I grabbed this book on a whim when I was wandering through Barnes and Noble with my Mom and sister. The back of it really appealed to me, I mean it says it has a forced marriage, what could be better? It practically screamed to me that there would be romance and i was hooked. When I started reading it though, that was another story. It felt like things were moving too fast and too many people were introduced right away for me to really keep track of. I needed just a moment to feel out Lou before being thrown into the action I think. I needed to like her a little before I could be stressed about her chaotic life as a thief. Is that just me?
Honestly, I didn't really get into this book until I was about a hundred pages into it. At that point I had enough of a vested interest in the characters that I really wanted to find out what was happening with them. Lou was interesting too because it always felt like she was keeping secrets from everyone, even the reader. And poor Reid, most of the time I just wanted to shake him. If he hadn't been so focused on seeing the world the way he wanted to, he would have discovered the truth so much sooner. At least I hope so, he seems like a smart guy.
Anyway, the last half of the book grabbed me so hard that I did spend a late night finishing it. The hook at that point was strong and would not let me go. I'm excited to read the next one at some point, but I've heard that it's not good. Is that true? It would be so disappointing if it was because, like I said, it just got better the more I read.
