review 1: I won this book through GoodReads First Reads. My thanks go out to the author, publisher and website for getting the novel to me. I would describe this book as an entangling romantic story with a twist of some paranormal occurrences and a touch of ancient history. Pretty much the perfect combination of ideas that appeal to my reading taste.I thought this novel was extremely well thought out. I quite enjoyed how everything fit perfectly into place in the end. I found myself rooting for the characters and hoping nothing bad would happen to them even though their circumstances become increasingly unfortunate towards the climax of the book. I found that there was an excellent balance of suspense and easy-reading throughout the story. I quite enjoyed all the more importan... moret characters in the book. I felt that each character was well developed in comparison to many other romance novels. The author did a wonderful job of making the reader connect to the different characters in all different ways. One chapter you are hoping one couple gets together and in the next chapter, you hope for a completely different couple.Overall, I really enjoyed reading this novel and will attempt to read more of Mia Marlowe's books in the future (strictly due to my experience reading this story).
