Forsaken

[Nadz@Totally Addicted to Reading]

I have read a few books written by this author which I enjoyed as such when provided with the opportunity to read and review Forsaken I immediately ceased it. Forsaken is a story that will pull you in from the very first line. The action is non-stop and keeps readers on the edge of their seats.

It has the right blend of romance, action, drama and suspense that will keep readers engaged to the very end. I was hoping that the story would be more mysterious, but this was not the case. It was easy to figure out who the villain was a quarter way into the story. It was very obvious, but what kept me turning the pages was trying to figure out how the villain was able to carry out his plans for revenge.

The interaction between the primary characters (Gage and Riley) is entertaining and at times amusing. The chemistry between them burns hotter than before the tragic accident that had claimed the lives of Riley’s parents. After the accident Gage and Riley had parted ways after he vowed never to contact her again. Yet, another tragic circumstance would have them re-connected in a manner they never anticipated.

Based on reviews that I read a few persons have a problem with how Gage was able to recover so quickly from his brother’s death. Personally, I don’t believe he did and besides, I don’t believe he would have had the chance to grieve given the fact that he was being chased by a psychotic killer.
I enjoyed this story and would recommend it to readers who love romantic suspense.

NB I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
