Amy Stuart is quite the writer for I read this novel pretty much in one sitting for it was quite the page-turner. I could not wait to find out if some of the characters got what they had coming for I was surprised at some of them. Now, I am an Amy Stuart fan. The layout of the book that Amy chose was to use short chapters that made this book a fast read but entertaining. The type font is small but still readable.
