review 1: The writing was good and I like how the author puts her sentences together. The sentences seemed to have a passionate quality that escalated the passion going on in the plot. There was something missing but I can't quite decide what it is. However, I was compelled to continue reading. I was disappointed in the ending as it almost seemed the author just stopped because she was tired of writing this story. I understand that the reader is able to continue the story in their own minds with different scenarios and I think the author may have wanted that so the reader will continue to think about this book. I just like a more concrete ending and believe I would have still had many thoughts on the book when finished if that had been given to the reader. The book was a quick read... more and I finished it in a couple of hours. Overall I liked it but it isn't a book that I would tell everyone to run and get right away.
review 2: I won this book in a Goodreads give-away as an unedited draft. As it is written in third person narrative, it immediately drew me into the story. I have to admit that although I had a good idea as to the outcome, I couldn't put it down. I don't usually use the term "atmospheric", but this story, set it multiple locations past and present, was exactly that. I enjoyed it, did a double-take at the ending and will consider reading other books by this author. less
