My Review: So first off fair warning this one is told in not one, not two, nope FIVE POVS!! And lord did it make it so confusing. This story was a mess of plot holes, way too many POVs, and just an overall flow that didn't work at all. I have loved some of this authors other books were she has written with someone else but I do not think I will try another from her alone.
