Review
This book actually started out for me with my “bore hackles” up but I was very wrong.
Jayda fakes her own death to get out of an abusive relationship with her cheating,
alcoholic boyfriend. I really wasn’t expecting to enjoy that ride, but I did !! Very much
so !! There are a lot of twist and turns as Jayda takes her new path, all the while being
hunted down, by the police, her ex … her own emotional roller coaster. She meets some
great people along the way. Jayda, on the whole, I didn’t care for, what I did like was
how it all came together so nicely. I really liked The Detective, Ben Foxx. He was a
strong Character for me and I just liked his tough, no nonsense attitude. I very rarely
fall for a female lead. To be honest, they mostly annoy me, so this isn’t a personal thing
about the character. Im just not fond of the females, for the most part. That being said,
the author handled writing her in a wonderful manner that even I, the woman hater (haha)
can appreciate. It didn’t take away from the book at all for me. I was actually pleasantly
surprised with how this book took shape and continued to fluidly move through to the
end. The Grammar and spelling are excellent and the flow of the chapters and characters
is excellent. It is very very well written. The chapters were a bit on the long side, but it
was written very nicely.
For those into Christian type, suspense/romance, then this is absolutely worth every
penny for you, and for those not, well, its still isn’t too bad for you either !!
