I loved this book so much. I want to go back and reread everything to see what I missed. Didn't see the plot twists coming at all.

The author had me hooked on this story in the first page. This is a well written story. I was able to vision the story in mind. I only wished I knew French. It would have helped with the character names. I am considering learning French now. I am looking forward to reading the other books in the series. This is totally worth reading.
