Pretty good!
To come back from vacation and find that your best friend is near
death would dishearten anyone, including me. But when Rhea checks
on her, things don't add up between the paperwork at the hospital
and what she sees. I can't blame her for going the extra mile to
find out what happened to her best friend.
Lots of suspense keeps you turning the pages - well after you
should be in bed sleeping. One thing leads to another, and while
each thing only strengthens what Rhea believes is going on, the
'why' of it is explained at the end, proving that some people will
go to great lengths to get what they want.
I liked Rhea - stubborn to a fault, she digs and digs, unrelenting,
even after the situation heats up and she becomes a target. I liked
that stubborness and courage, even when faced with the most awful
of things.
And I liked Mike. Similar to Rhea, they are a pair made for each
other and I can't wait to read more about them. You feel the spark
between them, the tension that the author intends for you to feel.
All the characters are likable, and the ones to hate you hate
appropriately. The action scenes are great, whether being attacked
or being saved. The ending came as a surprise. Just when I thought
I had it all figured out, the one person I couldn't and wouldn't
think of actually did the unspeakable. Incredible, terrific, can't
wait to read the next!
