I was particularly impressed when you said that Nichola isn't exactly black or white, and that's very important for me as a reader to see that the author understands human nature. I do wish there was more of a mention of strong female characters but that's okay.

Thank you for the wonderful review!
I totally agree; furthermore, most people are neither 100% black or white, and I'm glad that this translated well in the book. Thanks for stopping by!

I find it irritating when authors rush things near the end. It's like they have a deadline and have to "wrap it up". Sounds like an interesting read. Nice review!
