I also blame the fact that the romance wasn’t as astounding as I hoped it’d be. I guess it’s bad for a romance book to feel like the romance got in the way of the story but Abigail’s back story is just so intriguing that you’d want to read nothing else. I would have loved it more if there was less romance as I thought it broke the consistent thrill of the witness plot but nevertheless, it was still a good read for me. The first few chapters are very compelling. Reading it feels like the author knows what she’s doing and she knows what she wants to happen in every chapter. It’s nice and pretty enough so a 3 shall fit just fine. Nothing special or captivating about the cover.
