    This is enjoyable. A thoughtful and unique story that makes you think. Isn’t that what fiction is all about - a break from reality to hear a story? Give it a try! It’s worth it.

    An implausible tale which somehow still manages to keep your attention. The writing isn't very good, and the plot is a complete stretch, but it is a moderately entertaining read. All in all, though, I wouldn't spend the money on this one.

    LOVED IT!!! Sometimes it was hard to put down. Hard to believe it was the first book Karen wrote. Sounds like there will be another book to follow this one. If you ever have a book signing in Houston, Tx., please announce it the dates, it will be worth it! Charlotte
