review 1: This was a 3.5 stars for me. It is the working week again so I can't spend all hours reading (like I do on the weekend). I read this over two days which sometimes works for me and sometimes doesn't. This was was totally readable. I liked the action in the storyline and I liked the characters. I liked the fact that the hero wore glasses... you don't read a lot with that feature! I liked that the heroine was strong and even in the tough parts (like the "mirro" bit) she didn't suddenly have an about face and have 30 years of insecurity "cured"! The relationship between the H/h could perhaps been a little stronger for me it just seemed to lack "something". Overall, I enjoyed this book, it was very readable.
review 2: AUDIOBOOK NARRATOR PROBLEM:I wanted to buy the a... moreudiobook but I did not, because I could hear the narrator’s BREATHS. The narrator Romy Nordlinger needs to use a different microphone, or do something in the editing process to remove her breathing. THE KINDLE BOOK:This was ok for suspense, but it just didn’t excite me. Things felt superficial.The main weakness was not enough showing how things got done or how knowledge was obtained. I didn’t know enough about the bad guys - why they kidnapped, how they kidnapped, what they did with victims, how victims were released and saved. I also wanted to know more about the good guys - Cole and others in the Association. The main story is between the couple and their conversations together and not enough about things outside the main couple. She breaks into a building. He catches her and then they both do it again together. So the main suspense is the risk of getting caught and then escaping. Everything else is background. I think character development was a little wooden. She had some issues I did not understand. He is supposed to be a math genius who does things with formulas and probabilities, but I didn’t see anything done with that skill. That would have been interesting.DATA:Narrative mode: 3rd person. Kindle count length: 2,824 (202 to 296 pages). Swearing language: strong. Sexual language: strong. Number of sex scenes: 5. Setting: current day California. Copyright: 2013.
