I actually really enjoyed it! I admit that the thrilling aspect wasn't quite as thrilling to me mostly because I had the "deadly intentions" guy pegged from the start... however I was still completely wrapped up in the ride! This was actually my first trish doller so I'm going to need to go back and read her other ones!Wendynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-2298994211510478582015-06-06T13:56:12.710-04:002015-06-06T13:56:12.710-04:00Ah I was wondering about this one!

I might still try this because of the writing! Or another one of her books :)<br /><br /><br />Awesome review Alexa!Valeriehttp://innocentsmileyx3.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-74209817743666944802015-06-04T11:58:52.759-04:002015-06-04T11:58:52.759-04:00I agree with you.

I also found the thriller elements predictable, and it seemed to me that the main character made a series of questionable choices just to move the plot forward. I also wanted to see a lot more character development. I think if there had been less (or no) romance and the book had focused more on how Cadie had to use her inner strength and resourcefulness to save herself and her friend, I'd have been happier.<br />I remain a huge Trish Doller fan -- not every book, even by a favorite author, always clicks with every reader.<br /> <a href="http://www.jenryland.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Jen at YA Romantics</a>Jen Rylandhttp://jenryland.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-35465476661019698992015-06-04T11:38:20.889-04:002015-06-04T11:38:20.889-04:00You know, this was my first Doller book and I was ...You know, this was my first Doller book and I was surprised how much I loved it. I'm always on the lookout for a good thriller book and I'm always disappointed. I was surprised at how quickly I flew through this. I'm def interested in trying her other books.

I haven't read anything else yet. But I'm not sure about this one either. While I do sometimes go for thrillers, I just don't know. I'm not sure it will be for me, either.Quinn's Book Nookhttp://quinnsbooknook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-31502630802762922942015-06-04T06:19:53.774-04:002015-06-04T06:19:53.774-04:00I don't often read thrillers but I must say, t...I don't often read thrillers but I must say, the premise for this has intrigued me!
