And I can not wait to read more of her books. This book was so hard to put down that I could hardly get anything else done! I just kept thinking about the story and what would happen next. The book was wonderfully written, and I could easily connect with the main characters. There were some great surprises in the book, and I enjoyed seeing the characters grow during the story. It was a book that definitely kept my interest, and had me finishing it in record time since I could hardly put it down!   I received this book free from the publisher, Thomas Nelson,  through the BookLook Bloggers book review program. The opinions are my own.
