This is a suspenseful and gripping story. The storyline is intense and intriguing, the twists are unexpected and dramatic and the ending was shocking. I couldn't put it down, from the very beginning it captured my complete attention and kept me turning the pages. Having said that, I think Sydney is beyond stupid. Her past should have made her too wary of Adrian to have anything to do with him. Blake is a nice guy, he's charming and sweet and patient, but insecure, which causes all sorts of drama. GW is funny, loyal and a genius, but when he had a chance to save Blake from suspicion he didn't do anything. That totally turned me off of him. This makes it sound like I didn't like the book, but I really did love it. And I recommend adding it to your TBR list. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Candid Book Reviews.
