My Review

~It's as confusing as the blurb makes it seem...~

I wanted to like this book. Unfortunately it was just ok. The writing style was very hard to follow and I almost D-N-F early on but I forced myself through considering how short it actually is. 

Confusion is something I constantly felt while reading this. The first few chapters had my head spinning. I could not figure out where they were. So much mention of South America, Brazil and Chicago that I had question marks spitting from my head. There was so much potential and I didn’t hate it, the story itself just seems underdeveloped. It begins in second person and then halfway through the story it’s 1^st person and the characters are engaging readers. Also there’s mention of this higher power referred to as the Syndicate. All I got out of this was it was some rich and shady organization for the rich and powerful. It was just another confusing element. Mix in a crazy heroine, rich and powerful alpha male who wants her no matter the consequences and the end result is this. 

The end was interesting because I actually want to read the second part more. I only hope that the numbers of grammar/spelling errors are less and the story is fleshed out a bit more. There was the presence of that annoying telling-not showing style that I could do without.

HAPPY READING!!!
