review 1: Got this one for free on Amazon.com for the Kindle)If you, dear reader, are following on my reviews, you might notice that I read this after reading Dead To You...I know, a little sadistic of me reading two really good books about child abduction. But I try to follow a list and this coincidence was unavoidable, in a sense. It just felt right to read this book, otherwise I would've tracked down the one meant to be read this day. :DI may be wrong, but I think this book was published by independent terms. Way to go PJ Sharon! I read at the end that this book in particular went for a lot of rewards, and for good reason. I want to comment on the style before it slips my mind into the mists of my mind where it will remain a mystery if I do not let it see the light of day.It was ... moreamazing! I just, I don't know, it shows a lot of courage writing a story in this particular style. Why? Because of what the story is about and because that written in any other style would have ruin the effect of the story. That pacing of leaving some details unexplained, moving forward to more important issues, taking the time to the lot to really sink in before stirring it, yeah, definitely worked for me. Although, I have to say, and I'm sorry, I would've liked it better if the transition between Brinn's wild life to finding her way to her family again and starting over her new life, those chapters between the before and after, they just seemed rushed and even though I can see it happening, seemed implausible for me, too easy, not dramatic enough. But other than that, perfect. Like I said, the writing was a mix of perfection and bliss...The feelings, Brinn's fears, Justin's part in everything and again, the details that were not as important as the story in front of us left alone to their own devices, like windows open for our imagination to crawl in and do whatever it want with them. So it shocks me that I got it for free because for being a free book it's not half bad. Not bad at all. So, if you have it and you are doubting...READ IT! I do not know if it will be for free again on the site but it does not harms the author your help through the action of buying her lovely book(s). Will I read another PJ Sharon? Of course! :DAnd just FYI, I've been vague on details because I do not like spoilers so do not expect those from me. :D Have a nice reading!
review 2: I can't necessarily say that it's a reinterpretation of the Cinderella fairy tale but I still thought it was pretty good. I thought the concept was interesting, abuse victim having survived years on her own attempts to reenter society. I did think that the author could have dived a bit deeper into her internal demons. And though it was 8 yrs later, she almost seemed too well adjusted after what she went through. Of course maybe this was done on purpose to make it not so heavy. The romancey/relationship stuff isn't too much but even then it could get a bit sickly sweet. But all in all a good read. less
