay for one....I will make the exceptions for this series!
