Review:
I have so many mixed emotions about this book. One minute i loved it the next minute it slowed down and i was beginning to see myself becoming bored. But their were so many points in the book which left me gripped. The story follows Rina through her childhood in London to the excitement of mexico. The character portrayal in this story was brilliantly put across. The only down side to this story was some parts leaving me bored, but overall this was a well written piece of fiction. I would defiantly recommend this book. I will be reviewing the follow up to this story “threat” in June 2017.
