fleurette's review against another edition
3.0
This is my first book by Susan Crandall and I will probably give her another chance one day. This is not a bad book but it could definitely be better.
Let's start with the things I liked. The main idea of the story is quite interesting. Abby, the heroine, suffers from sleepwalking since she was a child. It traumatised her whole life. It's a nice and pretty fresh idea. It also makes the whole car accident case more intriguing(though I hate the fact that Abby is actually sleep-driving, that's a bit over the top) . The whole suspense idea is rather good, unfortunately, the execution is not that great.
And here we come to the things I don't like about this story. Let's start with Abby - one of those annoying heroines. She always knows better and she always have to carry her point. She is stubborn to the point of being stupid. Most of the time she is just irritating and it's hard to feel sorry for her. And Jason, the hero, is unfortunately paper-thin. He is one of those heroes too good to be real but at the same time he is not a full shaped character.
Than we've got the idea of instant-love. At least on Jason part. For some totally unclear reason he fells in love with Abby at the first sight. She follows his steps quite fast and for some as mysterious reasons (of course despite him being a knight in a shining armour and Prince Charming). The suspense part, although pretty twisted and eventful, is lacking some atmosphere of thrill.
But what this story is asking for is the epilogue. I was so surprised when I didn't find one! This is a stand alone and there are still so many unfinished things and questions. Like, what about Bryce or did Abby and her sister worked out their problems? And we are left without answers.
Like I said, this is probably not my last book from Susan Crandall but this one I'm giving weak 3 stars.

I wouldn't have picked this on my own, but received as Goodreads "give away". I'm not usually one to read this genre (romantic suspense), but it wasn't so bad. Had action enough to keep my interest to the end.
