Now, usually when I see a blurb like the one I saw on this book, I am wholly intrigued only to be completely let down. Let me explain...
The back of this novel told of multiple tragedies and secrets letting on for it to be a very interesting tale but it was this blurb that spoiled the book for me. Don't get me wrong - I couldn't put it down - it's just that the back told me almost EVERYTHING that happened until about page 340 where there was only 100 pages left that were 'mysterious'. This ruined it a lot for me. In addition, I thought that Kendra's secret was played out for too long. I do understand how it was made to seem as though it was hard for her to admit the secret but it left me formulating ideas about what it could be, only to have them continually solidified throughout the book so the actual revelation wasn't so 'WOW'.
That said, I really loved the narration style of the book. I was easy to follow and packed with similes (which I love). Therefore it was very interesting and it was nice to have the 1st person narration take you to the forefront of battle scenes and intimacy. Overall a generally pleasing and realistic read.
