Hook: Theodosia Benton has a plan for her future: becoming a successful attorney. But, she drops it all with hopes of becoming a real, published author. She moves in with her brother, and meets a mentor. He seems perfect- an author in his own right. Until, one day, he is found dead. The worst part- her brother is now a suspect. Theo won't hesitate to do anything for him, and he will to do the same to protect her. At last, their only option left seems to be death.
Review: Wow. I was expecting this book to be good, but this was REALLY good. The plot was interesting and action packed, without going too fast, the characters had in-depth personalities and were very unique, and I really liked the ending. Just before the ending I was really questioning whether or not the book could pull itself together to form a good ending, and it did! I was super impressed and honestly consider this one of the best books I’ve read this year.
Rating: 9.5/10
I would strongly recommend this book
