Misty's Review:
If you can love a book based on it's cover, then that is what happened to me. Is it not gorgeous? But seriously, loved, loved, loved this book (based on its content). I wanted it to be a little longer, and I wanted the plot to be more complex, specifically I wished there was more than one option for the bad guy. But to be fair, it's not a mystery, and it's completely good the way it is.
One thing I particularly liked about this book was Logan's little daughter. So often when I read books that feature a child like this, the child either detracts from the action or is so unrealistically written (saying and doing things that don't intellectually correspond to the child's age) that it is a distraction. But ZaZa was so well done, she was a delight to read about.
Suspense novels are not exactly my thing (I sometimes stop reading a book if it's too suspenseful), but I totally love the perfect amount of suspense in Slack's books. And I love that I can expect them to be clean and even uplifting in a way.

Yet another that I am adding to my list. And yes, I am totally taken with a cover. They are so important! :)
